The best jobs – and the best employees – often come together through word of mouth. Here are some word-of-mouth recommendations from five up-and-coming energy professionals who found exciting opportunities and a great place to work at Chesapeake Energy.

 

Billy V. - Intern, GIS
Intern since 2006

"CHK employees have a really great work ethic and have displayed their pride of working at CHK.  It is definitely a unique, one-of-a-kind work environment."

Lacey W. - Drilling Engineer I
May 2007 Graduate from OU in Petroleum Engineering

"After four years as a Chesapeake Energy intern, I wanted to join the ‘family’ after graduation -- most importantly because Chesapeake is the number one driller in the nation. This allows me to see drilling operations in Texas, Louisiana, even the Appalachian Basin, in the Eastern U.S. I do not think any other company can offer these experiences."

Mike S. - Manager, Acquisitions
Employee for 7 1/2 years

"At Chesapeake we work hard -- at challenging, fast-paced and rewarding careers. At the same time, we play hard and have a lot of fun – the company has a world-class fitness center, gourmet restaurants on-campus and countless activities and events for employees and families. I can’t imagine a better place to pursue a career." 

Eric B. - Applications Developer/Analyst
Chesapeake employee for 1 year

"Once you get a taste of the Chesapeake culture, you will not want to work anywhere else. Being a part of Chesapeake's Information Technology department gives me the opportunity to work with the latest technology to develop custom software that will help propel our company into the future.  I love how our company promotes a healthy lifestyle…they even pay us to stay fit!! I also enjoy getting the opportunity to give back to the community, whether it be mentoring elementary students or rebuilding homes in our communities." 

Britni W. - Intern, Geosciences
Pursuing Master's in Geology at OSU

"Before starting my internship at Chesapeake, there was so much I didn’t know about the petroleum industry. During my internship I definitely learned a lot about what a geologist does on a daily basis, how all departments work together, and everyone’s role within the company. I worked on a mapping project and took three valuable courses. The continuing education program at Chesapeake is amazing! I also got started on a thesis project. It was a busy, productive summer and I really learned a lot about the petroleum industry! Everything is really first-class at Chesapeake."
