Reliability engineering is exactly what we should be offshoring to India. Ask Boeing how that worked out.
One issue is CVX hiring all sorts of people and labelling them engineers when they are not true discipline educated engineers like ME, Chem E, EE, Civil, etc. If you have one of those degrees, valid experience and hopefully a PE you can get a job fairly easily. Pet. E., not so much. Not sure that's very popular anymore but if you have professional experience it's always easier to get rehired, even in another field.

@nbr, There are many many more, a literal vast array of "non -engineering" do-nothing roles that are fluff than anyone would ever believe who are on the payroll. It's literally staggering, the number of non-engineering fluff positions filled with stuffed shirts. You would think that they would have run out of shirts by now there are so many. But do go on.
Well the jobs have been advertised on the Chevron website for months so no surprise there
I work for Oronite. I heard the same process design and finance are to be cut.

Especially engineering management, pure expensive fluff.
I’m surprised to learn any design goes on at all. From what I’ve seen it’s all consultants
No surprise. Lots of "engineering" roles in the company have been fluff or non-productive the last decade.
