Project Accounting Supervisor

Relocation authorized: National - Family. This is a part-time telework position requiring at least three days of in-person attendance per week at the assigned office or project in Thacker Pass, NV.

About the Project

Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States. Once complete, the mine and processing facilities will produce more lithium carbonate than any other facility in the United States—enough to power 1 million electric vehicles per year. As the EPCM contractor for Lithium Americas, Bechtel is responsible for managing and integrating the efforts of a team of contractors engineering and building the facility, as well as managing procurement of about $1 billion in goods and services.

The project is located in the high desert of north-central Nevada, about 25 miles from the Oregon border, 1 hour northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada, and 3 hours northeast of Reno. Designed with sustainability and the environment in mind, the facility will use excess process heat to generate electricity and will recycle process water up to seven times. Upon completion of the second phase, Thacker Pass will produce more than 16 times the current U.S. output of lithium.
