• Reinforce a results-driven work environment.
  Our HR organization knows and values the energy business, our customers and the competitive environment. HR employees provide expert counsel to increase organizational effectiveness, build and manage senior relationships, and identify and champion major organizational transformation.
• Enable people to be all they can be.
  Throughout the company, our HR staff helps influence organizational people values and behavior. Our team is on hand to provide counsel to managers and employees on engagement and help employees surface needs and concerns. We also ensure fair, ethical and equitable people policies and practices and provide employees with opportunities to manage their careers and understand their career opportunities.

Here are some examples of different roles in which you can contribute:

• HR Business Partners
  HR business partners are generalists embedded in the businesses. They are dedicated to providing business-unit-specific strategic and consultative services to executives and line managers concerning their people-related issues. HRBPs routinely consult with the Centers of Excellence and the HR Shared Services group to service the particular needs of the business or function and employees they support.
• Centers of Excellence (CoE)
  Centers of Excellence group members are specialists who provide strategic, design and consultative services to HRBPs and assist the HRSS group in resolving complex issues. CoE professionals also are committed to developing a world-class level of expertise and sharing that knowledge across the company. CoE services include expatriate services, global compensation and international benefits services, integrated occupational health services and talent management.
• HR Shared Services
  The HR Shared Services group is a shared service organization that responds to employee inquiries and processes HR transactions. The HRSS group was created to provide the most cost‑effective and efficient operation for routine administrative tasks and inquiries (e.g., benefits administration, payroll processing and data maintenance).

How you can grow

HR professionals who are newly hired into the organization have the opportunity to experience a variety of positions throughout the HR function, whether working as an HR business partner or in the Centers of Excellence or as part of the HR Shared Services team. Newly hired employees not only will grow and develop deep functional expertise, but also have the opportunity to create real value by working directly with the business. These employees will learn to think strategically, influence people and apply the skills they’ve gained in college. Along the way, these employees also will gain a great deal of knowledge about the businesses they support.

Some of the most impactful growth opportunities are through on-the‑job development and involvement in major projects, complemented with relevant training opportunities, including instructor-led and computer-based courses on a variety of functional and business topics.

What we’re looking for

The HR organization is looking for highly motivated applicants obtaining degrees in business with specialty in Human Resource management, Human Resource Management, or equivalent who can bring a fresh perspective and diversity of thought to our workforce. Relevant skill sets include strong analytical capabilities, strategic thinking, change management and excellent communication skills.
