The exciting projects, the dedication to innovation and sustainability, and the community involvement all make Bechtel a great place to work, but truly the people are what sets it apart.

I find Bechtel to be a workplace which upholds honor and integrity within the word ethics. I am rewarded with more responsibility and respect for my efforts, should they be above the call of duty. I am constantly reminded through observation that I drive myself, yet without the team, we do not prevail. Like a jigsaw puzzle, everyone is important to complete the big picture. I have found my niche which will provide ample room for growth into a licensed Professional Engineer. It includes engineering and construction, a pinch of project management, and a hint of humility. I am offered opportunity for development and the freedom to request assignments. Most importantly, I know that I am master of my destiny.

Strengthening European Connections, One Roadway at a Time
What can possibly top the construction of the Channel Tunnel, one of modern history’s most famous construction projects? In our view, Bechtel’s work on this engineering icon – known as the Chunnel – paved the way for our latest generation of civil engineering and construction triumphs. Just ask the thousands of men and women who work throughout Europe about Bechtel’s legacy of excellence. We’re sure they’ll tell you it’s the foundation for an extraordinary future.
Today, we’re working in Romania to complete Europe’s largest highway project and developing a major roadway that will connect Kosovo to its neighbor countries. But roads aren’t our sole focus. We recently began work on an aluminum smelter in Iceland.
The bottom line is that no matter where you land in Europe – Iceland, Scotland, Albania or Greece – you’ll find a challenging project waiting for you. Contact us to begin your journey.
