One of the best things about working for Bechtel is that they aren’t afraid to put you onto a project straightaway. My first project was the Romanian Motorway, which Bechtel is building to help boost that country’s economy and tourism. Today, I’m working on the new Crossrail project that will run east-west through London. In my job, I observe safety behavior of on-site contractors and make suggestions for safer work practices. I also developed a strategy for site access control to manage short duration and semi-permanent work sites.

I really like working abroad and experiencing different cultures. Each place is unique and the people have their own way of doing things. Adapting to the local environment and customs makes the work even more interesting. Also, it’s exciting to be a part of a Bechtel megaproject.

At Bechtel, the culture is very inclusive and you’re always treated like a professional. One piece of advice I was given was “Be careful what you ask for – you’ll get it!”  This really is a can-do company, which is great.
