Our early careers hires help build an agile, innovative, and efficient bp; a purpose-driven, digitally enabled, fully integrated organization. 

 

Applied Sciences is where bp’s physical research and development work happens; we cover the science behind everything bp does. We are leading scientists and engineers who work in an inclusive and creative environment to innovate across boundaries. We work to drive value up and carbon down in support of bp’s net zero and growth ambition. We lead scientific innovation right through the lifecycle - from research, product development, demonstration, technical scale-up, commercialization and support for users in the real world.

Applied sciences is integrated with our customer groups, providing differentiated bp fuels & Castrol products to meet the market needs.  It leads the longer-term technology agenda, identifying emerging trends and innovating to develop energy pathways and platforms (e.g. innovative low carbon and bio process solutions) that will provide the future pipeline for our net zero transition. 

About the programme

The applied sciences graduate program will operate in a flexible model that allow graduates to experience the breadth of applied sciences, e.g.: mission-led placements within the AsPac region over a period of three years. The graduate programme lasts for 3 years, involving a rotation every year. The first year of the programme commences in Singapore.

 

Below is an outline of the activity sets and purpose for our applied science graduate programme:
