About bp
bp operates at the heart of the global energy system, helping countries meet their energy needs and serving millions of customers every day. With world-class assets, technology, trading capability and partnerships, we deliver energy at scale today while investing with discipline in the energy transition.
About the role
Taking on the role of Process Engineering Intern means designing projects and supervising plant development to ensure the reliability of our upstream productions. Alongside a strong technical degree in Chemical Engineering, that means having a global view for wide-scale projects or a sharp eye for detail to aid in more niche roles in a specific upstream production process area.
As a Process Engineer, you will:

• Deliver innovative solutions that take our business forward.

• Support the design production and utilize your knowledge to optimize their operation.

• Be a crucial part of the processing of our core substances.

• Using your expertise to make technical and strategic decisions that determine our company's success.

Process engineering interns may get the opportunity to go offshore as part of their development. This will require completing specific training to travel offshore and meet offshore safety and emergency response requirements (such as HUET). Candidates will also need to get a valid TWIC card (Transportation Workers Identification Credential). The team will provide new hires with further guidance during onboarding.
Successful interns may be considered for a full-time role within our One Engineering program upon earning their degree.
The One Engineering Program:

• One Engineering - "is an early careers programme designed to create a pipeline of professional engineers who are high-performers, have broad discipline experience, a transferable skills-set, leading through the energy transition, and solving the most complex problems of today and of the future. Early career discipline engineers will build their experience through challenging development assignments, develop a toolkit of transferable skills for the future, and have a dedicated network of support to help them succeed."
