Featured Employer: Occidental Oil & Gas

Oxy is a dynamic, fast-paced company continually striving to be one of the best in the business. To illustrate our drive and commitment to excellence, in less than forty years Occidental grew from a small California drilling company to one of the largest oil and gas producers in the U.S. and the world's 10th largest publicly traded oil and gas company based upon reserves and production.

Since our extraordinary Libyan discovery in 1966, Occidental has conducted exploration studies in 60 countries and drilled exploratory wells in 30. Our discovery of more than 12 billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent is an enviable exploration achievement. No other comparably sized oil company has equaled our success record.

Both our oil and gas and chemicals segments have been recognized for outstanding safety records. Protecting the environment and our employees has always been - and always will be - one of Occidental's highest priorities.

The secret of this success? People, plain and simple. Our business thrives on the contributions of all employees -- from our team of engineers and geoscientists in Latin America recognizing a trend line holding clues to billions of barrels of previously undiscovered crude oil to our drilling engineers in Texas seeking ways to increase drilling efficiency. Our open management style provides a platform for our creative scientists to present ideas directly without going through layers of bureaucracy and regional assessments.

Who do we look for? Maybe a bit of the maverick, the person with the creative spark who wants to make a difference; the person who wants to take charge of his or her own career and achieve the highest level of excellence based on abilities alone. We want excellent employees and we understand what it takes to make that happen. If you think you have what it takes - we want to talk to you.
