Be ready to walk a real site problem: how you closed an RFI, resolved a field clash, or led a crew/engineers under schedule pressure. Expect safety culture, quality hold points, and Bechtel-scale EPC interfaces (owner, vendors, craft). Tie leadership examples to Cheyenne on-site constraints—weather, logistics, remote-from-HQ decision making.
Strong fit if you want hands-on EPC field leadership at a major constructor, not a desk-only design job. Thin public employee-review data in this packet; weigh travel/site life and Wyoming base carefully. Software certs in DATA are optional, not core credentials for this title.
