Bechtel Employee Reviews

This is a good company to work for. The one downside is that it can require a lot of long term travel. Your family can come with you. The job may or may not pay for your spouse to be with you.

Pros

good support, pay

Cons

requires travel

Good-long term projects. Bad-moving around to follow the work.

Journeyman Pipefitter (Former Employee) - Sabine Pass, TX - September 3, 2023

Overall you can start out as a helper in a craft and become a superintendent if you desire. You can travel the world, never be without a good paycheck, and the company offers traing, education, advancement and support to employees. Safety culture is excellent, and they never get in a hurry, ever! 5 generations of family and one of the largest contractors on the planet working on mega projects around the globe.

I will never work for Bechtel again.

Work Order Library (Document Control Specialist) (Former Employee) - Waynesboro, GA - August 10, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The pay is pretty decent. That is the only good thing I can say about working for Bechtel.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Management. If all is going well, they will find something to make a fuss about within their group. There is a lot of favoritism.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Stressful, not family orientated. Training is next to none. Your supervisor/manager is more likely not to have experience with the work he/she is supervising and possibly not have supervisory/manager experience.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Stressful and you would hate to be there everyday because of the pettiness of your coworkers and management. You can try to do your work and stay out the mix of the mess but they will bring it to you every chance they get.

Horrible place to work

Mechanic (Current Employee) - Corpus Christi, TX - July 27, 2023

The pay has been decent, but truthfully management is a joke. Nobody is organized I have been transferred from labor to mechanic every bit of what I’ve experienced at Bechtel has been disorganized they preach about safety, but they do not take it. Seriously there is favoritism everywhere you go within this company They do not give you raises like they say they use and abuse you. This is a warning please stay away from this company there are you better companies out there

Supportive

Electrical Engineer (Former Employee) - Remote - June 29, 2023

Bechtel is a company that shows they really care about their employees. Their engineering positions are located away from the cities, so if you want to work within the city and be an engineer, it'll be tough to find a position.
