Project Overview:

Mining and Metals

Increasing production of critical minerals provides key components of clean energy technologies, from wind turbines to batteries. This shift to clean energy-and the need for commodities-is critical to underpinning the energy transition. At Bechtel, our teams extract these vital resources to support net zero in a way which is more sustainable than ever before.

Job Summary:

The EPC Transformation Strategy Manager leads the strategic definition and execution of the Mining & Metals (M&M) EPC Transformation agenda, driving delivery excellence that is faster, leaner, and more predictable, strengthening customer confidence and reinforcing Bechtel as a partner of choice. The role reports into the GBU EPC transformation manager.

This role integrates Digital Solutions (AI), Capital Intensity workstreams, Innovation Solutions, and Robotics in the Field into a cohesive transformation roadmap across the EPC value chain. The position bridges strategy and execution-ensuring transformation initiatives move from studies to execution, from pilots to scale, and from proof points to standard practice across regions and projects.

The role is designed for a mid-career professional (10-15 years) with strong EPC domain expertise, transformation leadership experience, and the ability to operationalize change through governance, metrics, and adoption.

Major Responsibilities:

• Improve EPC delivery outcomes across cost, schedule, productivity, predictability, and competitiveness

• Reduce capital intensity through early EPC decision influence and standardized, decision-enabling playbooks
• Scale AI-enabled digital solutions that measurably support project performance
• Build a credible repository of performance metrics and proof points to sustain adoption
• Integrate AI, innovation solutions, and field robotics to enable step-change performance
• Define and continuously refine the M&M EPC Transformation vision, value narrative, and success outcomes.
• Support execution of the EPC Transformation Roadmap, integrating:
• Translate strategic intent into quarterly execution plans, milestones, and adoption targets.
• Ensure initiatives progress from study 1 pilot 1 execution 1 scale across projects and regions.
• Coordinate execution of the Capital Intensity (CI) initiative, a decision-enabling playbook guiding selection of minimal viable solutions across the EPC value chain.
• Support and integrate CI workstreams, including:
• Ensure CI outputs directly support capex reduction, schedule certainty, and productivity improvements.
• Embed CI concepts into business development value propositions and execution planning.
• Drive adoption of transformation initiatives through training, communications, and embedded support.
• Support enterprise objectives for digital, AI, and cybersecurity capability building.
• Support strategic engagement with key clients to understand digital delivery expectations.
