Well Engineer - Graduate

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 Asset Solutions business, you will gain a breadth of experience working with world-class experts on some of the most significant energy projects and operational assets. 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?

1. Structured training aligned where appropriate, to the requirements of recognised professional bodies, such as Charted Engineer.
