Project Overview:
Thacker Pass is the largest known lithium resource in the United States and the next large-scale lithium mine. The project has all permits required to commence construction, which started in 2023. Engineering design and procurement of long-lead equipment is underway, with early works being coordinated.
This project falls under the Lithium Americas umbrella of Lithium Nevada Corporation (LNC). Project site is located ~3 hours northeast of Reno at the southern end of the McDermitt Caldera in Humboldt County, NV, and ~25 miles from the Nevada-Oregon border (or ~1 hour northwest of Winnemucca, NV).
The Project will be developed as an open-pit mining operation using conventional, continuous mining equipment. Given the soft, clay nature of the deposit, minimal blasting and crushing is anticipated. The ore will then be processed in a leaching circuit using sulfuric acid to liberate the lithium from the claystone. Following the leaching process, the lithium bearing solution will be purified using crystallizers and reagents to produce battery-quality Li2CO3.
The Thacker Pass site has a flat and expansive terrain which allows for a very compact footprint and for future potential expansions.
Bechtel will have responsibility for the full EPC/EPCM scope.
Job Summary:
Bechtel is seeking a Project Controls Manager (PCM) with strength in Planning/Scheduling, Cost, Change Management, and Reporting. This position reports to the Project Business Services Manager and will directly supervise the Lead Cost/ Change Management and their staff in Houston, as well as the Lead Planning/Scheduling and their staff in Houston. In addition, this role will be required to help facilitate all aspects of Project Controls on the Thacker Pass Project. Once FID is achieved and the Construction team is ready to mobilize to Nevada, this position will remain in Houston to oversee the Project Controls team supporting the Engineering and Supply Chain efforts, as well as overall Project Controls integration for the Project across the locations in India and Nevada.
The PCM is responsible for helping with the overall planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the integrated project schedule, change management, cost control, and supporting information. The PCM will lead the efforts in converting the estimate to budgets and uploading the PC tools (including Ecosys), helping to drive the setup of progress measurement tools (EPPR, PVS and QURR), and ensuring an effective Change Management program (Trend Program) is in place. In addition, the PCM will have responsibility for the PFSR. Estimating, Risk Management, Finance, and Services will report directly to the Business Services Manager; however, the PCM might be required to support when necessary.
The position may be required to travel to other project office locations (e.g., Site in Nevada). #LI-NP1
