Alongside a unique opportunity to act as a key integrator of multi-energy solutions across bp, T&S is perfectly placed to support the company’s journey to net zero. To do this, we’ll need to be constantly pursuing commercial opportunities. Optimizing our core businesses. Looking for new revenue streams.

About our foundation apprenticeship programme
Over the 2-year programme, you’ll be placed in real business roles and be an active member of your team. These roles could see you supporting commercial trading as part of a financial team, analysing market data or working in the logistics team, managing the movement of the physical trades.
Alongside the on-the-job experience, you have the opportunity to study for a Level 3/4 apprenticeship standard, in either a business or data science discipline with full support from an external training provider. In addition, you’ll be guided by an experienced mentor from the T&S business.

Most importantly, we’re looking for people who have a real passion to work in a global business.
To be successful, you will have the ability to work on your own initiative but also 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 prioritize your workload.
