About This Job


COMPANY BACKGROUND

ExxonMobil Corporation is the world’s largest publicly held international energy company with operations on six continents. The Company’s segments include Upstream, Product Solutions, and Corporate. The Upstream business explores for and produces crude oil and natural gas. The Product Solutions business manufactures and sells petroleum products and petrochemicals. ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions is helping to accelerate the world’s path to net zero and building a compelling business initially focused on carbon capture and sequestration. With a $17 billion dollar investment in the business, Low Carbon Solutions is committed to reducing ExxonMobil’s emissions, while helping high-emitting and hard-to-decarbonize sectors (like steel, cement and manufacturing) reduce theirs. ExxonMobil is also an industry technology leader with $1 billion invested each year in research and development.

ExxonMobil’s role in the energy transition is to play to their strengths. Their core business has been supplying reliable, affordable energy at scale. They will continue doing that because there can be no disruption in the supplies of energy people need every day.

The energy industry plays a critical role in supporting economic growth and improving the quality of life for billions of people around the world. Over the next several decades, populations are projected to grow, and the middle class will continue to expand – dynamics that will further the demand for energy. Meeting this demand will require significant investment and new production in the energy sector. Increased demand for energy will also impact emission levels, which underscores the need to continue to pursue emission reduction efforts to mitigate the risks of climate change. ExxonMobil is helping address this dual challenge in a variety of ways through researching and developing next-generation technologies, developing products that help customers reduce their emissions, improving energy efficiency and advancing public policy solutions.

Worldwide, ExxonMobil markets products under four brands: Esso, Exxon, Mobil, and ExxonMobil Chemical.

GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE

Baytown, TX: With a population of more than 77,000, Baytown, Texas, is located in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, just east of Houston, the nation's fourth largest city. Those who live and work in Baytown will find an area rich in history, as well as opportunities for outdoor activities due to its proximity to scenic waterways, namely Galveston Bay, the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou.

Founded in 1919, ExxonMobil's Baytown Complex is located on approximately 3,400 acres along the Houston Ship Channel, about 25 miles east of Houston. Employing a workforce of more than 8,500, it is comprised of four manufacturing sites, including one in nearby Mont Belvieu, and a global technology center. These include the Baytown Refinery, one of the largest refineries in the United States, and the Baytown Olefins Plant, one of the largest ethylene plants in the world.

Its scope of products includes fuels, lube oils, and chemical compounds used in a diverse range of products, from auto battery cases, diapers and tire inner tubes to pharmaceutical uses, food packaging, trash bags and more.

The Baytown area sites are highly integrated, which makes the plants and products more efficient as we develop technologies to make cleaner fuels and work together to operate more safely and reliably.
