Is Shell Contracting and Procurement right for you?
We're constantly looking to attract highly motivated, self reliant and collaborative people to work in the cross-functional teams to secure the goods and services we need. They should also be capable of persuading the business that the CP solutions chosen are the right ones, ensure full alignment with business drivers, be keen to grow and improve their commercial acumen, and enjoy opportunities to work on projects in many different parts of the world.

Supply markets fluctuate continuously, and this makes CP an extremely exciting place to work. It's up to us to predict Shell demand to anticipate market movements, and develop the right approach to source goods and services in a competitive way. Since our energy portfolio is also evolving, CP works closely with all Shell's businesses to develop appropriate supply strategies.
 
CP offers a great opportunity to think about the ways we work with our suppliers and develop innovative approaches to contracting and sourcing strategies to stay technically and commercially competitive.
