Job Summary:

Joining Bechtel Enterprises (BEn), Bechtel’s project development, finance and investment group, as Senior Manager, Project Finance & Economics for Asia Pacific is an opportunity to be the in-region owner of financial modelling and project economics for a small team that supports Bechtel’s businesses across the region and is building a development business in Australia. We are looking for an experienced practitioner who personally builds, owns and explains techno-economic and project finance models, and who is comfortable working with engineers, estimators and commercial teams to turn technical inputs into investment cases that senior leaders, customers,



partners and lenders can rely on.

The role has two complementary parts: development and transaction modelling for the power and data centre opportunities BEn APAC is pursuing in Australia; and project economics and financing analysis for Bechtel’s Mining & Metals business and other business units in Australia and, through BEn’s global Mining & Metals coordination role, in other regions. The successful candidate will also help establish the models, templates and market assumptions the business will use as its development activity grows.

This is a senior practitioner role. The successful candidate will build and review models personally, challenge assumptions constructively, work to BEn Financing Services standards and explain what the analysis means for project design, commercial terms, capital structure and investment decisions. The position reports to the Managing Director, Bechtel Enterprises Asia Pacific, and works closely with the Development Director and BEn Financing Services.

Major Responsibilities:

Project Economics for Mining & Metals and Bechtel Business Units:

- Build and own order-of-magnitude to feasibility-level project economics models for customer studies and Bechtel pursuits, integrating capital cost, operating cost, production schedule, revenue and commodity price inputs from Bechtel’s technical teams into transparent NPV, IRR,



payback and cost-driver outputs.
- Design models that study teams can use directly to test design, scope and execution choices (for example capital intensity, cost levers, reliability and maintenance assumptions, phasing and contracting models) and see the effect on project returns.
- Analyse contracting models, EPC target cost and value engineering options, third-party infrastructure and capital recovery structures for mining and metals customers.
- Support BEn’s global Mining & Metals coordination role with analysis for pursuits in other regions, including the Middle East, Africa and South America, in coordination with BEn Financing Services.
- Prepare clear, well-sourced analysis for use by Bechtel business units and their customers, working within BEn's internal review and approval processes.

Development And Transaction Modelling:

- Build, maintain and review project finance and techno-economic models for power, data centre and related infrastructure development opportunities, including capital and operating costs, construction and ramp-up schedules, fuel and power pricing, and revenue and offtake arrangements.
- Model power cost and supply scenarios (gas-fired, firmed renewables, storage, behind-the-meter and grid-connected configurations) and data centre revenue structures, and quantify the economic consequences of design, phasing, offtake and financing choices.
- Model development budgets, development expenditure, partner contributions, carried interests and BEn's development returns and exit value, and analyse term sheets, offtake, energy supply, equipment, EPC and shareholder arrangements.
- Work directly with the Development Director, engineering, es
