Requisition

Relocation Authorized:
National - Camp

Telework Type:
Full-Time Office/Project

Work Location:

Thacker Pass, NV

Salary Range: $77,980 - $118,920 annually (determined by function, 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 manages and integrates the efforts of a team of contractors engineering and building the facility. We also manage 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, Thacker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.

In this role, you will provide technical oversight of the project’s ES&H compliance activities through inspection of project field execution activities.

You will work directly with other project‑level functions to assist them in addressing the applicable ES&H requirements in their work activities and conduct daily site surveillance to verify adequate use of PPE, routine equipment inspections, and project ES&H initiatives.
