What are the responsibilities and job description for the Planner/Scheduler position at Bechtel?
Requisition ID: 267324
* Relocation Authorized: National - Family
* Telework Type: Part-Time Telework
* Work Location: Houston, TX
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States and the next large-scale lithium mine. The project has all permits required to commence construction, which is expected to start in 2023. Engineering design and procurement of long-lead equipment is underway, with early works being coordinated.
This project falls under the Lithium Americas umbrella of Lithium Nevada Corporation (LNC). Project site is located ~3 hours northeast of Reno at the southern end of the McDermitt Caldera in Humboldt County, NV, and ~25 miles from the Nevada-Oregon border (or ~1 hour northwest of Winnemucca, NV).
The Project will be developed as an open-pit mining operation using conventional, continuous mining equipment. Given the soft, clay nature of the deposit, minimal blasting and crushing is anticipated. The ore will then be processed in a leaching circuit using sulfuric acid to liberate the lithium from the claystone. Following the leaching process, the lithium bearing solution will be purified using crystallizers and reagents to produce battery-quality Li2CO3.
The Thacker Pass site has a flat and expansive terrain which allows for a very compact footprint and for future potential expansions.
Bechtel will have responsibility for the full EPC/EPCM scope.
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Project Controls Engineer will be assigned to the project full-time, taking direction from the Lead Planner/Scheduler. The position will support our planning and scheduling efforts, as well as support our Level 3 EPCM schedule development.
The Project Controls Engineer will be responsible for helping to facilitate schedule inputs and updates, and supporting the project team in tracking down information for potential schedule impacts to the project baseline. Incorporates schedule data into PowerBI for reporting and coordinates implementation of approved changes into Project Controls tools. Must be a communicator and be able to interface with all levels of the project team.
Our expectation is that this role will be well-organized with strong verbal and written communication skills. This person is expected to support management with other requirements when needed.
The position will be located in Houston, Texas, and may be required at times to travel to other project office locations (e.g., Site in Nevada).
QUALIFICATION AND SKILLS:
Basic Qualifications
* B.S. degree required; preferred in Engineering or Construction Management with minimum of 7 years of experience in home office and/or field non-manual position for a major EPC firm.
* Previous experience in planning and scheduling is required.
* Demonstrated ability to chair an inter-discipline weekly meeting.
* Demonstrated skill in identifying, analyzing, and solving problems.
* Skilled in oral and written communication with demonstrated skill in presenting information to management/clients.
* Knowledge of engineering, procurement, contracts, construction, and startup work processes, as performed by Bechtel, is desired but not required.
* Analytical approach to problem solving.
* Proficiency with MS Office applications (PowerBI is strongly desired).
* Ability to effectively interface with multiple personnel and produce deliverables on time and with high quality.
* Able to work independently to meet project deadlines.
Additional Qualifications
* Must have the right to work in the USA prior to applying for this role (i.e., no visa requirements).
* Local hire from the Houston area is preferred.
