About Early Careers

Your talent. Your skills. Your big ideas (and even bigger dreams). We know you have a lot to give, so we’ll make sure you get a lot in return. From next-level experiences to global impact, and from inspiring teammates to exceptional support, we offer graduate and internship roles across multiple areas.

Our Internships

Make an impact on cutting-edge projects, help find solutions to complex challenges, and be part of a company that invests in you and your growth. Our 12-week summer programme gives you the opportunity to build your technical knowledge, develop key skills, and learn more about life at bp. You’ll 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.

Internship Projects

Internship projects could take place in the following areas:

• Commodity risk: Understand, control, and constructively challenge trading activity and positions on a near real-time basis within supply, trading & shipping to ensure they are compliant and aligned with the intended trading strategy.
• Credit risk: Provide independent risk oversight of counterparty risks inherent in trading activities, risk analytics, and advice on deal structuring and risk mitigation to support the business. Use quantitative tools and techniques to assess and measure credit risks. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to deliver commercial goals. Interns can learn risk quantification, analysis/review, monitoring, reporting, and work on global projects.
• Commercial development (CD): Collaborate closely with the trading and origination organisation and support functions to enable value creation in supply, trading & shipping. Challenge the status quo, apply commercial acumen, and drive strategic initiatives to solve complex problems.
• Operational excellence: Help manage, set, and promote new and continuing improvement initiatives that are compliant with operational risk standards and internal control processes across supply, trading & shipping.

About You

As a bp intern, you will have an interest and/or skill in delivering economic value back to a business, identifying solutions and strategies that result in cost savings, and demonstrating a natural negotiation style. No matter where you work at bp, you’ll be valued, included, and respected, with ongoing support throughout the internship. The summer internship is also a primary pipeline for bp’s 2028 finance & risk graduate programme.

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

We know you’re early in your career and don’t expect you to be an expert.
