Relocation & Visa

Relocation may be considered. Chevron is unable to sponsor employment Visas or consider individuals on time‑limited Visa status for this position. This position 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 not U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, temporary resident aliens, applicants for temporary resident status, refugees, or asylees; and who are also current citizens or permanent residents of a country subject to comprehensive trade sanctions under U.S. export control law. 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.
