Bechtel Corp. Work Values

Daily Duties at Bechtel Corp.:

Primary role involved issuance of pipe stress calculations for Watt's Bar Unit 2 completion project. This also included field support by field walkdowns and answering RFI's (Requests for Information) from field engineers and other engineering departments. During this time, I also managed the day to day tasks of 8 pipe stress engineers. Also aided in the development and managing resolution of other internal pipe stress issues as in ABSCE (Auxiliary Building Secondary Containment Envelope), pipe interferences, piping insulation requirements and pipe wall thinning detection programs (FAC/MIC).

What they like about Bechtel Corp.:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
