You may not have heard of Bechtel. But your life has almost certainly been touched by the work we do. You see, across the globe and in virtually every area of engineering and construction, we're tackling the biggest and most challenging projects in the world today. To give you an idea of the scale and scope of our organisation, here are a few statistics. We employ over 40,000 people and have operations in some 140 countries. And we're engaged in many projects around the world, somewhere in the region of 22,000.

The nature of our work is very high profile: the creation of the Channel Tunnel; the reconstruction of Iraq; engineering the world's biggest oil refinery in India. These are the kind of landmark projects in which our previous graduates have played an instrumental role. And now that we're looking for the next generation, they're the kind of projects you could be involved in too.

Bechtel's graduates have a breathtaking range and variety of opportunities available to them with truly international career prospects. Experience on a project site, both in the UK and abroad is offered and encouraged right from the start.

The ability to take the initiative and work well as a team player are crucial skills for Bechtel graduates. Our people are excited by achieving tangible results. Finding practical solutions to complex problems is central to our success, so you'll need more than just exceptional academic talent.

You have to be able to grasp the essentials of any situation quickly, think on your feet, come up with workable ideas, and then communicate them clearly and persuasively.
