Not long after formation, Pacific Coast Oil became Standard Oil of California. After a 1984 merger with Gulf Oil, at the time the largest merger in history, the company took the name Chevron. This merger was followed by the acquisition in 2001 of Texaco and in 2005 Chevron merged with Unocal. In 2009, Chevron increased its production to 2.7 million barrels of oil per day. Today Chevron is engaged in the oil, natural gas, geothermal and biofuels industries.
Chevron employs some 67,000 people world wide in job categories spanning a wide spectrum of opportunities. It's easy to think of oil company jobs as being limited to working on a derrick but Chevron employs thousands of people in fields as diverse as chemistry, legal, marketing, governmental affairs, and the whole gamut of administrative jobs. Their website includes hundreds of personal testimonies from employees in every field. Consider this statement from an employee involved in transportation ''Yet despite its size, Chevron is not rigid and inflexible. When I collaborate with my colleagues and develop new ideas or propose amendments, I feel confident that there's always an opportunity to change the system for the better.'' Chevron offers a comprehensive benefits package to its employees. Benefits for domestic workers included medical and dental plans, incentive based bonuses, domestic partner benefits (including benefits for same sex partners), and retirement plans.
Hound currently lists 92 jobs with Chevron. Most of these jobs are domestic, and there are listings in multiple states including California, Texas and Louisiana, but Chevron also lists jobs as far away as Australia and Angola. In addition to the jobs from Chevron, Hound currently lists over six hundred thousand jobs culled from employer web pages.
