Job description

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 lowercarbon 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, Louisiama
• Covington, Louisiana
• El Segundo, California
• Geismar, Louisiana
• Greeley, Colorado
• Houston, Texas
• Midland, Texas
• Pasadena, Texas
• Pascagoula, Mississippi
• Richmond, California
• Salt Lake City, Utah

Mechanical Engineering interns will be assigned a mechanical 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 graduateswill 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, 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.

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.

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 fulltime role after graduation.

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.
  • 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/
