Any update for those that did skill test for Electrical Specialist position?

Have they been called for an interview?
Have Chevron cancelled their own recruitment?
Is there still hope they will call for interview?

I need to know please.

Reports so far have it that they have been called. Not personally seen the evidence for this though.

NoHatred:
Have mails dropped for rotating and reliability specialists?

NO EVIDENCE

Please, Is there any evidence that EGTL Planner has done test and interview?

You can ask Dragnet if they have conducted the test!

The thread should be closed if the process has ended!

This was the replied I got from dragnet when I ask them about the update for rotating equipment specialist skills interview shortlist


“Kindly note that the process is ongoing.

Candidates are contacted by the client regarding the next stage and all candidates will receive feedback at the end of the exercise.”

This shows that the job of Dragnet is to conduct tests and submit the results to the client to decide. Dragnet have no idea about the interview process!

exactly my thoughts too. Dragnet's role is to reduce the applicants and give the client the top guys. The client would take it from there

Petroleum Engineer

Olaolu2005:
Which post did you apply for?

I wrote the aptitude test...Have you guys done the skill test, please?

Ngsooyaa:

Ajamobe007:

### 🔵 **Chevron Shifts to Centralized Hubs to Cut Costs**

**Summary:**
Chevron Corp. is undergoing a major **corporate restructuring**, moving away from local/regional business units to a **centralized global model** aimed at improving efficiency, reducing layers of management, and cutting **\$2–\$3 billion in costs by 2026**.

---

### 🔹 **Key Highlights:**

* **Centralization Strategy:**

* Chevron is merging local and regional business units into centralized hubs.
* Example: One offshore division will now manage assets in **US Gulf, Nigeria, Angola, and Eastern Mediterranean**.
* Shale assets in **Texas, Colorado, and Argentina** will also be unified.

* **Support Services Relocation:**

* Finance, HR, and IT functions are being moved to **shared service centers in Manila and Buenos Aires**.
* **Engineering hubs** will be located in **Houston (USA)** and **Bengaluru (India)**.

* **Rationale:**

* According to **Vice Chairman Mark Nelson**, the goal is to:

* Simplify the structure
* Execute faster
* Apply “best practices” globally
* Drive technology use and standardization

* **Workforce Impact:**

* Part of a **global workforce reduction of up to 20% (approx. 9,000 jobs)** by end of 2026.
* Structural savings can potentially fund an entire quarterly dividend.
* Chevron hasn’t confirmed whether U.S. job cuts will result from shifting work to Asia/Latin America.

* **Industry Context:**

* Energy sector under pressure due to low oil prices and clean energy transition.
* Investors are demanding higher returns—through **dividends and share buybacks**.
* Chevron stock is up **5.8% YTD**, outperforming the broader **S\&P 500 Energy Index (3.1%)**.

---

### 🔹 **Operational Changes:**

* **New Leadership (Upstream Division):**

* **Clay Neff** – Head of Upstream
* **Andy Walz** – Head of Downstream, Midstream & Chemicals
* Divisions:

* **Shale/Tight** – Bruce Niemeyer
* **Offshore** – Brent Gros
* **Base & Emerging Assets** – Javier La Rosa
* **Exploration** – Liz Schwarze
* **Australia** – Balaji Krishnamurthy

* **Upstream Simplification:**

* Upstream business units reduced from **\~18–20 to 3–5**.
* Global drill rig scheduling to replace regional scheduling.

* **AI & Technology:**

* At El Segundo refinery (California), AI is used for **real-time optimization** of product mix and sales locations.
* Linear programs now run in **seconds** instead of a day.

---

### 🔹 **Quote from Mark Nelson:**

> “We have to always be more effective and look for new and better ways to work... Best practices are applied across the system, no matter the continent.

Good day everyone, please I have just one question.
Have they given anyone/ any team offer(s) ?
I am not referring to contract staff recruitment or interviews. I am referring to actual offers.
Please if you know let us know.
So I personally can move on 🙏.
Thank you

Did you receive background checks? The last update I am aware of is background checks for most positions, not sure anyone has done medicals. I may be wrong though.

Thanks for the response bro.
I did receive the background check to be honest, and that is why I am still perplexed as to why it is taking forever to progress or at least send a rejection mail.
I hate to be left hanging and this has been on for about 10 months now.
At least they should respect us enough to let us know if there is a hiring freeze

I am in a similar situation. We have no choice than to play the waiting game at this point. Whenever they are ready, they will provide an update.
