Career Development

Entry‑level Process Engineers will be enrolled in Chevron’s Horizons Program, an early‑career development program combining formal training, on‑the‑job competency development, mentoring, and multiple job assignments.

Process Engineers will be enrolled in a Process Engineering development track to develop a core technical foundation to draw upon throughout their career. Engineers in this track will develop competencies to design and optimize systems for separation, purification, transformation, transportation and disposition of hydrocarbons, water and various other process streams by physical and chemical means.

Horizons engineers typically complete the development program in their first five years of employment and may have the opportunity to work in multiple work locations during that time.

After graduating from Horizons, process engineers may continue to work in roles aligned with their initial Horizons track, or they may choose to focus on other areas of interest, including the following specialties:

• Reliability & Integrity Engineering – focused on asset integrity, reliability, maintainability, and operability of operating assets.
• Technical Safety Engineering – identify hazards, assess risk, and develop mitigation strategies through application of engineering design principles to a managed level of risk for operating facilities and capital projects.
• Engineering Design & Projects – deliver high quality designs and predictable execution of projects through the development and application of sound engineering and design principles and processes.
• General Facilities Engineering – support operating facilities through application of broad fundamental technical engineering knowledge and small project execution skills.

Qualifications

• Students completing the last year of the requirements for their bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering; or individuals with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering with two years or less directly related work experience.
• Strong academic performance in core programs, communication, leadership, teamwork and problem‑solving skills.
• Position may require driving on a routine basis.
• Ability to demonstrate The Chevron Way.

Compensation & Benefits

The anticipated salary range for this position is $108,000 - $136,300. The selected candidate’s compensation will be determined based on their respective degree level and discipline.

Chevron offers competitive compensation and benefits programs which include, but are not limited to, variable pay, health care coverage, retirement plan, protection coverage, time off and leave programs, training and development opportunities and a range of allowances connected to specific work situations.
