Who We Are. Chevron is one of the world’s leading energy companies—but what really sets us apart is how we’re rethinking energy for the future. From producing oil and gas to developing lower‑carbon technologies, Chevron engineers work across the full energy system to power everyday life more safely, efficiently, and responsibly. Learn more about What We Do and The Chevron Way.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Chevron operates around the globe and across the entire energy value chain. Learn more on our website Chevron.com.

What You’ll Actually Do

Chevron is hiring various operating locations across the U.S., including:

• Ames, Iowa
• Bakersfield, California
• Belle Chasse, Louisiana
• Covington, Louisiana
• El Segundo, California
• Geismar, Louisiana
• Greeley, Colorado
• Houston, Texas
• Midland, Texas
• Pasadena, Texas
• Pascagoula, Mississippi
• Richmond, California
• Salt Lake City, Utah

Process Engineers support operating facilities and projects through the application of technical engineering knowledge and project management skills. These areas of support may include:

• Optimizing facilities to deliver maximum value safely and reliably.
• Providing technical engineering support for turnarounds and projects.
• Developing and/or deploying industry leading technologies to reduce carbon, increase efficiency and maximize returns.
• Using digitalization and data analytics to improve process operations and safety.

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:

• 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.

What You Must Have

The following are required 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 $111,000- $136,000 annually. The selected candidate’s compensation will be determined based on their respective degree level and discipline.

International Considerations

Chevron regrets that it is unable to sponsor employment Visas or consider individuals on time-limited Visa status for this position.

These positions may involve TP& E technologies that are subject to U.S. export controls and trade sanctions. These export control laws apply to individuals who are (a) not U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, temporary resident aliens, applicants for temporary resident status, refugees, or asylees; and who are also (b) current citizens or permanent residents of a country that is subject to comprehensive trade sanctions under U.S. export control law, http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Pages/default.aspx. As such, we regret that we would be unable to provide a meaningful internship experience at TP&E for you because under government regulations, TP&E would not be able to allow access to such technologies absent an authorization from the U.S. government. For this reason, TP&E is not considering applicants who are current citizens and/or permanent residents of countries subject to comprehensive U.S. trade sanctions.
