The UK arm of global energy company Shell, with graduate programmes based in London and Aberdeen.
Shell is a global energy company. Its UK graduate programmes cover commercial, technical, trading and supply roles, as well as functions such as IT and digital, human resources, contracting and procurement, and finance.
Shell describes itself as moving towards a net-zero emissions business while still supplying the energy people need today. It lists honesty, integrity and respect as its core values. We did not find a UK-specific mission statement.
A UK graduate listing for the 2025 intake names London and Aberdeen as the locations. We did not find a UK headcount or a full list of UK sites.
The listing describes a "learner mindset" environment that is inclusive and collaborative, with a global network of expertise and a development journey tailored to each graduate, and says graduates get meaningful projects from the start. These are Shell's own claims.
The graduate programme is open to people studying or who have completed a bachelor's or master's degree in the UK, graduating in 2025 or within the last three years, with a 2:1 or above or on track for one. No specific A level or GCSE grades are asked for, though Shell expects a strong academic record. Shell matches candidates to a programme based on skills and preference and recruits on a rolling basis. The listing we found closed on 29 November 2024 (2025 intake, so dated). We found no programme length, salary or UK apprenticeship details.
