- Chemical and process engineers apply chemical engineering fundamentals and knowledge of unit operations to select, optimize, design, and control the technology necessary to satisfy a customer’s need. Chemical and process engineers participate in technical and economic feasibility studies, optimization studies, process design and specification, system design checking, plant commissioning, startup, operation, and troubleshooting to promote best use of energy utilization, environmental control, product(s) production, capital equipment, and utilities to ensure the greatest benefit to that customer's investment.
- Civil engineers provide critical expertise in the area of site and transportation development (light vehicle, heavy truck, rail, and marine port), hydrology, pipeline (hydraulics), earthen dams and containment and treatment areas, and geotechnical work practices. Civil engineers are responsible for engineering and design specifications, drainage and drainage structures calculations, analysis, and construction support as it relates to civil earthwork design activities. Civil engineers also provide critical interface with equipment suppliers and contractors.
- Control systems engineers provide engineering and design specifications, analysis, construction, and startup support for instrumentation, control systems, and equipment.
- Electrical engineers design the power distribution systems for industrial facilities, power plants, or commercial facilities, and are responsible for power system layout and design, cost-effective selection of equipment and materials, grounding and lighting system design, and motor data sheets.
- Mechanical engineers work in a variety of areas in the design of industrial facilities, power plants, and commercial facilities as they pertain to mechanical equipment and components. Mechanical engineers are responsible for design calculations and equipment sizing, system pressure and flow calculations, material takeoffs and estimating support, design specifications, material requisitions, supplier interface, and construction support.
- Nuclear engineers oversee the critical task of managing nuclear plant licensing, documentation, and safety. Keeping current on evolving developments in the nuclear industry is important to Bechtel engineers, who must assess the impact of changes on current and future projects. Bechtel engineer teams review proposed designs, prepare briefs and/or affidavits for licensing and rate hearings, analyze power plant safety systems, radiation dose and shielding, and power plant modification designs.
- Plant design engineers provide thousands of critical piping drawings and calculations and a variety of engineering talent to form integrated teams addressing piping design, piping stress and support, and piping material control.
- Project and mechanical engineers work with one of the most visible aspects of a project: plant hardware. They provide critical expertise in mechanical system design, facility design, nuclear and fossil power plant design, flue gas cleaning, transportation facilities, and industrial/petrochemical facilities.
- Structural engineers provide critical expertise in structural analysis, dynamics, mechanics, concrete technology, and foundation design.
