Our hiring process

We want you to know exactly what to expect when applying to join us.

These points will help you along through the hiring process:

• Our jobs are posted on the ConocoPhillips Careers site, and we review applicants who apply online. We cannot accept a paper or email version of your resume, so please follow the instructions and set up an online account to apply.
• We review applicants who apply and select the best candidates for the available position.
• The interview process can vary, depending on your experience and the job for which you’re applying. Interviews can be conducted on-site or virtually. You’ll then be given a time frame regarding when to expect a decision.
• After the interview process is complete and we determine you are the best candidate for the position, we will call you to extend an offer.
• After the verbal offer is accepted, you will receive a written offer of employment that must be accepted. We then will initiate a pre-screening process – including a background check and drug test – that takes about two weeks.
• We want a smooth transition for new team members. Our onboarding tools and process help you know what to expect after you finish the pre-screening process.
