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 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

Mechanical 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 Mechanical 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. Mechanical Engineers will be enrolled in a Mechanical Systems development track to develop a core technical foundation to draw upon throughout their career. Engineers in this track will develop competencies to design, analyze, and optimize fixed and rotating equipment such as piping & valve systems, heaters and heat exchangers, pressure vessels, tanks, pumps, and other rotating equipment.

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, mechanical 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.
• Subsea Engineering – focused on design, construction, integration, testing, and installation of subsea equipment, controls, umbilicals, and pipelines; also includes engineering for well intervention, production optimization, and reliability of the subsea system.
• 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.

Mechanical 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.

What You Must Have

The following are required qualifications:

• Students completing the last year of the requirements for their bachelors or masters degree in mechanical engineering; or, individuals with a bachelors or masters degree in mechanical 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.

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.
