About BP
Heat. Light. Power. Mobility. BP deliver energy safely to the world. Joining us as a summer intern on our Control & automation engineering programme, you’ll discover how we do it – getting to grips with some of the many processes it takes to turn oil and gas into products you and everyone on the planet depend on every day.
To say these programmes are an inspiring way to launch your career would be an understatement. But exhilarating though they are, they’re really just a starting point for even more amazing discoveries to come.
We are still open for intern applications for 2014.
Overview
Operations critical telecommunications (OCT) are the highly reliable and resilient communication systems required for day-to-day safe operation and incident management on BP assets around the world. Whether it covers navigation, hazard monitoring, or communicating and transferring information within our organisation, these systems must be continuously available, even during incidents, while the process plant is being made safe.
Our OCT engineers are a critical part of this work. We keep emergency response equipment safely powered up while everyone else would be trying to shut process systems down. Join us and you’ll be part of a highly specialised and energetic team of expert engineers ensuring our most critical communications systems and networks are properly designed and maintained. These systems include public address general alarm systems, emergency voice broadcasting, radar collision avoidance early warning systems, radios, satellite, weather monitoring systems and microwave communication networks. Join us, and as part of a diverse and supportive team, you’ll receive great training that’ll help you build a successful career.
Your role and responsibilities
As an intern in OCT, you’ll join our development Challenge Programme, working within an engineering team in support of our existing production operations, as well as new, large-scale construction projects. The scope will range from investigating replacement technology for legacy systems; working alongside an experienced engineer during the design and specification of new telecom systems for an offshore platform, or undertaking system reviews, analysing system performance, and planning preventative maintenance for an existing asset.
Typically, OCT engineers provide support for either a central engineering group or major offshore construction projects. Central engineering work could involve new marine radar systems, multi-base station handheld radio systems or designing and constructing a telecommunications system for an entire facility. Work with major projects could mean you’ll be involved in the entire lifecycle of a system, from initial brief and specification to construction, commissioning and testing.
Wherever you work, you’ll develop a broad range of technical and engineering management skills, across a diverse range of telecommunications and other related systems, often deployed in harsh operating environments around the globe.
Development opportunities
Your training will be tailored to suit your needs. You’ll have constant feedback and appraisals, plus plenty of opportunity for cross-discipline job rotations. Through this and a mix of theoretical and practical, ‘hands-on’ training, you’ll build a solid foundation in engineering.
Requirements
To apply for this role, you’ll need a background in computer science/IT, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, engineering technology, instrument & control engineering, physics or telecommunications engineering.
