## Job Summary:

Does the intersection of AI, robotics, and the future of engineering and construction excite you? Are you a strategic communicator who can see the bigger picture, find the stories that matter, and turn complex innovations into compelling narratives? Do you thrive working alongside senior leaders to shape how an organization communicates its most important priorities?

Bechtel is looking for a Manager of EPC Transformation Communications to lead the communications and engagement strategy for one of the company's most important transformation efforts. This is an opportunity to help shape how Bechtel tells the story of its future, as AI, automation, robotics, and emerging technologies transform the way we engineer, procure, and build.

In this role, you'll serve as a trusted communications advisor to senior EPC Transformation leaders, setting the strategic direction for how we communicate progress, demonstrate impact, and build understanding across the enterprise and beyond.
