🔬👩🔧 As we reflect on Women's History Month, we are celebrating the next generation of engineers by empowering young women through our #SWENext partnerships. Since 2022, #Bechtel has partnered with schools in Houston, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio, to launch three SWENext clubs—providing K-12 students with leadership training, college prep, and hands-on experiences that spark interest in engineering and construction. Through these partnerships, students have gained hands-on experience and real-world exposure by: 🚧 Exploring Bechtel work sites to see engineering and construction in action 🎤 Engaging with industry experts in panel discussions 🤖 Attending STEM events and Society of Women Engineers annual conferences 🤝 Connecting with Bechtel mentors for career guidance and inspiration At #Bechtel, we’re committed to expanding access to STEM education, mentorship, and career exploration. Together with our partners, we’re excited to inspire and support the next generation of STEM leaders. 🚀

⚡ Bechtel is helping strengthen U.S. energy security and build a resilient domestic supply chain for critical minerals with Thacker Pass. We're excited to share that Bechtel Corporation has received the final go-ahead from Lithium Americas Corp. to build the Thacker Pass lithium mine and processing facility in northern Nevada—home to the world’s largest known lithium reserve. 👉 Fun fact: Thacker Pass has the potential to transform the lithium supply landscape, boosting U.S. production eightfold and positioning the region as a global leader in lithium extraction. Beyond securing this critical resource, the project will: ✅ Create up to 2,000 American construction jobs ✅ Strengthen U.S. energy security ✅ Generate $1 billion+ in annual economic activity To support this effort, Bechtel is partnering with North America's Building Trades Unions to establish apprenticeship programs, equipping local workers with critical skills to power the future. 🗣 “It is impossible to overstate the strategic importance of Thacker Pass. Lithium battery technology is a key driver in the electrification of transportation and energy storage. Having a reliable domestic supply of lithium will be critical to America’s economic competitiveness and energy security. The Thacker Pass project represents a game-changing advance in this effort,” shared Ailie MacAdam, President of Bechtel’s Mining & Metals business. From the Hoover Dam to today’s clean energy infrastructure, Bechtel has a long history of delivering projects that power the future. We’re proud to continue that legacy. 🔗 Read more from Ailie on what this means for the U.S.: https://lnkd.in/euhGb_37

✈️ Bechtel is helping Perth Airport prepare for takeoff. Bechtel has been selected to support and advise an expansion at Perth Airport. This program will increase the size of the terminal facilities, introduce a new parallel runway, and add the airport’s first hotel, along with two multi-story car parks—all within a live operating airport. With passenger numbers expected to grow from 16 million to 20 million annually by 2030, the expansion will help drive tourism and strengthen Western Australia’s economy. As a key gateway, Perth Airport is the only airport in Australia offering direct flights to Europe. The expansion will also consolidate all flight services into one central precinct, enhancing travel for passengers. "Bechtel is proud to help shape the next chapter of aviation in Western Australia," said Darren Mort, President of Bechtel’s Infrastructure business. "This significant expansion of Perth Airport will enhance passenger experience, create jobs, strengthen the economy, and benefit local communities." This project builds on Bechtel’s 80+ years of aviation experience, including active work on the Western Sydney Airport as Delivery Partner and Project Manager. For more than 71 years, #Bechtel has helped deliver infrastructure across Australia—from Sydney Metro West to Pluto Train 2 and Curtis Island LNG. We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Australia’s future. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eKD7KEB4 📽️ See what’s ahead for Perth Airport: 👇
