If you're ready to play a pivotal role in delivering complex field service events, this opportunity is built for you.

Join Our Baker Hughes – Major Projects Operations Team

Our Major Projects organization supports some of the most complex and high‑stakes field service events across our global customer base—major outages, multi‑unit shutdowns, LTSA planned events, installation and commissioning scopes, and warranty claims.
