Job Description: 

Shellโ€™s purpose is to power progress together, by providing more and cleaner energy solutions. We believe that rising standards of living for a growing global population are likely to continue to drive demand for energy, including oil and gas, for years to come. At the same time, technology changes and the need to tackle climate change means there is a transition underway to a lower-carbon, multi-source energy system.

As one of the worldโ€™s leading energy companies, Shell plays a key role in meeting the worldโ€™s growing energy demand in economically, environmentally, and socially responsible ways. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the energy industry. Join us in our ambition to be a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner if that is possible.

The Shell Graduate Program is designed to offer graduates training, opportunities and support you need to develop yourself.  You will be supervised and mentored with frequent reviews as part of a structured development program. You will also be learning alongside brilliant people from all over the world, with the resources and support to explore new ways of thinking and working.

What weโ€™re looking for

We are looking for ambitious students in their final year of study and/or recent graduates to help us tackle the energy challenge. You also need to be good at absorbing information, analysing problems, making objective decisions, and coming up with innovative solutions.

Office-based engineering support to the local offshore asset. In my current role, my day-to-day responsibilities are typically interfacing with vendors to provide engineering solutions to production problems. An example is when equipment fails, you will need to investigate what you suspect caused the failure, propose a solution and then discuss with local vendors how you will be able to practically achieve this solution.

Currently on my first graduate rotation as shutdown inspection engineer. Work has focussed mainly on the midstream turnaround scheduled for 2025. Other than that, it has involved graduate development plan, HR manual reading and workday training.

Pros and cons of working at Shell

Pros

  • Structured development in graduate program, but still ๏ฌ‚exible to your preferences for tasks & team rotations

  • Shell has so far provided me with excellent learning opportunities in areas I was previously experienced as well as new areas. I have been given a lot of responsibility even though I am only a graduate which has allowed me to be exposed to many areas of the business and increase my learning.

  • Training opportunities. The business has a large focus of developing employees internally. This includes opportunities for international travel to where the Shell SMEs to undertake internal training and appropriate vendor training.

  • Flexible working arrangements, opportunity to travel, friendly HR and good management

  • Competitive Bene๏ฌts - L&D Opportunities - Global Environment

Cons

    • Changing team members frequently - movement around the company & divisions is promoted which is a plus, but constant handovers delay the progress of work

    • Bureaucracy

    • Sometimes getting information can be a bit cumbersome due to being a large company. Generally haven't had any issues through.

    • The company does not take on many graduates each year, as a result the Graduate community is relatively small. Whilst everyone is incredible supportive, you will have to navigate the graduate program with fewer peers and people in the same boat as you.

    • It takes up significant part of your life.
