At ExxonMobil, our vision is to lead in energy innovations that advance modern living and a net-zero future. As one of the world’s largest publicly traded energy and chemical companies, we are powered by a unique and diverse workforce fueled by the pride in what we do and what we stand for.

The success of our Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses is the result of the talent, curiosity and drive of our people. They bring solutions every day to optimize our strategy in energy, chemicals, lubricants and lower-emissions technologies.

We invite you to bring your ideas to ExxonMobil to help create sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet society’s evolving needs. Learn more about our **What** and our **Why** and how we can work **together**.

ExxonMobil has operated in the U.K. for more than 135 years. We are best known today for the marketing of our Esso fuels and Mobil 1 lubricants and for our petrochemicals. We have refining and chemical operations in the UK, we operate the UK’s biggest private pipeline network and we retain a non-operated share in a number of fields in the North Sea. More recently, we are developing our involvement in lower emission projects in the UK, building on our experience in carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen production and biofuels.

An ExxonMobil career is one designed to last. Our commitment to you runs deep: our employees grow personally and professionally, with benefits built on our core categories of health, security, finance, and life.

**What role you will play in our team?**:
ExxonMobil geoscientists are deployed across the Upstream, Low Carbon Solutions and Technology & Engineering companies to support the Corporation's goal of providing global energy solutions and leading the industry to achieve net zero. A geoscientist can expect to have a career working a wide range of assignments in traditional oil and gas exploration, production, and research as well as assignments supporting the Energy Transition, including carbon capture and storage as well as providing hydrogen-based solutions.

Geoscientists in Exploration or Energy Transition roles are required to work at the basin, play, prospect, or field scale, focusing on evaluating and assessing the commerciality of existing or new opportunities. They are expected to deliver accurate subsurface descriptions and communicate key risks and uncertainties supporting business investment decisions. Exploration geoscientists integrate and interpret geological and geophysical data to support opportunity identification and capture, and prospect generation and maturation. Typical datasets for integration include seismic, well logs, fluids, and core; and leverage advanced mapping, interpretation, modeling, and other techniques. The role also requires collaboration with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, and drilling execution, as well as with commercial experts undertaking economic evaluations or negotiations. In addition, we have roles for exploration geoscientists with quantitative interpretation, well operations/wellsite investigation skills, and geologic modeling.

**What you will do?**:

- Generate and prioritise prospects within a regional framework
- Evaluate value potential through prospect generation, maturation, and drilling
- Integrate diverse datasets across multiple scales to build subsurface models, solve geological problems and make associated recommendations
- Work effectively within and across diverse multi-discipline team environments

**About you**:

- Professional experience in a relevant industry or academic position.
- Must have an MSc and/or PhD in Geophysics or Geology (or related fields) with strong, fundamental background in the earth sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics (including statistics)

**Valuable Skills and Experience**Preferred Qualifications/ Experience**

A selection of the following skills and experiences are desirable:

- Quantitative interpretation (geophysical/ structural/ other)
- Well planning and execution
- Geologic model building
- Technical report writing
- Mentoring
- Use of ArcGIS, Petrel, and similar industry software
- Experience in evaluation of carbon storage opportunities
