Shell - Job Opportunities at Shell

Tackling the energy challenge

Populations are growing. Economies are developing. Meeting the growing demand for energy will be the defining challenge of the twenty-first century. And this is your chance to be part of the solution.

It won't be easy, but that's never stopped us before.

We've already achieved some of the industry's most impressive feats by holding to the belief that for every problem, there's a solution. That anything can be done if we put our minds to it. Turn gas to liquids to create a cleaner alternative to diesel? Difficult but not impossible. Make coal burn as cleanly as gas? With a bit of original thinking, yes.

What do we look for?

As a global energy and petrochemicals business, with 110,000 employees in 104 countries, we recruit graduates into a wide variety of technical and commercial business areas including Engineering, Finance, HR and IT. We'll assess you on your ability to absorb information, analyse problems, make objective decisions and come up with ideas of your own.

Three ways to get a job with Shell

There are three ways to get a job with Shell. It's up to you to decide which one works best for you. And you'll be asked to select your preferred route during the application process.

Internships

You can experience Shell directly through a paid student internship, which can last anything from eight weeks up to a year. Shell internships are a fully assessed route into Shell where you'll gain first-hand experience of what it's like to work with a global company.

Gourami Business Challenge

This is a six-day challenge for final year students, where you'll work as part of a team to develop a business plan for Shell in the fictional country of Gourami. The challenge simulates situations that arise in the energy industry and gives you a chance to make strategic decisions and recommendations.

Assessment day

Here we'll explore how well you cope with various business scenarios - assessing your capacity to analyse critical issues and identify the wider implications, as well as your aptitude for dealing with change and driving your own learning, and your ability to identify and influence key stakeholders.

Whichever path you take, you'll get a comprehensive onboarding programme when you arrive to help you settle into your new role. And our early career development programme will make sure you get off to a flying start.
