Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1. How do I apply for a job at bp?
All applications are made online on the official bp careers portal. Search for the role and country, create a candidate profile, upload your CV and submit. Applications are not accepted by email for these vacancies.
Q2. Can I apply for more than one bp early careers programme?
No. For early careers you can apply to only one bp opportunity globally per academic year, and bp processes only your first application. Later applications in the same year are withdrawn, so choose your programme carefully.

The Graduate – Wells role and the Kerja Praktek Internship both close on 30 November 2026. The other Indonesia graduate roles (Subsea Construction Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Procurement) close at the end of November 2026. Because bp recruits on a rolling basis, roles can close earlier once filled — apply as soon as you can.
Q4. Are the UK graduate roles still open?
No — applications for the ST&S graduate programme have closed for this cycle due to application volumes, according to the official bp graduates page. The ST&S apprenticeship is a separate programme: it is listed on the official portal, based at Canary Wharf, London, with a start date of 6th September 2027 and a starting salary of £32,000 per annum.
Q5. Does bp charge any fee for applications?
No. bp never asks candidates for money at any stage of recruitment. Anyone demanding a fee for a bp job application is a fraudster.
