The rapid growth of AI and digitalization is fueling unprecedented demand for data centers that require large, reliable sources of energy. In response to this market trend, the Renewables & Clean Power (R&CP) team has signed an early works contract to build one of the largest gas fired power generation facilities in the U.S. Our team is helping the customer progress early-stage development, that would lead to the start of full EPC delivery next year.

Bechtel Infrastructure's Renewables & Clean Power business line is seeking qualified professionals for forthcoming combined cycle power plant projects planned in Wyoming. The project teams will be initially based in Reston, VA or Houston, TX; following contract award, selected candidates will relocate to designated project sites.
