Project Overview:

Bechtel is the licensing, engineering, procurement, and construction partner on TerraPower’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. TerraPower, 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, PacifiCorp, and Duke Energy, along with support from several 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.

Job Summary:

Workface planning (WFP) is an essential resource within the Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) construction organization. Workface planning is the creation of Installation Work Packages (IWPs) which are small, well-defined work packages that describe a specific scope of work for a crew.

The Workface Planner will convert Construction Work Packages (CWPs) into IWPs for all project commodities. They will ensure all necessary drawings, deliverables, engineered data, and resources are available, and constraints are removed before releasing digital IWPs to the field construction team.

The Workface Planner will interface with Bechtel field engineering, planners, and supervision to facilitate IWP scoping in Teamworks and P6 L4 schedule development. Providing timely updates to Area Field Engineer's and Supervision as to IWP scope, status, and schedule.

Work includes field inspections and the physical ability to conduct field inspections which require the following activities: extensive walking in and around a construction site, climbing ladders, climbing scaffolding, working on elevated platforms, working on uneven surfaces, and working in small or confined spaces. Some lifting may be required. Must have the ability to walk into and out of the project (enter/egress). Must be able to use appropriate standard issued Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) required for each assigned task (i.e., harness, life vest, lift buckets, etc.). #LI-CL1 

Major Responsibilities:

• Supports preparation and development of IWPs in close coordination with Field Engineers, Superintendents, and other project personnel.
• Reviews work scope, checking sequencing, access, resources, equipment needs, pre-work, materials and support services.
• Develops and assembles detailed IWPs as per the project guidelines and procedures, which includes, compiling installation drawings, installation details, model snapshots, vendor drawings, inspection test records, or any other documents or engineering deliverables associated with the IWPs.
• Prepares scoping sketches, material takeoffs, and required construction engineering deliverables.
• Verifies completeness of engineering drawings, installation details, engineering data, vendor information and vendor data, ensuing all engineering and vendor information and data is available for successful construction of assigned IWPs. 
• Monitors quality of IWPs ensuring scoping and preparation of IWPs is done right the first time.
• Monitors project schedule and ensures performance and timely delivery of IWPs; coordinate with Project Controls team, planners, other stakeholder of the project and ensure IWPs are issued as per the project priorities.
• Facilitates the identification and removal of constraints.
• Participating in 3D model reviews to ensure construction installation requirements are preserved during design development.
• Coordinating with procurement to identify IWP material delivery status in the Bechtel Supply Chain System.
• Coordinate with design engineering for design complete with respect to construction schedule. Maintaining IWP input in Teamworks, and other tools, and updating as design is completed and revised.
• Working with the Turnover Coordinator to track IWP's and inspection records to completion.
• Developing status reports using project databases spanning multiple Bechtel Standard Applications (BSAP's).
