BP is transforming our entire business

bp has been an international oil company for over a century. Now we are pivoting to become an integrated energy company – from IOC to IEC. And while we’re mostly in oil and gas today, we’re committed to a net zero future. And you can help get us there.

Join us in business, digital, engineering, science or trading, and you’ll be an important part of the progress we’re making. You’ll contribute to complex projects that can make an impact far beyond BP. You’ll take your own ambitions forward too – learning, growing, and building the foundations of a varied and rewarding career.

Testimonials

The culture and the people at the company are incredibly supportive and friendly

I think bp is a brilliant employer. The culture and the people at the company are incredibly supportive and friendly. It is a massive family, and everyone looks after one another, especially on the early career’s schemes.

We have socials, we have fun

The group of us early careers employees at bp have become a real close-knit collective. We go out and spend a lot of time together. We have socials, we have fun, and we forget about work because at the end of the day we are young and want to relax sometimes!

One of the most rewarding aspects as degree apprentice at bp is the remarkable inclusive working environment.

"It's a place where I can genuinely be myself. The trust and responsibility I'm entrusted with go beyond the boundaries of my job title, allowing me to grow and excel as if I were a full-fledged employee."
“Joining as an apprentice, at first, I did not grasp how much space there was for me to develop and grow within the company. In my apprenticeship I’ve received excellent training and support. I even got the chance to travel to Rotterdam in the Netherlands for an audit I was working on.”
