Challenging and rewarding work

Our attitude is that you can do whatever we ask you to do
Whatever you do, wherever you join and whoever you are, you will have the opportunity at BP to tackle challenging projects, always working to deliver against tight timescales in a truly performance-driven culture.

Because of the nature of our international business, the scope of our work is vast and this is reflected in most of the roles you might undertake.
That means that if you’re working in finance, you’ll be working with large numbers. In procurement, you’ll be responsible for big spending – our annual expenditure is in the region of 40 billion US dollars.
In technical and specialist roles, you’ll work alongside the brightest and the best, individuals who will be pushing you to innovate and apply your knowledge. We’d be surprised if you got bored – and we think you’ll actually look forward to coming to work every day.
We’re looking for extraordinarily talented individuals who share our values and our passion; who believe in doing the right thing and will strive to make a difference every day.
BP also offers most of its employees an opportunity to acquire shares in the company, through savings-related and matching arrangements. We typically use a long-term performance plan and grant share options as a part of employee remuneration. The exact offerings vary, depending on the country.
