Job description

An exciting time to become a Petrofac graduate

This truly is a fascinating field to work in, and as Petrofac is involved across every area of the energy lifecycle, there’s plenty of variety. Our projects include carbon capture, hydrogen, waste to value and wind alongside traditional energy sectors. Technical functions to business support, we’re looking for graduates that bring the right energy across engineering, business development, project engineering, and project and cost control.

As a graduate in Petrofac’s Energy Transition Projects business, you will gain a breadth of experience working with world-class experts on some of the most significant energy transition projects. And of course, you won’t do it alone. Your mentors and colleagues will be with you every step of the way, offering advice, guidance, or just a friendly ear when needed.

The nature of our business is fast paced, and we are looking for individuals who are highly flexible and willing to step outside the normal boundaries of their engineering discipline to support the projects with strong problem-solving skills and focus on delivery.

We are bringing the right energy

We are a leading international service provider to the energy industry, with a diverse client portfolio including many of the world’s leading energy companies. Petrofac designs, builds, manages and maintains renewable energy infrastructure, as well as oil, gas, refining, and petrochemicals facilities. Our purpose is to enable our clients to meet the world’s evolving energy needs.

Our values – driven, agile, respectful, and open – underpin how we work together, inform the decisions we make, and are fundamental to our future success.

So what’s in it for you?

• Structured training aligned where appropriate, to the requirements of recognised professional bodies, such as Charted Engineer.
• A mentor with technical experience, selected by the Company to provide you with day-to-day support.
• Challenging hands-on work experience projects that will broaden your experience and knowledge of our organisation, enabling you to make a real contribution from day one.
• Personal development programmes to develop your interpersonal skills and leadership capabilities.
• Internal, external and on-the-job training opportunities.
• An opportunity to contribute directly to the global Energy Transition through involvement in very high-profile projects that will make a real difference to regional economies and Net Zero ambitions internationally.

The Role

As a graduate engineer you will be providing support to design projects for new installations and to the ongoing operation of existing facilities across the world.

On joining the engineering team, you will be placed with your home discipline to support our project work. Following that assignment, you will have the opportunity to work in other technical engineering disciplines as well as business development, project engineering, cost control and estimating. The aim is to provide a broad understanding of the business and open opportunities for further and deeper career development.

Previous graduates have undertaken the following:

• Spent time offshore working on decommissioning a disused platform.
• Travelled overseas on projects and business initiatives.
• Developed a hybrid power study methodology for an offshore carbon capture platform.
• Supported the cost control on a complex carbon capture project.
• Built a quantified risk analysis model to support the regulatory application for a hydrogen plan in the UK.
• Joined the business development team to build relationships with potential and existing clients.
• Developed cost estimates for the overall development of projects to support client financial investment decisions.

Qualification Requirements

• High level of numeracy and IT skills.
• Willingness to learn.
• Willingness to stretch into new areas of knowledge.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Team player.

Desirables

• Understanding and awareness of new energies e.g. carbon capture, hydrogen, wind power.
