About us
Graduate and intern opportunities in engineering, science, business and trading
Developing and producing energy resources that benefit people the world over is our motivation – it’s what drives us. So we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable. Demanding more of the resources we use in an effort to create a more sustainable future.
So as society’s need for energy continues to grow, we rely even more on our vast team of talented individuals who come together and make everything we do possible. From pipeline engineers and automotive experts, to analysts and technicians – everyone plays a pivotal role in our success.
It’s our differences that power us. The experiences, skills and perspectives that make up our team all have their role to play. And when they come together, our future has no limits. And neither does yours.
Graduate opportunities
Geoscientists sending sound waves through the earth to find new oil and gas reserves. Engineers building platforms in the ocean for extraction. Traders anticipating and reacting to changes in the markets. Everyone at BP is laying the foundations for future generations. As a graduate or an intern, you’ll be making a real impact and doing a real job right from day one, while making your mark.
So whether you want to be a business leader, a world-class scientist or a ground-breaking engineer, we have a programme to suit. For graduates, our 2-3 year ‘Challenge’ and integrated supply and trading (IST) programmes will give you the skills and experience you need to succeed – whatever field you’re in. For penultimate-year undergraduates and postgraduates, our paid internships last for a full 12 months or for 11 weeks over the summer months – giving you a chance to gain valuable insights into how BP works as a business.
You’ll learn a lot as a BP graduate or intern. But most important of all, you’ll start a career path that can really take you places.

I enjoyed meeting with the companies and hearing their advice, especially on application process as I will be applying for graduate jobs.

Speaking to graduates and recruiters in such a relaxing environment was such an insightful opportunity- so many of my questions were answered, even those I didn't know I had.

A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.

Much more relaxed atmosphere compared to any previous event I've attended which made it easier to build relationships with employers.

It has made me realise that engineering is quite an open sector and that there is a lot of scope to enter a lot of areas.

The day has been inspirational and a great reminder of why I chose to study engineering.

Everything was great, the overall vibe puts you in a good mood and even if you come in scared and unsure about what to do, that quickly goes away.

We have attended the Future Female Engineering event for a number of years now; it is a great opportunity for employers to meet with interested and motivated female engineering students. Throughout the event students have the opportunity to get to know their preferred employers, hear what is like to be a graduate in the company and also gain helpful hints and tips on the application process. The event is a great opportunity for students and employers to network across a number of informal and fun sessions!
BAE Systems
A thoroughly enjoyable event, with very intelligent and driven students. The students are from a mixture of years so proved great for our current and future pipeline, and company branding. You also walk away with the details of circa 100 top quality students, so a very unique event.
AECOM
Great experience that really opened my eyes into what impact females can make within engineering.
Student
Good combination of chances to network/ask questions and hear from companies directly.
Student
It was delightful to see so many high calibre female engineering students who had made the effort to research our company and prepare questions for the networking session. The event was very well organised, informative and fun. This is our third year attending the event and we look forward to getting involved again next year.
