FE, Midstream Strategy Argentina
Chevron · Buenos Aires
Chevron is accepting online applications for the position through 11/10, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (GMT - 3).
About the Opportunity
Chevron Argentina is entering a multi-year midstream build-out to support its accelerating Shale & Tight development in Vaca Muerta. At the center of it is the TGS NGL Project, a multi-billion program that includes expansion of the Tratayén gas plant, a new ~360-mile Y-grade pipeline, a new fractionation complex, and an expanded LPG and C5+ export terminal in Bahía Blanca. Chevron is participating as an anchor producer, and the project is critical to the company’s flow assurance and value realization in Argentina.
We are looking for a senior engineer to serve as Chevron’s primary technical focal point for third-party midstream developments in Argentina, making sure Chevron’s requirements shape the design, the agreements, and the start-up of the infrastructure our production depends on.
Role Summary
The Midstream Integration Lead will serve as Chevron Argentina’s primary technical and commercial interface with midstream partners, anchor producers, service providers, and key industry stakeholders. The role will own Chevron Argentina’s technical position with TGS and other strategic partners, ensuring alignment between Chevron’s business objectives and external midstream infrastructure initiatives.
This position connects Facilities Engineering, Operations, Commercial, and Business Development teams in Argentina with Chevron’s Shale & Tight (S&T) organization and Houston-based S&T teams. The role is responsible for coordinating engineering, commercial, and strategic activities associated with the development of midstream infrastructure, influencing technical and commercial outcomes that support Chevron’s long-term growth strategy in Argentina.
The initial focus of the role will be the TGS NGL Project and the associated gas takeaway infrastructure build-out. Responsibilities include close collaboration with project stakeholders, operators, producers, and industry partners involved in gas processing, natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery, transportation, and related infrastructure. As Chevron’s Argentina business expands, the scope is expected to grow to include oil and water midstream infrastructure opportunities.
The successful candidate will combine strong process engineering expertise with stakeholder management capabilities, project execution experience, and commercial acumen. The role requires the ability to build alignment, influence decisions across multiple organizations without direct authority, and effectively integrate technical, operational, and business priorities to achieve strategic objectives.
