    Overview

  • My previous role within the BP staffing team included sourcing contractors internally or external subco for UK and European seats and to fill demands which BP had raised. This would include keeping our team data up to date. Since the start of this year I have been helping the FBA team with their tasks which included a Apprentice induction and t-levels course so far.
