ABOUT US
A truly global company, INEOS comprises 36 businesses with 194 sites in 29 countries throughout the world. We also encompass a range of consumer brands and sports interests. INEOS Grangemouth is home to 2 of those key businesses; INEOS O&P UK and INEOS FPS. INEOS O&P UK Grangemouth is a petrochemicals centre of excellence and it is the largest manufacturing site in Scotland. The Forties Pipeline System (FPS) plays a key role in safely and reliably transporting hydrocarbons from the central North Sea, onshore for processing.
Across both businesses, we pride ourselves on offering a friendly and welcoming working environment that offers employees true autonomy and empowerment. This enables everyone to achieve their goals and have a fulfilling professional career with us.
Our aim is to find new, improved ways of doing things. Whether that is through improving the energy efficiency of our plants, developing new ways of working, or delivering on our net zero promises, we like to push boundaries and overcome challenges. If you share our vision for a sustainable future; possess the skills and competencies to help deliver our net zero road map, and want to play your part in the remarkable next step in the UK petrochemical sector, we'd like to hear from you.
