Shell Graduate Stories

Study what you love, not what job you see at the end. If you love your field things will fall into place.

Joining the Upstream Production Graduate Program with Shell has allowed me an insight into both corporate life, as well as having the ability to spend almost two years in the field working a rotational roster.

Shell has become more centred around gas and developing new energy, so I feel like I’m working towards a solution and that I’m having a positive impact on our planet.

The graduate programme is three years long and, during this time, I know I will get a well-rounded view of all the assets and the technical disciplines in this large organisation.

I believe studying Petroleum Engineering with a major in Oil and Gas provides a broad understanding of the oil and gas industry.

The internship gives you a sense of responsibility in a global organisation from day one.

I wanted to join Shell not only for their global portfolio but also because of the extensive number of future investments and ventures they had planned within Australia.

I work with a great variety of people, which is really rewarding. Shell has a great coaching and mentoring program which I’ve found to be really useful.

Do the best you can, don’t be afraid of new challenges, see them as an opportunity to grow and learn.

I’m proud to work at Shell because diversity and inclusiveness is part of its DNA, which is important to me as a female engineer.

Coming back to Shell two and a half years later as a graduate, I was happy to see that the project I developed during my internship has actually been useful for Shell.
