Refining and Petrochemicals: Challenges and Careers
Through our refining and petrochemical activities, we produce fuels and plastics that are essential to daily life-whether for transportation, heating, housing, food or healthcare.
These products are made from various raw materials: oil, gas, but also bio-based materials (such as vegetable oils) and recycled materials (such as animal fats, used cooking oils or plastic waste). To achieve this, we rely on the expertise and know-how of our teams and strategic partners worldwide.
Refining and petrochemical careers are evolving
Traditional professions are transforming. We continue to rely on operators, process engineers and sector managers whose skills are evolving to support the decarbonization of our sites and the increasing use of renewable raw materials. At the same time, new professions are emerging. TotalEnergies is already seeking digital specialists, specialized legal experts, sustainability managers, and all the professionals who enable us to design and develop tomorrow’s solutions.
