Overview

We are looking for interns who share our purpose to power progress and our culture of inclusion, collaboration, and care. You’ll be given the support you need to bring out your best, with real responsibilities and meaningful projects with clear deliverables from the start.

This posting covers all Shell internship programmes:

• Finance
• Information & Digital Technology
• Trading & Supply
• Integrated Commercial

Note: Shell matches you into a particular programme based on your skills and preference. Candidates with a strong interest in a specific area are encouraged to select it as their first preference.

What You Can Expect

An Assessed Internship is an excellent way to get to know Shell from the inside and immerse yourself in the energy industry. It can also help you decide what career is right for you. You’ll have full day-to-day involvement in actual projects, selected to match your interests and abilities. You’ll join a project team and work alongside Shell employees who are professionals in their fields. Their perspectives will contribute to your understanding of our business, its demands, and rewards.

A supervisor and mentor will support you directly, and you’ll undertake regular assessments throughout your internship to ensure you get the most from the experience. You’ll have a formal mid-term review with your supervisor and mentor. At the close of your internship, you will prepare a presentation about your project, followed by discussion on project delivery and performance.

• Typically, 10–12 weeks in your chosen business area.
• A real project with a significant level of business impact.
• Discovering which skills you need to develop through constructive feedback.
• Developing valuable networks and contacts for future career opportunities.

Skills and Attributes

You should enjoy being challenged. Rather than being daunted or overwhelmed if a task seems impossible, you welcome the opportunity to be innovative. You should also be good at absorbing information, analysing problems, making objective decisions, and coming up with original ideas. You’ll need drive and resilience to get things done, flexibility to work well as part of a team, and credibility to influence others.

Requirements

To be eligible for the Shell Assessed Internship Programme:

• You must be pursuing a Bachelor or Master’s degree in the United Kingdom and be in your penultimate year of study.
• You must be on track to receive a 2:1 or above in your undergraduate degree (or an equivalent grade).
• We value a strong academic record, but there are no specific academic requirements for grades at A-Level or GCSE equivalents.
• You must be available to start your 12-week Assessed Internship in June 2027 and be able to commit for the full programme duration.
