We work every day to foster a culture that values and seeks out many perspectives, and encourages colleagues to explore, think innovatively, and grow professionally. We’re proud to offer numerous benefits and opportunities to our colleagues to invest in their success and empower them to reach their full potential.

Benefits & Perks

The health and well-being of our colleagues and their families is our top priority. The benefits we offer vary from country to country, based on local practices, customs, and statutory conditions, but may include competitive compensation, medical benefits, retirement plans, life insurance, and paid time off. As a Bechtel colleague, you also have access to a number of professional development opportunities, including virtual courses through Bechtel University.

Diversity & Inclusion

We work to ensure that every colleague feels that they belong as part of “One Team,” and are respected and rewarded for what they bring, supported in pursuing their goals, invested in our values and purpose, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Industry Groups & Associations

We support many partners advancing STEM fields, including the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Engineers, and the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering — among others. In fact, for many, Bechtel was a founding member, supporting most of these efforts for more than five decades.

Business Resource Groups

Bechtel’s employee-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs) bring together various communities of individuals with shared backgrounds, experience, and interests. These voluntary organizations enable colleagues to support each other and create opportunities to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with one another. We have thriving BRGs today representing our Black, Asian, Latino, LGBTQ+, disabled, and military veterans communities, as well as a group for colleagues focused on professional development.

Volunteership & Community Involvement

Our Bechtel colleagues around the world are active members in their communities. They are deeply motivated to give back by working with local organizations to improve lives and leave a lasting positive legacy. Bechtel colleagues are also able to join a bechtel.org project, our impact-driven infrastructure arm, then reintegrate back into Bechtel when assignments are complete, allowing them to transfer their knowledge and experience into commercial projects.

Signature Programs

We partner with global non-government organizations that promote education or use engineering and construction skills to improve the quality of life: DiscoverE, which aims to grow the engineering profession through volunteering, education, and student outreach; Engineers Without Borders, which supports community-driven sustainable design and development programs; FIRST® Robotics, which provides mentor-based programs that build STEM skills.

Hear From Our People

Bechtel is incredibly people focused.

When I first came to Bechtel, I looked around and noticed that everyone around me had been here for 10, 20, or 30+ years. That really stuck out to me. Then I realized, one, that Bechtel is incredibly people focused. Two, the company is full of people who are fundamentally passionate about our customers’ missions and the projects that we get to build.”
