Job Summary

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. The project is located in the high desert and wide-open spaces of north-central Nevada about 25 miles from the Oregon border, 1 hour northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada and 3 hours northeast of Reno. Planned with sustainability and the environment in mind, the facility will use its excess process heat to generate electricity and will recycle process water up to seven times. Once the second phase of the project is complete, Thacker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.

In this role, you will lead, implement, and maintain global construction field welding programs and provide specialized welding engineering support. You will manage, inspect, and monitor the welding test lab, the rod room, the weld heat treatment program, and the laboratory quality plan. Your technical advice will help ensure defects, behaviors, and other issues are rectified prior to final inspection.

• Maintain a working knowledge of corporate welding procedures and standards.
• Coordinate and support project NDE activities.
• Manage interfaces and coordination among Field Welding, Unit Supervisors, and the NDE subcontractor to support craft personnel in meeting quality requirements while maintaining project cost and schedule.
• Verify materials, workmanship, and compliance with applicable specifications and code requirements.
• Maintain knowledge of applicable industry standards, including ASME and AWS requirements.

Required Skills
