Position Summary

Well Engineering encompasses design, construction and down-hole maintenance of oil and gas wells, across exploration and production. You can expect to be involved in work across diverse projects, from drilling exploration wells in deep water or high temperature high-pressure wells in the North Sea, to onshore drilling in Australia.

Well Engineers are an integral part of BG Group; from discipline engineering experts and commercial managers, to project directors and plant operation specialists. As a Well Engineer you are an integral part of our company, with the opportunity to grow your international career in many directions.

Our IGDP has been designed to provide you with a structured development framework and placements that will stretch and develop your technical competencies. To support you in achieving this you can expect exposure to and contact with all levels of our Well Engineering community.

Taking on this challenge, you’ll be a part of our ever-growing organisation. This is your chance to work at a rapidly growing business with real challenges, real rewards and a very real opportunity to progress your international career.

Key Accountabilities

Well Engineering has a structured development programme, designed to build technical competencies across multiple areas. You will be expected to complete this programme by attending off-site and self-study courses, culminating in an exam at the end of the 2 year IGDP. The Well Engineering programme is accredited by the IMechE. 

Whilst on the IGDP you will complete placements to help develop and build on a range of skills, behaviours and technical competencies. Experience across practical field work will cover Drilling, Completions, Interventions, Well Services and Well Planning. On field placements you can expect to experience differing locations and rig types including offshore, land based, deep water, High Pressure High Temperature, conventional and unconventional environments. 

Every individual has a duty to both themselves and those around them to ensure that safe practice is adhered to at all times. In addition to any specific accountability for health, safety, security and the environment, all employees are accountable for ensuring that they take care of themselves and adopt exemplary safe behaviours.

Unique Knowledge, Skills, Experience and Attribute

Minimum qualification: 2:1 Bachelors Degree
Preferred qualification: Masters degree or equivalent 
Subjects: Mechanical, Aeronautical, Petroleum, Chemical/Process, Mining Engineering 

Just as important as your academic qualifications, however, will be the personal, professional and business skills you bring. 

• You will need to exhibit strong collaborative behaviours and the confidence to lead cross-functional teams to drive the best business outcomes for BG.
• You will need to demonstrate commercial edge, and at the same time, a strong ethical awareness. 
• You will need to be highly organised, managing a challenging workload and employing an analytical approach.
• You will need a keen eye for detail and must be comfortable writing reports and giving presentations. 
• Fluency in English is a must; given that we are a global business a second or third language is highly desirable.

Since at least one or more of your placements will be based overseas, you must be prepared to live and work away from home for extended periods. You must also have the confidence, influence, and cultural sensitivity to make the most of this opportunity. You are expected to build internal and external networks amongst peers and BG colleagues across functions and countries
