Paul Marsden, head of Bechtel Corp’s Energy global business unit, said industry, labour and education must work together to provide the training and workers to staff all the projects
A coming wave of North American liquefied natural gas export projects faces staffing challenges that are prompting some of the biggest developers to expand training and co-ordinate projects to keep construction workers.
“Labour has grown as an inflationary concern for everyone in the industry. We need to actively forecast and manage labour availability and supply chain like never before,” Marsden said in an interview via e-mail last week. Bechtel is developing projects with some 27 MTPA of new capacity, including Sempra’s Port Arthur LNG project and an expansion at Cheniere Energy’s Corpus Christi plant, with an additional 29 MTPA waiting for formal approvals to move ahead.
Cheniere preordered material for its newer Corpus Christi project to avoid inflation, said Chief Operating Officer Corey Grindal. LNG Canada, located in Kitimat in a remote corner of British Columbia, invested more than C$5-million in training including at local colleges, the company said. “We had more than 10,000 people at a time in different yards in China, and that just would not be possible in Kitimat,” Klein said.
