The good bits: ExxonMobil is one of Singapore's largest foreign manufacturing investors with over S$25 billion in fixed assets investments.
We have been operating in Singapore for more than 125 years, expanding from trading kerosene to a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing and marketing presence today, with about 4,000 employees here.
Singapore serves as the Asia Pacific hub for our Downstream and Chemical businesses, and it is also home to ExxonMobil's largest integrated refining and petrochemical complex in the world.
We own and operate a 592,000-barrel-per-day (BPD) refinery, which is fully integrated with the Singapore Chemical Plant (SCP). Together, the refinery and chemical plant form ExxonMobil's largest integrated manufacturing site in the world.
The refinery manufactures a wide range of fuels, lubricant base stocks and specialty products, including low-sulphur diesel, to meet increasing demand in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region. It also provides advantaged feedstock to the chemical plant.
The world-scale petrochemical complex was built in 2001 and was further expanded to more than double its ethylene capacity in 2013. Today, the chemical plant's ethylene capacity stands at 1.9 million tonnes per year. The plant uses ExxonMobil's proprietary technologies to process a broad range of feedstock and convert them into higher-value products that are then sold to customers around the world.

Our application questions and job descriptions are designed to help us identify individuals who have the basic qualifications for our job postings.

If you are selected for an interview, we may contact you to provide more information through our careers site.

For some positions, a preliminary assessment is required. This may include language, mechanical, technical, and analytical aptitude assessments, depending on position and location. If an assessment is required, you’ll be contacted by email after the initial resume screen. The email will include the details and next steps for completing the assessment.
The interview will allow you to meet our recruiting teams and learn more about our company as we get to know you better. Our recruiting team will contact you (either by email or by phone) to communicate the specifics of your interview(s).

The details will include the location, how to access our secured sites, what to wear and the format of the interviews. You’ll know what to expect in advance.
You may participate in multiple interviews as part of the process. Here are a few of the most common:
1. Preliminary phone or Skype interview
For many positions, we will first contact you by phone to gauge your interest and get a better sense of your qualifications. In some cases, we will also include a Skype interview. If your preliminary interview goes well, we typically invite you to an in-person interview.
2. On-campus interviews
Our recruiting teams visit college and university campuses to find students who are interested in co-ops, internships, apprenticeships and permanent positions. Students interviewed at this stage may be referred to one or more business lines for consideration.
3. Technical interviews
Our typical on-site interview contains technical questions that help us to assess your familiarity with problem-solving in your given field. Be prepared to explain how you approach problems and arrive at solutions.
4. Collaboration and leadership interviews
We seek to understand your ability to work in teams and across disciplines. We ask questions that help you share your actions, responsibilities and results in different circumstances.
5. Research interviews
You may be asked to present your research or thesis to a panel of experienced researchers. Be prepared to cite your research methods and findings and answer questions about your work.
We encourage you to ask questions during your interview to learn more about ExxonMobil careers as we learn more about you and your qualifications.
Typically our candidates meet with multiple interviewers and managers during on-site interviews. As a group, they will review your resume and interview results and make a recommendation to management. A manager will review and confirm the hiring decision, and your formal offer will be extended. The timing of offers and next steps will vary by position and location.
The corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of the US-based ExxonMobil Corporation, the largest publicly traded petroleum and petrochemical company in the world. ExxonMobil's CSR initiatives are aimed at improving education in the field of engineering, technology, maths and science, and helping women in developing countries to achieve their economic goals.
The company also promoted biodiversity, gave financial support to several institutions conducting research on climate change, and supported programmes to prevent the spread of malaria and HIV / AIDS. However, in spite of these initiatives, ExxonMobil attracted criticism. Environmentalists criticised the company for not taking enough measures to control carbon dioxide emissions from its operations. Industry analysts also alleged that the company promoted the use of fossil fuels. The company was also criticised for its opposition to the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.
