# Project Overview:

The Cheniere Sabine Pass Liquefaction (SPL) Project is a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export facility located along the Sabine River estuary on the southeastern coast of Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Bulk early work for Stage 1 began at the 1,000+ acre facility in August 2012 and by December 2022, Bechtel had successfully and safely turned over the final phase of Stage 4 to Cheniere.

The SPL campus now consists of six operating Trains with an LNG production capacity of approximately 27 million tons per year (MTPA), 3 Jetty superstructures that can accommodate the world's largest vessels, and dozens of associated buildings and utilities. Sabine Pass Liquefaction Stage 5 Expansion Project (SPL5) is the newest phase at the SPL facility. It will consist of one liquefaction process train with a production capacity of approximately 5 MTPA;

one boil-off gas reliquefaction unit; tie-ins to existing storage tanks, ship-loading facilities, and flare systems; and associated utility support infrastructure. SPL5 will perform this work predominantly on a direct hire basis with support from only a few specialty and service subcontractors.

The Infrastructure GBU scope consists of installing 9000+ precast concrete driven piles, construction of a new concrete retaining wall, ground improvement works (inc. soil stabilization and wick drains), extension of the existing earthworks platform, construction of a new network of roads, and modifications to the stormwater drainage system. The candidate will act as the Lead Surveyor on the SPL5 Project. The candidate may start in the home office in Houston, TX to support preconstruction planning, ahead of project mobilization to the field when the candidate will locate on a long-term assignment to the project site at Sabine Pass, LA.
