Hi Yash, being a graduate we don't expect too much experience, we understand that you've been busy with your study. We do however look for internships/vacation work that you have been involved in. You would still qualify as a graduate with 2 years experience. We look for a number of things including your ability to work in teams, communication, initiative, and leadership. We ask you for past experiences to demonstrate you have these attributes.

Hi Adam

I have always found the hoover dam project very interesting and know that Bechtel were involved with that. Is it a good idea to know about some of the projects that Bechtel have been involved in if I were to have an interview? Can you give me some examples of other global projects that I could look at?

Thanks!

Hi d.gallagher, really good question! Research is one of the most important aspects of interview preparation, particularly past projects we have been involved in. To name a few, Bechtel constructed the Channel Tunnel, Fjardaal Aluminium Smelter and the Hong Kong International airport. If you visit www.bechtel.com you can see our signature projects.

Hi Adam,
I'm studying civil engineering and currently in my final year. I don't have any relevant work experience say vacation work or internship but I do have three years of experience in retail. Will not having relevant work experience is a great disadvantage in acquiring graduate position ??

Hi manusimar, it will be a disadvantage from the rest of the field as a lot of graduates do have work experience. Try to get some if you are able as this will increase your chances of being employed.
