Summary

Our apprenticeships offer a route into the energy industry without a university degree. Over a 2-year programme, you’ll work in real business roles and be an active member of your team. You will also study towards a Level 3 (advanced) or Level 4 (higher) apprenticeship standard.

Your apprenticeship will be aligned to one of the following standards (learning providers are subject to change):

Business administrator / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education

BPP (Level 3)

Data analyst / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education

Imperial College and Corndel (Level 4)

During the assessment process we will assess where your skill set will be best suited – to join either the business track or the operations track. Either way, we expect you to become the future talent for our ST&S business.

General business track:

Roles could see you supporting various commercial trading activity in the financial team; analysing market data; or working in the shipping team, to name a few. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship programme, you will have the opportunity to move onto our wider ST&S development programme, a further 3 years, specialising in either Trading, Analytics or Commercial tracks, depending on your skillset and career aspirations. This is subject to successfully completing additional assessments.

Trading operations track:

Operations is key to the success of our trading teams. Over the 2-year programme you may operate physical oil movements ensuring safe, compliant, commercial operations. You will be given the opportunity to work across different teams on the trading floor, from crude oil to biofuels, from barges to ships, and everything in between.

Upon successful completion of the programme, you will have the opportunity to complete a 3rd rotation focusing on a core operations role with a view to becoming a permanent member of the operations team.

Join us and you’ll get the support of a structured technical pathway and our training programme, designed to help you grow both professionally and personally. In return, you'll bring your ideas, curiosity and ambition to real business challenges. Along the way, you'll be part of a supportive bp early careers community that will help you grow, succeed and make a meaningful impact from day one.
