Job description

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.

What You’ll Actually Do

Chevron is hiring at 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 Engineering interns

Process Engineering interns will be assigned a process engineering mentor and will be assigned one or more projects during their internship to support operating facilities 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.

At the completion of the internship, interns will have the opportunity to apply for a return internship or full‑time position with Chevron. If accepted for a full‑time entry level position, engineering graduates 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.

Process Engineers have the opportunity to advance throughout their career as individual contributors or as engineering supervisors and managers. Opportunities also exist for engineers to work in and lead other business functions such as Operations or Business Development & Commercial.

Why Intern at Chevron?

• You work on real projects, not side tasks
• You use modern tools and cloud platforms
• You learn how software scales in a global enterprise
• You build skills that translate anywhere
• You’re supported by experienced engineers and mentors

What’s Next After the Internship

Top performing interns may be invited back—or offered a full‑time role after graduation.

New grads who join Chevron full‑time enter the Horizons Program, a structured early‑career experience that includes:

• Formal training + on‑the‑job learning
• Mentorship from experienced professionals
• Multiple job assignments and possible location rotations

You can build a career as a technical expert, people leader, or both.

Required qualifications

The following are required qualifications:

• Students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering.
• Strong academic performance in core programs, communication, leadership, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to demonstrate The Chevron Way.

Compensation & Benefits

The anticipated monthly (hourly) range for this position is $29.95 hourly - $8,800 monthly. The selected candidate’s monthly or hourly compensation will be determined based on their selected role, degree level and academic year.

As an intern, you will receive the following benefits:

• Furnished housing.
• Participation in Employee Savings Investment Plan with immediate vesting in both employee and company contributions.
• Chevron matching contributions:
  • 4% company match for a 1% employee contribution.
  • 8% company match for a 2% employee contribution.
• Work schedules:
  • Flexible work schedules (5/40, 9/80, or 4/10), as determined by the work group and confirmed with the hiring manager.
  • Paid holidays depending on your work schedule.
• Full year of service credit for each internship completion (must be re-employed within 365 days)
• If later converted to a fulltime new graduate position, Chevron offers competitive pay and benefits to eligible employees, including healthcare, time off, retirement plans, and development opportunities. Learn more at http://hr2.chevron.com/

Relocation may be considered.

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.
