Chile is one of BHP's biggest mining operations. A few yrs back they built a 4000 bed camp up in the mountains to build 1 mine.
An average camp in Oz is around 700 beds.

I'm 100% positive that I'd add to the share price by saving them money.
The position was a very Snr mgmt spot in the Project Estimating area.
I'm currently in a Snr postion in Estimating for a US Engineering company. (in Brissy)
Many Engineering firms have Engineers doing their propsals. Most of whom have never set foot outside the office or even SEEN a consruction site. That's why they get it soooo wrong & lose money.
(I'm not an Engineer, Never been to Uni)

Where I am now I regularly work on project proposals with a project value of between US$1b & US$10b
Also do plenty that are only a few hunded million as well.
