Job Summary: Are you fascinated by AI, robotics, and the technologies changing how the world gets built? Do you love discovering great stories, asking questions, and turning complex ideas into content that makes people stop and pay attention? Are you equally comfortable writing a compelling social post, interviewing a technical expert, and keeping multiple projects moving?
Bechtel is looking for an EPC Transformation Communications Specialist to help bring to life the innovations changing how we engineer, procure, and build. From autonomous construction equipment and advanced robotics to AI-powered tools and digital engineering, you'll help tell the stories behind the technologies, people, and ideas shaping the future of our industry. This is a hands-on role for a curious, creative communicator who wants to be close to the action. Working alongside the Manager of EPC Transformation Communications, you'll help turn our communications and engagement strategy into engaging content and campaigns that reach employees, customers, and audiences around the world.
We're looking for a talented storyteller who is proactive, detail-oriented, and excited to learn. Someone who doesn't wait for a story to land in their inbox but goes looking for it. You don't need to be an engineer. You do need to be a strong writer, a quick learner, and someone who gets energized by turning big ideas into great communications.
Bechtel is a values-driven culture. The right candidate will have a "one team" mentality and be ready to jump in and maximize communication efforts across the enterprise. Are you bold enough to build what's next? Join us: Built by the Bold
