Supply Chain Management Development Program; SCMDP

Supply Chain Management (SCM) Overview

Dependable supply chains have been foundational to Chevron’s progress. A reliable supply of materials, services and logistics enabled Chevron to grow from the first well in California to our global presence today. Over our history, we have built supply chains in places that once seemed impossible. By staying reliable in uncertain environments, we have enabled Chevron to compete.

SCM’s vision is to be the best proactive partners, essential experts, and commercial stewards to enable Chevron to deliver the energy the world needs. Chevron spends billions of dollars annually on goods and services to support our global operations. The SCM function collaborates within Chevron and across the companies we work with to deliver goods and services to Chevron safely, reliably, and at a competitive cost.

The function’s strategic processes include Category Management, Contracting, Strategic Sourcing, Market Intelligence, Procurement Operations, Materials Management, Logistics, and Supplier Diversity/Local Content.

SCM plays a critical role in enabling Chevron to deliver on its mission to provide the affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy the world needs. Our purpose is to create and manage the supply chains that enable human progress.

SCM Development Program (SCMDP):

SCMDP participants will gain a better understanding of Chevron’s business in an accelerated, fast-paced program. This 2-year program consists of three 8-month rotations that will provide the participants with hands‑on Supply Chain Management experience and focuses on the development of technical and leadership skills and competencies.

SCMDP participants will have the opportunity to complete rotations that span the end‑to‑end global supply chain across multiple asset classes, Corporate, and Business Unit roles. Frequent interaction with leadership, senior managers, current program members, and program alumni can be expected.

Assignments are driven by business needs.

Positions are typically located in:

Houston, Texas or other US location. While Houston is the homebase for the SCM Development Program, the expectation is that at least one of the 3 rotations will be in a location outside of Houston. Participants need to be geographically mobile throughout the duration of the program.
