We believe that selection is a two-way process and it is important that we both make the right decision.
Before applying with us, we encourage you to browse our site to learn more about who we are, what we do, our values, culture and the people who make up the Lyondell team. This will help you assess your own suitability for working at Lyondell.
Step 1 – Submit A Profile
Even though you can search for openings without registering, we encourage you to create a personal profile. It will take only a few minutes and doing so will allow you to quickly access our system in the future. You may also subscribe to automatic e-mail notifications when new opportunities meet your job preferences. If privacy is a concern, you can remain anonymous by only providing an email address.
Step 2 – Apply for A Job
After finding a job opportunity that interests you and ensuring that you meet the job requirements, you can apply by clicking on the "Apply Online" button on the job posting.
The system will guide you through the online application process. If you have previously provided information in your personal profile, your data will automatically populate your application.
You can upload your resumé and a cover letter; however, if you have previously uploaded these documents as part of your profile, they will be automatically included with your application.
Step 3 – Assessment of Qualifications
After submitting your application, you will get an e-mail confirmation that it was received. Your application is then automatically made available to Lyondell recruiters who specialize in matching your skills, strengths, and areas of interest to current openings. Following your submission, a recruiter will review your application and if there is an appropriate fit, they will forward it on to the hiring manager(s) for their review.
Step 4 – Phone Interview
If the manager wants to pursue your application, a recruiter will call you to conduct a brief phone interview. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, this process can take up to two weeks or more. The recruiter will then determine whether or not to pursue bringing you in for face-to-face interviews with the hiring manager and other staff members.
Step 5 – Face-to-Face Interview
During the interview process, we will assess your fit with our needs. This also provides you a better opportunity to assess your fit with our organization and gain a better understanding of the opportunity. After the first round of interviews, depending upon the nature of the position, you may be asked to come back at a later date for a second round of interviews. The entire interview process can span over a period of a few weeks.
Step 6 – Selection
Successful applicants will receive a verbal offer followed by a written offer letter. Offers are conditional subject to security clearance, referencing and other requirements. These vary depending upon the location and the role.
Once the position has been filled, unselected applicants will be notified about their application status. If you were not selected for the position for which you originally applied, we encourage you to maintain your profile and continue visiting our careers site. We frequently add new positions and by keeping your account active, Lyondell recruiters will have access to your information when seeking qualified candidates.
Thank you for your interest in Lyondell.
