Job description

The Operations Intern role provides hands-on exposure to field-based career opportunities within the energy technology industry. Through this internship, students gain valuable insight into SLB's operations, its role in the industry, and the unique and rewarding lifestyle associated with working in the field.

An internship at SLB is an opportunity to experience our culture, understand how we work, and determine whether a career in operations is the right fit for you. It is also your chance to demonstrate the skills, adaptability, and attitude needed to succeed in a dynamic and challenging environment.

Our paid summer internships typically last 10 to 12 weeks and provide meaningful opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to real-world projects. Interns work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to business objectives, and gain exposure to the technologies and operations that drive our industry.

Operations internships offer the best way to experience life in the field firsthand. Many assignments take place in demanding environments where challenging conditions, fast-paced operations, and problem-solving are part of everyday work.
