WHY HESS?
We aim to be the world's most trusted energy partner. Modern life and continued human prosperity depends upon access to affordable and secure energy and all forms of energy are required for an orderly and just future. Hess is ideally positioned to provide low-cost oil and gas reliably to help meet the world's growing energy needs in a way that protects the health and safety of our people, safeguards the environment, and makes a lasting positive impact in the communities where we do business.
Everything we do is guided by six core values - Integrity, People, Performance, Social Responsibility, Value Creation, and Independent Spirit, from how we treat our employees to how we interact with our neighbors, suppliers and business partners. They are the basic building blocks of our culture and represent our company's collective conscience. While our strategy changes over time based on business conditions, our values are enduring.
We are an industry leader in the Bakken shale play in North Dakota, one of the largest producers in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and a critical natural gas producer and supplier to Malaysia and Thailand. Our exploration and appraisal activities are offshore Guyana, one of the industry's largest oil discoveries in the past decade, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico and Suriname.
We are recognized around the world as an industry leader in environmental, social and governance performance and disclosure.
Hess provides challenging and rewarding opportunities for personal growth. We are always looking for talented professionals who share our values and are passionate about making a difference in the world and in their careers.
