Working at Cenovus

What makes Cenovus an industry leader? It’s simple. We protect what matters, we do it right, we make it better, and we do it together. People come first in everything we do and our business results are directly related to the commitment of our people.

As soon as you walk in to one of our locations, virtually or physically, you’ll feel the energy. We have built a cohesive and comprehensive experience for our people and our goal is for you to be able to see, feel and appreciate the unique value you bring to our organization throughout every stage of your career with us.

Employee development

We foster a culture of learning and development to support employees as they grow and stay with us through each stage of their career. To do this, we offer a variety of employee development initiatives such as our Mentorship Program, internal course offerings, education assistance for additional development and special project opportunities. We also offer internal job movement to provide employees with valuable opportunities to gain new connections, strengthen their skills, apply them in new ways and achieve their career aspirations.

We offer leadership development for up-and-coming leaders, as well as established ones, and recognize the importance of continuous learning. As a fully integrated energy company, we see the opportunities that come with sharing knowledge and expertise across our business and areas of operations.

Our total rewards

We offer a competitive total rewards package for permanent employees, inclusive of compensation, benefits and savings programs. Cenovus strives to be an employer of choice in our industry by delivering market competitive programs in each of the countries in which we operate.

Performance oriented: We pay for performance, reflecting both individual and company results that are aligned to our business strategy over the short and long term. Our market competitive total compensation opportunity includes salaries, and for eligible employees annual and long-term incentives all to support attraction, retention and engagement.

Benefits: Our benefits package is an important part of our total rewards package. Medical, dental, life insurance, disability benefits, employee family assistance (EFAP), virtual healthcare coverage and vacation are provided. In some cases employees will have the flexibility to choose the coverage levels that best suit their personal needs. Additionally, we want to ensure you are supported to take the time you need to take care of yourself as well as your family through our inclusive leave of absence programs.

Outside of work: Our health and wellness team offers a variety of innovative well-being programs and services to ensure you flourish at Cenovus. We're committed to rewarding, recognizing and supporting you throughout your career with us.

And while we work hard to provide energy the world needs, we don’t stop there. Our purpose extends to building a better future, and our employees and their families share our belief in the power of giving and getting involved. Through our Employee Giving and Volunteering Program, Cenovus Cares, we’re set to make an even bigger difference, together.
