The experience
On our data science apprenticeship, you’ll enjoy plenty of on-the-job experience, with up to 10 hours per week dedicated to formal learning. This will include core degree activity, as well as access to our own internal learning and development, to help you build technical, business and behavioural competencies.
You’ll have full support from your apprenticeship training provider and the BP HR early career programme team – as well as regular structured feedback on your development, progress to date and next steps. In addition, you’ll be guided at every step by an experienced mentor and buddy.
What to expect
On this four-year programme, you’ll split your time between a number of exciting roles. Each role will give you a comprehensive introduction to BP, our businesses, and our dataWorx function. In these rotational roles, you’ll gain knowledge of the sub-disciplines within dataWorx, and develop the technical, business and behavioural skills you’ll need to become a well-rounded data professional.
The start of your apprenticeship
You’ll spend the first period of your apprenticeship in our central dataWorx organisation, building a foundational understanding of the oil and gas industry and how our business operates. You’ll learn about the different ways we use data science and digital technologies to help our business solve some of the biggest global challenges and supply energy to the world in a safe and responsible way. This foundation will be invaluable as you move into your next rotations.
Broadening your development and building a specialised skillset
Your first year will be followed by several rotations. You’ll get an opportunity to work in two of our specialist domains, such as Subsurface, Wells or Production and support one of our regional, central teams - so you’ll get plenty of exposure. This will be followed by a rotation in one of our regional teams. During these rotations, you’ll be enabling the business to maximise value from data across the exploration, development, production and operations of the oil and gas fields. You’ll be tackling business challenges that require working with many types of information and data including seismic, well, spatial, and production data. These rotations will be dependent on the requirements of your study plan and available opportunities across dataWorx at the time. You’ll continue to be based in our Sunbury-on-Thames office for the duration of these rotations.
Aligning with our graduate programme
You’ll develop alongside our dataWorx graduates and will be part of that broader early career community. If you meet the programme requirements and successfully complete your data science degree, you’ll formally graduate from the programme after four years.
After qualifying: a rewarding career
Beyond formal early career programmes, BP employees tend to move roles every two to four years (subject to performance and experience). We are committed to providing the guidance and tools to support your continued development and success. Throughout your career at BP, there will be many options for further development. Whichever route you choose to take, we can offer you a very rewarding career.
So, who are we looking for?
We believe in hiring people with the right core competencies and interest, rather than specific technical experience. That’s why, when it comes to our data science apprenticeship programme, we welcome applicants from a range of academic subject backgrounds. Most importantly, we’re looking for people who have a real passion to work in a global business, and a drive to support the people aspects of our business agenda.
To be successful, you must be committed and motivated to studying towards a data science degree qualification. You must also have the ability to work on your own initiative – and be able to work co-operatively as part of a team. You’ll have a keen eye for detail, excellent written, verbal communication and numeracy skills, and the ability to plan ahead and prioritise your workload.
Ideally, you would have had exposure to Python, R, Automation or any coding courses.
