• Work Location:
  
  Thacker Pass, NV
• Salary Range: 105, annually (salary range is based on market data; final salary offered is determined by education, experience, and qualifications of the applicant.)

Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States. Once complete, the mine and processing facilities will produce more lithium carbonate than any other facility in the United States by far – enough to power 1 million electric vehicles per year. As the EPCM contractor for Lithium Americas, Bechtel is responsible for managing and integrating the efforts of a team of contractors engineering and building the facility.

We are also managing procurement of about $1 Billion in goods and services. Earth work began in 2023, and design and procurement of long‑lead equipment is underway.

The project is located in the high desert and wide‑open spaces of north‑central Nevada about 25 miles from the Oregon border, 1 hour northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada and 3 hours northeast of Reno. Planned with sustainability and the environment in mind, the facility will use its excess process heat to generate electricity and will recycle process water up to seven times.

Once the second phase of the project is complete, Tracker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.

In this role, you will integrate ES&H issues and requirements into planning documents, government documents, design specifications and criteria, construction plans and schedules, and subcontract packages for projects. You will have technical responsibility for interpreting complex requirements, evaluating and applying appropriate ES&H engineering principles, and formulating scopes of work, plans, and methodologies suitable for achieving and maintaining compliance with ES&H requirements.

You will provide technical assistance to other ES&H professionals assigned to the project and other project functions, and be responsible for faithfully complying with all project safety rules. You must present emergency response and action protocols for each type of emergency, defining the bases of each case such as the chain of command, levels of emergency, local or external support requirements, and communication plan with emergency chiefs, coordinators, or whoever the project’s emergency plan determines.
