Process Engineering
As a Field Process Engineer at a Chevron Products Company refinery or Chevron Oronite chemical plant, your job is often as varied as our products. You might monitor product yields, catalyst life and process efficiencies. You could make recommendations that increase plant efficiency or yield. You could help define needs for inspection, cleaning and repair of equipment during plant shutdowns. Or, you might contribute ideas for redesigned processes to improve product quality, reduce operating costs or improve safety or the environment.
