Bechtel is the licensing, engineering, procurement, and construction partner on Terra Power’s Natrium team. Selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, Natrium is participating in a DOE initiative to re-establish U.S. leadership in nuclear energy that provides matching funding to industry to design and build an operational advanced reactor. Terra Power, a leading advanced generation technology company founded by former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, will be deploying its 345 MWe sodium fast reactor (SFR), called Natrium.

The Natrium plant features an advanced, cost-competitive reactor design that is safer, simpler, easier and less costly to construct, less expensive to operate, and able to provide energy that is competitive with fossil fuels. It also features an innovative molten salt energy storage system designed to be complementary to solar and wind power by evening out the peaks and valleys in production when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

With the reactor and energy storage output combined, the plant can produce more than 500 MWe of power.

Other Team Natrium partners include GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Energy Northwest, Pacifi Corp, and Duke Energy, along with support from a number of national laboratories and universities. This DOE Program has the potential to be the largest funding program for advanced nuclear power in U.S. history and will shape the future of nuclear energy for decades.

Serves as liaison at the project site between Project Procurement for reporting of undelivered materials, Field Procurement for stored materials, and Construction personnel for accurate reporting of materials required for work package installation. Coordinates with responsible groups that materials are provided in a timely manner and in sufficient quantity to support the completion of construction work. Ensures accurate distribution of materials to Construction and/or Sub-Contractor installation locations.

Implements planned inventory control mechanisms, assists in early identification of surplus or unneeded materials, and coordinates material availability in support of design revisions or rework.

Supervision Received

• Reports to and receives operational direction from the Materials Manager, Field Procurement Manager or Materials Coordination Supervisor if assigned.

Contacts

• Maintains direct working relationship with Project Procurement, Field Project Controls, discipline Field Engineers, Field Procurement, Automation Support, Construction Superintendents, (Sub) Contractors, and site Customer personnel to ensure that Construction personnel are provided with materials to support the completion of construction work. #LI-SF1

• Implements Materials Management Plan with respect to applicable commodity groups, within area of responsibility.
• Ensures adherence to the Material Responsibility Matrix by all responsible parties.
• Utilizes the materials components of the project Automation Plan (used by functional groups) to monitor related data transfers between the functional groups.
• Implements the planned construction activities and work packaging structure on the project through coordination with Field Engineering, Construction, and/or (Sub) Contractors, and Project Controls.
• Determines, with the functional groups, the best strategy for fabricated systems that provide the most overall value on the project.
• Implements planned inventory control mechanisms, such as min-max and bag-and-tag, and uses the Bechtel Procurement System (BPS) tools to ensure that construction material requirements are met.
• Identifies early on which surplus or unneeded materials should be returned to storage.
• Coordinates material availability in support of design revisions, rework, contingency or work-around plans.
• Participates in Construction and/or (Sub) Contractor planning meetings to be fully aware of changes in installation plans and priorities.
• Coordinates with warehouse personnel for materials to be issued direct to the installation area, as opposed to being controlled in…
