Our Graduates help build an agile, innovative, and efficient bp; a purpose-driven, digitally enabled, fully integrated organization. As our business is so diverse, so are the types of people we employ, from engineers and geologists out in the field to IT professionals, research scientists, financial traders and retail workers. Because of this, our teams come from all kinds of different cultures and backgrounds – so a career in our People & Culture space will always going to be exciting, challenging, and full of incredible opportunities.
