The Solutions Chief of Staff is accountable for the performance, sustainability, and growth of the Solutions Talent Engine serving Bechtel's Manufacturing & Technology (M&T) Global Business Unit. The Talent Engine operates through an entry point: all individuals are hired as Solution Specialists and progress through a structured development journey across the Solutions organization's five pillars:
Execution, Applied Simulation, Data & Analytics, Technical Solutions & Strategic Initiatives, and Field Solutions. Through rotational assignments, mentorship, and hands-on delivery opportunities, Solution Specialists build broad business and technical capability, generate value and demand for their expertise, and ultimately transition into project, functional, or leadership roles across the enterprise.

The Chief of Staff owns and governs the end-to-end talent lifecycle: identify, recruit, develop, rotate, place, and repeat. Working in partnership with the Solutions Manager and Solutions Operations, the role establishes and continuously improves the processes, metrics, and governance required to make the Talent Engine a repeatable and scalable source of high-performing talent for M&T. As the Solutions Group matures, the Chief of Staff may take on additional cross-functional responsibilities in partnership with the Solutions Manager.

The Chief of Staff translates emerging business and capability needs into targeted recruiting, onboarding, and development strategies, then actively leads the market engagement required to execute them. Serving as a visible ambassador for M&T Solutions, the role builds and maintains strategic relationships with universities, alumni networks, MBA and graduate programs, Business Resource Groups, veteran transition organizations, and experienced professionals across priority industries including pharmaceuticals, AI data centers, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing.

Through these partnerships, the Chief of Staff ensures a continuous pipeline of diverse, highly capable talent aligned to the future needs of the business.
