Employeesw­ork to create the future of energy at home and around theworld

- Range of openings In growth mode Satisfying careers

Chevron is hiring experience­d drilling and completion­s engineers, drill- site managers, wellsite managers, facilities engineers, petroleum engineers and earth scientists for major energy projects it is developing around the world.

“A Chevron career is not just a job,” said Paul Vita, manager of Upstream Technical Hiring and Competency at Chevron.

“It’s an opportunit­y to create the future of energy.”

With projects that push the frontiers of technology and operationa­l excellence, Chevron attracts the industry’s best and brightest.

Hiring managers from Chevron will discuss career opportunit­ies at the 2012 Offshore Technology Conference, April 30- May 3, at Houston’s Reliant Center.

Chevron has positions open in California, Colorado, Louisiana, Newmexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvan­ia, Texas, Wyoming, and in locations around the world.

Joining Chevron means being part of a company that, in many ways, sets the industry standard.

“We have a strong record of delivering results,” said Chairman and CEO Johnwatson.

“We lead our peer group in safety, earnings per share growth and total stockholde­r return, among other measures.”

In 2011, Chevron had record earnings and cash flow. Its safety performanc­e was world- class.

Its reserves replacemen­t reached 171 percent, and the company expects to grow its crude oil and natural gas production by more than 20 percent by 2017. Watson said, “We are staged to deliver growth through this decade and beyond.”

On any given day, more than 250,000 Chevron employees and contractor­s are at work on projects around the world, including developmen­ts in Angola, Australia, Brazil, China, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and the United States. Chevron’s workforce is united by a common set of values, and a mission to deliver safe, affordable, abundant energy to the world.

“Chevron’s workplace culture is the best of any company in the oilfield,” said Dwight Alworth, a fourth generation oil field worker who consulted for more than a dozen oil- and- gas related companies before joining Chevron in 2000.

“Chevron is widely recognized for developing leaders,” he said, “and I wanted to be part of that.”

Alworth is on his way. By the end of his fifth year with Chevron, the Texasborn engineer completed a stint as a senior drilling engineer in Kazakhstan, he said “managing a $ 50 million project on one of our most important assets.”

Since then, Alworth has served in two other assignment­s and last year was promoted to manager of field safety inmidland, Texas.

Employees have the twin satisfacti­ons of working on projects that will produce energy for decades to come, and knowing their work makes a difference. Cotey Cswaykus, facilities engineer in his fourth assignment after nearly seven years with Chevron, said managers encourage him to use ingenuity to solve problems.

“I see tangible results frommy efforts and that ofmy team,” he said. “We are making a difference.”

Cari Armprieste­r, engineer hired in 1998 and working on optimizing Chevron’s steam operations, calls her project exciting and rewarding.

“I have peers in other companies who are envious of the influence I have onmy own career path, and the attention I get frommy supervisor and organizati­on to makemy goals a reality.”

Chevron is headquarte­red in San Ramon, Calif., and offers a competitiv­e salary and benefits package along with a company- matched 401( k) savings plan.
