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.

“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.”
