Heat. Light. Power. Mobility. BP deliver energy safely to the world. Joining us on our Marine 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.

Overview

Our business finds, produces, refines, markets and sells energy and petroleum products, and we’re committed to doing it cleanly, safely and responsibly. BP shipping connects many parts of this global business by providing safe and environmentally responsible transportation of BP’s hydrocarbons. To do this we own and operate many types of vessels, including 37 medium-size crude and product carriers, three very large crude carriers, one North Sea shuttle tanker, eight LNG carriers and four LPG carriers. All of these vessels are double-hulled and have to operate within strict assurance criteria. Marine engineers are crucial to this — providing marine expertise across Upstream (Exploration & Production) and Downstream (Refining & Marketing) sectors in addition to supporting our core responsibilities.

With the increasing need for marine assurance specialists, what’s clear is that by developing your career in shipping within a diverse team of professionals, your skills will be in great demand and could take you around the world.

Your role and responsibilities

As a marine engineer, you will deal with the design, construction, installation, operation and repair of propulsion, auxiliary and ancillary systems and equipment within a ship. From the start you’ll be part of our Endeavour Programme — our graduate development scheme that begins at our flagship site at Sunbury-on-Thames. Here you’ll find out all about our business and begin your work within the engineering team. Within the first year, you’ll likely also have opportunity to undertake a placement, normally in Europe. As you become more experienced you could have the opportunity to travel further afield — some of our current graduates are working in Singapore, Dubai and Korea, providing support to operational dockings, offshore support vessels (OSV), floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSO) and tanker new-build projects.

Development opportunities

Examples of current placements include the:

• Engineering teams.
• Projects technical team (Sunbury-on-Thames, UK-based and part-based in Korea for new builds).
• Fleet support Team (UK and Singapore-based).
• Class society.
• Sea time placement (Up to two months, ship dependent).
• Upstream North Sea (Aberdeen-based).

As you gain experience in the business, you’ll be expected to begin managing your own career path. That’s not to say you’ll be left to your own devices. We’re committed to your development and success, so you’ll be monitored and encouraged every step of the way by your mentor and line manager.

Your ongoing learning and development is as important to you as it is to us. Consequently, your manager and mentor will give you regular feedback and appraisals to back up your technical and practical training.

Locations

Sunbury-on-Thames, Aberdeen, Singapore, Korea. We require that all undergraduates be flexible as to geographical location (within the UK) for the duration of the programme.
