BP's business is the exploration, production, refining, marketing, trading and distribution of energy, and they do it on a phenomenal scale. They own or part–own 17 refineries around the world, operate tens of thousands of miles of pipelines and run a fleet of more than 80 ships. They produce about 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day and own world–leading brands, such as BP, Amoco, Aral and Castrol serving millions of customers each day. And in recent years, they've made profits of over $20 billion a year.
BP aims to meet a growing global demand for energy without compromising the planet. They are going further to produce cleaner fuels and develop new energies, and they're investing in the technology and people to do it. Every year BP commits over $1 billion to technology that is shaping the future of the industry; and every year they hire 750 graduates and interns globally to become managers and technical experts of the future.
BP recruits into engineering, science and business. There are many opportunities within these — from chemical engineering to geoscience, chemistry to finance, trading to drilling and completions engineering. Whichever team graduates join, they will find the same support and encouragement to achieve new professional heights — and beyond.
BP looks for drive, enthusiasm, ambition and the ability to think creatively and relate well to others. In addition to mobility and a relevant minimum 2:1 degree, successful applicants will possess strong influencing, analytical and technical skills.
