Chevron is accepting online applications for the position of Earth Science New Grad (full-time) located in Calgary, Alberta until Sunday, September 17, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

This New Grad opportunity has a targeted start date of January or May 2024.

Earth Scientists within Chevron are part of multi-disciplinary teams which vary in make-up but can include geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, engineers, data scientists, and/or software developers. Earth Scientists develop technical skills in geoscience, geophysics, and petrophysics assignments focused on exploration, development, reservoir & seal characterization, and well operations. In addition, there is a focus on building capabilities in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), geothermal, and hydrogen.

Entry-level Earth Scientists are assigned to positions and projects that contribute value to Chevron based on degree, relevant academic preparation, previous work experience, and career objectives. They will be provided guidance by a supervisor and a technical mentor.

For recent graduates, Chevron has a competency-based employee development program that typically includes two to three technical assignments in the first 5 years of their career. This is supported by comprehensive technical training and mentoring combined with on-the-job experience.

As an Earth Scientist, you could begin your career in Chevron’s Canada’s domestic upstream operations supporting the Kaybob Duvernay unconventional asset, Athabasca oilsands asset, Atlantic Canada asset, or exploration team. Spend your first 5-10 years in a combination of exploration, appraisal, asset development, and/or technology assignments. You will be asked to solve challenging problems with the opportunity to utilize cutting edge digital technologies and techniques. Opportunities to transfer to overseas locations may become possible after ten or more years of experience. Other opportunities for Earth Scientists include well-site operations, reservoir modeling, portfolio management, subsurface data science, technology deployment, technical team leadership, and various technical specialty focused positions such as stratigrapher, structural geologist, geophysicist, petrophysicist, basin analyst, and earth modeler.
