An engineering contractor has won the primary tender for a $1 billion exotic metal project in the nation’s southwest.
Monadelphous Group recently secured the major construction contract for Albemarle Lithium’s Kemerton Lithium Hydroxide Plant about 17km north of Bunbury, Western Australia.
Monadelphous is tasked with delivering the pyromet structural, mechanical and piping package and associated piping fabrication for the lithium hydroxide plant.
Opportunities promised to locals
Construction is expected to begin imminently and end in early 2021. The contractor promises to support the local community through offering local supply opportunities and employment for 500 people during construction and a further 500 once operational.
Positions will be advertised on the Monadelphous careers website.
