Bechtel Employer Reviews

Great Projects, Great People.

Good mix of experience.

Flex Schedule

Intentional Projects

The company has two annual review processes, one is with employee (A/R) the other is without (PA), no linkage between the two in my case.

A typical day at work was planning, drawing using AutoCAD and walking floors throughout the day to note different changes in RCP's and furniture rearrangement. I learned how important it is to work in a team environment. I also learned how facilities planning is essential to business and the employees. The management is organized and very productive. – more... Most of the management is very involved with every designer. I have to say one thing that I loved about this job was how great Sr. Designers adapted to entry level Designers. They helped immensely in the development of my training and learning. The hardest part of the job was probably to make sure every major move ran smoothly. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing how space planning really came into place and how much of a difference it made when everyone communicated. – less

Bechtel is a great place to work, but the further I advance in my life the less it is a good fit for my family values. The constant moving and juggling of households is beginning to take a toll on our family/work life balance. I don't mind working 60-70 hours a week, I just wish the work was in a permanent for the same salary and per diem allowance. – more...
