Working as an Expat...

People who work at BP as an expat often describe their position overseas as one of the most fulfilling and valuable experiences they’ve ever had. With operations across a range of locations including Houston, North Sea, Oman, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Trinidad and Angola, the opportunities to make critical decisions and a significant difference are real.

We’ve asked our people in the field to tell us what it’s like working as an expat, so you can see for yourself.
