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.
Our programmes
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.

Atkins was invited to host this year which we were delighted to do. The day was as usual energetic, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. The girls who attended were engaged, involved and looking to get the most out of the day which as an employer was great to see. Some of these girls I suspect we might not see at our other events which made it all the more worthwhile. It was fantastic to be involved and we hope to do so again in the future.
Atkins
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
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.
National Grid
Good combination of chances to network/ask questions and hear from companies directly.
Student
A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.

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.
