Job description

Project Overview

Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States. Once complete, the mine and processing facilities will produce more lithium carbonate than any other facility in the United States by far – enough to power 1 million electric vehicles per year. As the EPCM contractor for Lithium Americas, Bechtel is responsible for managing and integrating the efforts of a team of contractors engineering and building the facility, and for procuring approximately $1 billion in goods and services. Earth work began in 2023 and design and procurement of long‑lead equipment is underway. The project is located in the high‑desert, wide‑open spaces of north‑central Nevada, about 25 miles from the Oregon border, 1 hour northwest of Winnemucca and 3 hours northeast of Reno. Planned with sustainability and the environment in mind, the facility will use excess process heat to generate electricity and recycle process water up to seven times. Once the second phase is complete, Thacker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.

• Ability to supervise and coordinate warehouse personnel, set priorities, and ensure compliance with project procedures and standards.
• Strong organizational, problem‑solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work with minimal supervision and make sound decisions in a fast‑paced environment.
