Bechtel is building a semiconductor manufacturing plant in New Albany, Ohio. Bechtel will design and build Phase 1 of the Ohio One project, a total of 2.5 million square feet, including 600,000 square feet of clean rooms. Construction will require as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and as much concrete as the tallest skyscrapers.

Bechtel will strengthen future economic development in the region by partnering with the North America Building Trades Unions and suppliers to create several thousand new jobs and work with local education organizations to implement new training programs that will support the future talent pipeline.

This position is dedicated to Project Cardinal, a large-scale Manufacturing & Technology (M&T) construction project in the Columbus / New Albany, Ohio area involving extensive earthwork, deep foundation, and site civil construction. Bechtel is seeking two (2) Senior Field Geotechnical Engineers (Grade 26) to provide on-site engineering leadership and supervision across geotechnical field exploration, earthwork and ground improvement, deep foundation installation and testing, and general site civil works.

This is a senior field role: in addition to hands-on field supervision, the successful candidates will provide technical direction to junior field staff and serve as the primary field interface with home-office geotechnical engineering. This role is primarily field-based; the majority of the work involves on-site inspection and supervision of excavation, dewatering and excavation support, subgrade preparation, backfill and compaction, soil stabilization, deep foundations (drilled shafts/caissons and aggregate piers) with associated load and integrity testing, and paving and site civil works.

The position is part of the Geotechnical & Hydraulic Engineering Services (G&HES) group. The successful candidates will report to and receive technical supervision and functional oversight from the G&HES Group Supervisor / Geotechnical Engineering Manager or their designee, and are expected to work independently in the field while coordinating closely with Construction, CSAOM, ES&H, rigging engineers, and the project management team.

The role is site-based at Project Cardinal for an extended duration, with potential transition to another Bechtel project or permanent office thereafter, and may require travel to other Bechtel and client offices within the U.S. Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a commitment to Bechtel s diversity & inclusion, leadership, quality, and safety values are required.

This senior field-based role provides on-site engineering leadership and supervision for geotechnical and earthwork construction on Project Cardinal, in accordance with applicable procedures, codes, standards, and contract requirements. Specific duties include (but are not limited to):

• Serve as the senior geotechnical field point of contact, providing technical direction, review, and mentoring to junior field…
