About bp

As a leading global energy company with a presence in over 61 countries, bp is dedicated to delivering energy to the world, today and tomorrow. Across the bp landscape, we’re home to a range of brands across many areas of our industry.

For over 100 years, we’ve focused on discovering, developing and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

It's an exciting time to join bp. From wellbeing programs to mentorship and career growth opportunities, we aim to ensure you can thrive – in work and in life.

About the role

The bp Early Career Program internship provides an excellent introduction to a multi-faceted global business. The internship program features meaningful project work, combined with numerous learning and development opportunities. Interns have the chance to learn from some of the most dedicated professionals and work alongside co-workers in Supply, Pricing, Strategy, and Aviation. This dynamic business is fast paced yet casual and conducive to learning and building new skills.

This internship immerses interns in BP's global supply chain, offering experience in teams such as Marketing Supply, Refinery Supply, and Fuel Pricing.

Nothing prepares you better for a career at bp than an internship. Our internship program provides hands-on, career-specific experience. You will:

  • Work on real projects that deliver tangible benefits and measurable results.

Every year, we take interns studying a range of subject areas, many of whom join us full-time upon graduation. During your internship, you will also have access to professional development and networking events, which will give you a well-rounded experience. Here, you will be able to explore your career aspirations across all significant areas of our Global Organization and develop the technical and professional skills you will need for a successful career.
