At MPC, we’re committed to being a great place to work – one that welcomes new ideas, encourages diverse perspectives, develops our people, and fosters a collaborative team environment.

As an Electrical Engineer at a Marathon refinery, you will become familiar with industry codes and best practices, build critical‑thinking skills, and understand how all engineering disciplines work together as a cohesive team. You will also gain knowledge of various aspects of a refinery by working with a team of professionals who run a specific portion of the refining process. Most often, Electrical Engineers will work in more than one area of the refinery, leading to a broad understanding of how the plant operates.

You will have the opportunity to expand your written and verbal presentation skills in a professional work environment.

Help analyze equipment failures, develop solutions for recurring difficulties, submit Project Request Forms (PRF’s) to implement solutions, and understand equipment maintenance strategies. Use electrical analysis software to solve coordination issues and run Arc Flash studies for the power system, as well as learn how our critical Refinery Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) are applied.
