Well Site Challenger – Oman – BP Global

Role synopsis The Challenge Program is a global initiative for new graduate recruits in their 24-36 months with the company. While the Challenge Program may be delivered differently across the business segments worldwide, the common purpose is to develop new graduates, and provide them with intensive training. This program is part of BP’s focus on career development and lifelong learning.

As a Well Site Leader Challenger, your first year will be spent mostly at the rig site with some time in the office to learn the fundamentals of our operations. Here you’ll work as a Well Site Engineer, providing technical support to the rig site teams. The following year, most of the time will be spent in the office supporting the Engineering Team in addition to developing your own knowledge of drilling and completion engineering & operations. As a base for all of this, you must have a strong academic record in an Engineering subject and, ideally, work experience too. This must be matched by your willingness to learn, to relocate wherever necessary and to undertake shift work, all in interesting and challenging environments.

Following the training period, you will continue with your development as Night Well Site Leader in the field with expectation to have office assignments as required and progress to Well Site Leader following the Excellence Program. Well Site Leaders can progress to operations roles like Wells Team Lead and Well Operations Manager. As you develop your skills, there will be opportunities for you to contribute to BP’s global operations in other part of the world. Whatever you pursue, we can offer you a thoroughly rewarding career based on what you’re good at, what you like to do, and what our business needs.

In your three-year early development program, you’ll be exposed to well design, construction, maintenance, repair and eventual decommissioning through formal and on-the-job training. An experienced coach and graduate-level buddy will help you to find your way around the company. With targeted class room and on the job training, you will develop competencies to be a skilled Well Site Leader.
