Engineering & operations

Across the world, our engineers are pioneering the latest technologies in environments where safety and efficiency are absolute priorities.

We deliver innovative engineering solutions making tomorrow’s energy solutions a reality.
 
Whatever your speciality or discipline in engineering, we offer opportunities to develop your skills, working with the most advanced technologies in the industry, tackling the largest and most challenging projects in the world. 

In a business that has made safety the number one priority, help us set the standards for our industry.

bp makes the safety and reliability of all of its operations our top priority. With roles ranging from environmental managers to health advisors, find out where you fit in to our exceptional team.
 

From offshore drilling platforms, to newly-discovered terrain and inner-city business complexes, high-calibre professionals in health, safety, security and environment assess every possible risk to our people.

We learn through the challenges we constantly face and explore new ways to improve our design, technology and processes.

By focusing on developing engineering and control systems that reduce hazards and support compliance, capability and performance, we look to ensure all our people are safe and secure in the environment they work in.

We make health and safety our overriding priority. Can we rely on you to implement it?

Whether you work on deepwater platforms, in our amazing oil refineries, or in our onshore oil and gas operating centres, you’ll be able to make your mark on a business that makes safe and reliable operations its top priority.

Operations is the backbone of our integrated energy company – and the key to turning our resources into products that meet the increasing demand for energy.
 

Safely and reliably finding new reserves of energy isn’t the whole story. Taking the resource to market is just as challenging, just as important and just as safety-critical.

Our oil refineries are technically complex and a reflection of our growing investment in innovation. It’s here that hydrocarbons are converted, upgraded and blended into products that people can put into their cars or use to heat their homes.

Our engineers and technicians at our refineries ensure that every piece of equipment is operated safely and responsibly.

Our operations literally span the globe and, wherever you work, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and build the skills needed for your future and ours.

Whether it’s a major offshore exploration project or a key refining improvement programme, our project managers take the lead at all stages of the project lifecycle.

The ambition of our projects is to deliver world class performance, fully integrated with bp’s business groups, using an inclusive community of project professionals creating and delivering projects that build a better future for people and the planet.

Key activities that create and protect value:

• safety – manage our operations in a safe and reliable manner
• framing – frame projects and provide the centre of expertise for appraisal and front-end development
• capability – provide capability to manage the design and build of major projects and programmes
• oversight – provide oversight for projects and project processes across bp
• collaborate on projects – integrate the contribution of other businesses and enablers and take accountability to ensure that all project promises are met
• decommissioning – manage bp’s decommissioning cost estimation and provisioning.
   

Our operations span the globe and, wherever you work, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and build the skills needed for your future and ours.

From exploration to trading, in our quest for excellence we embrace leading-edge technologies.

We have our sights firmly fixed on the future. Our innovation and engineering teams provide the knowledge, expertise and creativity to keep us at the cutting edge and help make the future ours.
 

Technology and information give us the insight we need to operate effectively.

Information tells us how deep to drill our wells and where the best path for our pipelines should be. It also keeps us informed of global energy prices and the costs of our projects. Our systems are some of the most advanced in the world – and our information technology professionals are fully engaged in safely and reliably finding energy and maximizing the value of our assets.

In our culture of discovery, we offer wide-ranging development opportunities across the bp and Castrol businesses.

We use leading technologies to deliver solutions across our product and operations business.

In subsurface, we work with experts. Our geoscientists, petrophysicists and engineers work as part of a collaborative team on offshore, deepwater and onshore oil and gas projects in over 25 countries. 
 

Our product and operations segment is responsible for our activities in oil and natural gas exploration, field development and production, and midstream transportation, storage and processing.

In everything we do, safety and reliability are absolute priorities. And that means taking on outstanding scientists and engineers and giving them access to the best technology.

From the first stages of exploration through to development and recovery, they make it possible for us to push back the frontiers of geography and discovery to safely find and develop more resources.

Expanding on our footprint, we have opened our new technical solutions India center in Pune.

With a century-long business presence in India, bp is one of the largest international energy companies in the country.
