About Early Careers

Early careers opportunities are designed for your talent, skills and big ideas. bp offers graduate and internship roles across multiple areas, with next-level experiences, global impact, inspiring teammates and exceptional support.

Our Internships

Make an impact on cutting-edge projects, help find solutions to complex challenges, and be part of a company that invests in your growth. This 6-month internship programme builds your technical knowledge, develops key skills and helps you learn more about life at bp. You will be part of one team throughout your internship, supported by a dedicated line manager and buddy. You will also have opportunities to connect with other interns, take part in training and grow your network across the business.

Role and Responsibilities

The internship programme is designed to give you maximum exposure to our supply, trading & shipping business. You will work on projects with real impact to the business and be placed in a team where you can showcase and enhance your skillset, follow your ambition and contribute to the team’s success.

Examples of previous projects include:

• Carrying out research and analysis into a particular market or new jurisdiction and producing a strategy to support trading decisions and growth.
• Producing daily news/customer information reports to highlight market information and opportunities for trading and origination.
• Analytics in support of our fundamental and demand supply view for short/medium term revenue activity.
• Working to automate and optimise systems, reports and analysis to speed up trading processes and decisions using various data science techniques.

Throughout the internship programme, you will learn about the graduate programme through networking, training and information sessions before deciding on which graduate development track you would like to be considered for, as the summer internship is a primary pipeline for the 2028 Supply, Trading and Shipping graduate programme.

Supply, Trading & Shipping Development Tracks

Trading

Join the energy trading team and help manage trades on all the major energy commodity exchanges and the OTC market, along with daily exposure. Experience different trading disciplines and styles, from physical trading to paper trading.

Analytics

Influence trading decisions as part of a highly commercial and skilled team. Work in the fast-paced environment of the trading floors with access to vast amounts of data and information. Focus on driving continued growth in trading profits and acting as a subject matter expert on energy market fundamentals.

Commercial

Support the best use of bp’s investments to supply customers with the fuels they need. Propose new and creative ways to maximize value. Work across commercial teams responsible for building and maintaining key relationships, developing solutions to address bp’s and customers’ business needs, and creating additional value for the trading business.

About You

You will have strong organizational skills and the ability to deliver results in a collaborative environment. Your agility to learn and adapt will be key, along with energy, motivation and ownership to make the most of this opportunity. You will be comfortable making courageous and bold decisions, have digital fluency, and a keen eye for analytics and the insights they provide.

While good levels of numeracy are important, you won’t necessarily need a formal technical background. You will bring well-rounded life experience, and strong academic results supported by some work experience (for example, customer service or industry experience).

bp expects you to be early in your career—this role does not require you to be an expert.
