Bechtel Limited : Employer profile

Company profile

You may not have heard of Bechtel. But your life has almost certainly been touched by the work we do. You see, across the globe and in virtually every area of engineering and construction, we're tackling the biggest and most challenging projects in the world today. To give you an idea of the scale and scope of our organisation, here are a few statistics. We employ over 49,000 people and have operations in some 140 countries. And we're engaged in many projects around the world, somewhere in the region of 22,000.

Some of our projects
The nature of our work is very high profile: the creation of the Channel Tunnel; the reconstruction of Iraq; engineering the world's biggest oil refinery in India. These are the kind of landmark projects in which our previous graduates have played an instrumental role. And now that we're looking for the next generation, they're the kind of projects you could be involved in too.

Graduate opportunities
Competitive starting salary plus benefits, including private healthcare, pension scheme, Wellness Programme, season ticket loan and much more.

Bechtel's graduates have a breathtaking range and variety of opportunities available to them with truly international career prospects. Experience on a project site, both in the UK and abroad is offered and encouraged right from the start. We're looking for graduates expecting a 2.1 or above in one of the following relevant disciplines: engineering, business, finance and IT.

The ability to take the initiative and work well as a team player are crucial skills for Bechtel graduates. Our people are excited by achieving tangible results. Finding practical solutions to complex problems is central to our success, so you'll need more than just exceptional academic talent. You have to be able to grasp the essentials of any situation quickly, think on your feet, come up with workable ideas, and then communicate them clearly and persuasively.

Individual ‘buddies' smooth your transition into Bechtel, and once here, ‘buddies' and mentors will facilitate your integration into working life. You'll work closely with your personal mentor to devise an individual plan that meets both your aspirations and our business needs. Whatever you decide to do, you'll be expected to add value straight away.

Development
At the core of our Graduate Development Programme is the move towards the acquisition of technical skills. Our Engineering Graduate Development Programme is accredited by the relevant engineering institutions (IChemE, IMechE, IEE, and the Institute of Measurement and Control) and is designed to help you become chartered as early as possible.

Graduates in the non-engineering disciplines are provided the same high level of support to gain professional membership to their relevant institutions (CIPD, CIPS and the British Computer Society).
