Supply, Trading & Shipping (ST&S)

Did you know? We’re one of the world’s leading traders of commodities. So, when you join us as a supply, trading & shipping graduate, you’ll get the opportunity to connect to major energy markets while developing your industry knowledge and commercial skills. From analysing data to influencing decision-making. From building customer relationships to shaping deals. This programme gives you the exposure and experience to start building a future in commercial business.

About the programme

Designed for penultimate year students, our 12-week summer internship programme commences in November 2026 and is designed to give you maximum exposure to our supply, trading & shipping business. You’ll become part of a collaborative and inclusive workplace as you build on your technical and interpersonal skills, and you’ll enjoy access to some of the most talented people in their fields.

You will be working on projects with real impact to our business. You’ll be placed in a team that best matches your skillset and ambitions and be an integral part of the team’s success.

Alongside this, a buddy will help you network and learn everything you need to perform in the organisation. Over the course of the internship programme, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about our graduate programme through networking, training & information sessions and be early considered for our 2027 Supply, Trading and Shipping graduate programme.

About you

You’ll have strong organizational skills and the ability to deliver results in a collaborative environment. Your agility to learn and adapt will be key along with the energy, motivation, and ownership to make the most of this fantastic opportunity. You’ll be comfortable making courageous and bold decisions, have digital fluency, a keen eye for analytics and the insights they provide.

Even though good levels of numeracy are important, you won’t necessarily need a formal technical background. You’ll bring well-rounded life experience, and your strong academic results will be supported by some work experience, everything from customer service to industry experience is great!

We know you’re early in your career – we don’t expect you to be an expert.

As a bp intern, you will have an interest and/or skill in delivering economic value back to a business, identifying solutions and strategies resulting in cost savings and a natural negotiation style.
