For starters with an engineering background (university degree) there are different options to start a career within ExxonMobil.

One of the standard starting position is 'Process Engineer' at one of the sites. The manufacturing sites are subdivided into units. A starting engineer can become the “technical” owner of such a unit. He/she then has the responsibility to solve problems in close collaboration with the operators.

It is also his/her job to ensure the proper operation of the manufacturing unit and to strive for optimal efficiency, cost effectiveness and operational safety.  A next step may be the technical ownership of another process unit, a “coordinating” position  e.g. checking and managing energy consumption in the entire manufacturing site or a commercial/business role.
