ConocoPhillips is an international Fortune 500 company and one of the largest integrated companies in

the United States, with 12 operating refineries throughout the nation that convert crude oil into gasoline,

jet fuel, diesel, heating oil and chemical feedstocks. To fulfill our commitment to safe, reliable, and

environmentally responsible operations, we have immediate opportunities in the Operations and Technical

Services Department at our refinery in Belle Chasse, LA, located south of New Orleans. ConocoPhillips

Alliance Refinery is dedicated to employing the finest candidates. We are seeking to hire Process

Engineers and people with other engineering degrees. Prospective candidates must have a valid driver’s

license and have legal status to work in the U.S. A birth certificate must be available. All candidates are

required to submit and successfully pass a pre-employment drug screen and background security check.

Process Engineers provide process technical expertise and services focused on technical support for

Operations- troubleshooting, monitoring, and optimization to achieve optimum unit performance while

maintaining and complying with safety and environmental standards. They are also responsible for

process engineering design and support for project development activities within the Process Engineering

Department. This position interfaces with all departments throughout the refinery including operations,

maintenance, and planning and tech services. This position generally resides within the technical servic-

es department.

Process Control Engineers specialize in the application of control technology to meet and improve

process control targets and utilization. They actively contribute to process control projects, which are

strategic to the refinery, resulting in a positive impact on the business’ bottom line. Candidates must have

a demonstrated ability to understand, document, explain and transfer technical knowledge of control

solutions for the support of MVPC controls and optimization. They contribute by bringing working knowl-

edge and examples of what is possible from all segments of process control (process, instrumentation,

and communications and controls technology). The selected candidate will be the central focal point for

the day-to-day monitoring of process control schemes in the assigned area.

These positions also require that the successful candidate occasionally work outdoors in all kinds of

weather; climb stairs (internal and external to heights); work safely from stationary and extension ladders

to various heights; and work in a team based environment. The foregoing job requirements are not all

inclusive and may be changed based upon business needs.

ConocoPhillips offers a competitive salary and benefits package. Qualified individuals interested in this

excellent opportunity with a world-class company at a growing location should visit the ConocoPhillips

website at www.ConocoPhillips.com in order to complete an information record. From the website
