Job Description:

The safety of our sites, the well-being of our people and our impact on the environment are absolutely fundamental to our business. These foundational principles are critical as we reimagine energy for people and our planet and work towards our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Health, safety, environment and carbon (HSE&C) cares for and protects our people and planet from harm. HSE&C covers all businesses throughout bp from offshore production facilities, to wind and solar farms, global networks of retail sites, and many other exciting ventures. Our ambition is to lead by example in partnering with everyone to deliver solutions that reduce risk and eliminate harm.

Roles and responsibilities ​
The precise nature of your role and project will be determined by your skills as well as the needs of the business but your responsibilities may include:

• Working with teams to strengthen their safety culture
• Making sure risk is systematically and proactively managed by ensuring alignment and compliance with policy, standards, regulations and statutory requirements.
• Getting after our net zero, biodiversity, and sustainability aims
• Looking for continuous improvement or long-term project opportunities across risk, HSE&C systems, and learning.

Are you ready to ignite your potential with bp!

During your internship you’ll be a member of one of our HSE & Carbon teams, which means placing bp’s health, safety, environmental, and sustainability priorities at the centre of your work. As part of this team, you should have a passion for problem-solving, systems thinking, and a care for people and the planet.
