Students - How to Apply

To apply for any student opportunity with us, we ask you to complete a general application.

Technical graduates are assessed across all four criteria listed below. Only capacity, achievement, and relationship competencies are assessed for commercial graduates.

Capacity: You’ll need to bring the intellectual, analytical and creative ability to learn quickly, identify issues, make judgements and propose solutions

Achievement: We’ll expect plenty of enthusiasm, resilience and confidence – you’ll be someone who can always get things done

Relationship skills: You should have the character and ability to work effectively with others in a diverse team

Technical skills: Understanding and approaching technical issues coupled with an enthusiasm for technical challenge.

You can apply using Shell's online application system. After creating your profile, you will be required to complete three pre-registration questions to assess eligibility for Student opportunities. The next step is to select the opportunity you wish to apply for, and then complete the application form, attaching your CV/resume.

Once you have submitted the application form and CV/resume there will be a short questionnaire to complete.

When Shell has received your completed form and questionnaire, your application will then be available for consideration.

We'll confirm that we have received your details within 48 hours of submission.

Apply for the Gourami Business Challenge

Apply for an Internship

Please note that Shell (nor any of the organisations that recruit on our behalf) never ask for any money or payments from applicants, at any point in the recruitment process. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from Shell, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process.

We'll let you know whether you'll be invited to the interview stage approximately two weeks after receiving your completed application.

The interview will take place either face-to-face or over the telephone. We'll be assessing how you perform against the criteria listed above. At the end of the interview, you'll have the chance to ask us some questions of your own - about the role, the culture, work environment or any other area of interest to you.

This is an opportunity for you to tell us more about your achievements, the challenges you've faced and how you've demonstrated the qualities we're looking for.

If we think you’re the right match for us, we’ll make you an offer for an internship or the Gourami Business Challenge and then begin to finalise the arrangements with you.

Throughout your time on the Gourami Business Challenge or the Internship, we’ll be assessing your performance and development through a structured review process.
