Job Fraud Alert

Bechtel has received reports about individuals receiving fraudulent job confirmations and requests for interviews, offers, or solicitations for training via letters, emails, social postings, phone calls, instant messages (including WhatsApp), and texts.

The fraudulent offers typically include the Bechtel logo, the name of an actual Bechtel executive, and a phone number. Potential applicants are encouraged to call in pursuit of job opportunities. Communications and other materials often solicit personal information or money.

If you receive unsolicited job or interview offers or are unsure if the offer you received is fraudulent, contact Bechtel at BrandEnforcement@Bechtel.com. Please forward the email, phone number, and any other documentation you received.

In addition, you may:

• Contact your local authorities.
• Contact the FBI at this link to report the scam: https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx.

Ways to identify potential fraud:

The following can indicate fraudulent behavior:

• An employment opportunity or request is sent to you before you apply for a job on Bechtel.com. Bechtel does not send unsolicited requests, nor do we engage potential employees unless you have applied for a position directly on https://jobs.bechtel.com. 
• Bechtel will never engage with potential employees using WhatsApp.
• You are asked to enter information to apply for a Bechtel job on any other website or form (i.e. via a PDF/Word form) other than https://jobs.bechtel.com. Legitimate jobs are available only through https://jobs.bechtel.com.
• The email you receive comes from an address OTHER THAN [name]@bechtel.com. For example: Emails from similar addresses such as bechtel-corp.us, bechtel.online, and bechtel.construction are fraudulent emails. Please review the full email address. Often, scammers spoof emails or make the visible name appear legitimate to get recipients to open and respond to a solicitation.
• The email you receive comes from a free email provider address such as @gmail, @yahoo, @outlook, @live, etc. The only official email addresses from Bechtel are [name]@bechtel.com.
• You are offered a payment prior to starting work.
• You are asked to pay a fee upon receipt of an offer letter. Bechtel would never ask a potential employee for payment.
• You are offered an opportunity to attend a Bechtel training session for a fee. Bechtel does not offer fee-based training.
• You are told you will be picked up by a Bechtel vehicle to attend the interview.
• You are asked to fill out a PDF application form, or provide copies of official travel documents such as passports visa and work permits, or scan copies of your education degrees prior to legitimate interviews. To apply for a Bechtel job, you must complete an online application through https://jobs.bechtel.com.  Applications ARE NOT sent to the applicant. 

The document or solicitation includes words and phrases that suggest urgency such as complete and send IMMEDIATELY, NOW, RIGHT AWAY, or suggest that negative actions, such as the loss of the opportunity, will occur if that urgency is not met.

For your protection, please do not:

• Respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers of employment from people with whom you are unfamiliar.
• Disclose your personal or financial details to anyone you do not know.
• Send any money in association with a job application
• Engage in further communication with a suspicious sender.
