How do you make the equipment more energy efficient?

 

[Video footage]

How do you operate a turbine to consume less energy?

We need to think of the most energy effective ways

 

[Video footage]

to minimise power consumption.

 

[Video footage]

The company places a strong emphasis on safety,

and our safety practices are world-class standard.

 

[Video footage]

My day to day job is in troubleshooting,

and especially in times of catastrophic equipment failure,

 

[Video footage]

Rina and others at workstation with banks of computer monitors.

 

it's the time when you get to see

everyone really come together as a team.

 

[[Video footage]

Close ups of images on screens.

 

There's no such thing as a hierarchical culture over here,

 

[Video footage]

Rina and work colleague at workstation.

so as long as you have facts and information

 

[Video footage]

Rina outside with backdrop of storage tank.

 

that you can share with the team, everyone is open for discussion.

 

[Video footage]

Rina and female colleague at workstation.

 

You're assigned a buddy or a mentor,

who will guide you through your day to day job,

who will help you in your long term career ambitions

 

[Video footage]

and also if you have any queries about your rotational jobs,

or about your career goals, and long term plans,

you can always feel free to talk to any senior leaders.

There's a half annual review with your line manager

so through this discussion with your line manager,

he will actually inform you what

your strengths and what your weaknesses are

and what are the actions you can take to close these gaps.

So, in such a feedback process, you get to learn more about yourself

 

[Video footage]

and how you are doing in the company.

I think what I like most about the Shell Graduate Programme is

that it exposes me to different rotational roles,

 

[Video footage]

Worker putting on safety gloves and climbing a ladder

 

so I get to try different departments such as Maintenance, Turnaround,

Projects, Engineering Assurance.

 

[Video footage]

And also it sends us on development courses

 

[Video footage]

Close up of someone writing.

 

such as Shell Life, which develops you as an individual leader,

So, on the courses they teach you how to better yourself

in influencing people, in terms of communication,

 

[Video footage]

Rina and female colleague walking along a corridor and then going through a turnstile.

 

and how to bring out the leader in yourself.

Shell helps me to achieve a work-life balance

 

[Video footage]

by having a lot of community and networks in the company.

 

[Video footage]

There are various support groups, such as Nexus,

which is the graduate community, and also the Women's Network

where you can get support from fellow women in Bukom.

And also in Bukom, there are various facilities for the staff to use.

[Female speaker]

‘’We all know the challenges facing not just oil and gas companies but energy companies in general. I wanted to be part of working out that solution.’’

 

[Male speaker]

‘’Right now I'm working on a project which is to do with carbon capture, which is a big deal, because as an energy company I feel we should be contributing and we should be looking into ways of making the ways we produce energy nowadays even more sustainable.’’

Working at Shell

Learning, development and support

 

[Male Shell employee]

Everyone is listened to, from the CEO to the graduate.

 

[Female Shell employee]

You are encouraged to go out there, see what you'd like to learn and why.

 

[Male Shell employee]

It's just a continuous journey of learning.

 

[Female Shell employee]

What I really like about Shell is that they give a lot of opportunities

 

[Female Shell employee]

for new hires to develop yourself.

 

[Female Shell employee]

They very much structure your learning to you and your job

 

[Female Shell employee]

and what your qualities are.

 

[Male Shell employee]

When you start as a graduate,

 

[Male Shell employee]

you will be part of a global graduate scheme,

 

[Male Shell employee]

which is a very structured programme

 

[Male Shell employee]

and one of the best in the industry.

 

[Male Shell employee]

Although it's structured, there is flexibility,

 

[Male Shell employee]

so you can choose and pick a bit, what courses you want to do.

 

[Male Shell employee]

You can also get the opportunity to go on external courses

 

[Male Shell employee]

and go on courses organized

 

[Male Shell employee]

by external universities, professional bodies,

 

[Male Shell employee]

But also there's soft-skills training,

 

[Male Shell employee]

So things like communication and leadership,

 

[Male Shell employee]

which, I think, complement, even for people who are technical, such as engineers,

 

[Male Shell employee]

really complement your development as a professional.

 

[Female Shell employee]

I have a feedback session with my line manager every week

 

[Female Shell employee]

and I show him what my progress is.

 

[Male Shell employee]

They want to let you discover what's right for you in your role.

 

[Male Shell employee]

They're not going to say, "You're going to do this role."

 

[Male Shell employee]

They give you the opportunity to look at different roles and see where you fit in.

 

[Male Shell employee]

And you discuss this with your line manager

 

[Male Shell employee]

who can secure the support and resources for you.

 

[Female Shell employee]

I know for myself working abroad on two of my three placements so far,

 

[Female Shell employee]

It can get a little bit homesick being away,

 

[Female Shell employee]

and the people and my colleagues have helped me through that.

 

[Male Shell employee]

Day in and day out,

 

[Male Shell employee]

you're working with really intelligent, really motivated people

 

[Male Shell employee]

that also really want you to learn and develop as a person.

 

[Female Shell employee]

They're also more than willing to invest time in you,

 

[Female Shell employee]

to invest time in your development in your knowledge learning

 

[Female Shell employee]

to help you really be the best that you can be.

Description:

Shell is a place where you're part of the team, not just a new joiner in the corner, as several people in the Shell Graduate Programme explain. It's a community, young and friendly, where you soon get to know everyone, especially as the social side of work is just as important as putting in the hours. Join Shell if you want to get more out of your working life than you ever imagined possible.

Working at Shell

The social side

 

[Male Shell employee]

You end up with a community

 

[Male Shell employee]

that are all travelling to a new city typically after university,

 

[Male Shell employee]

and so everyone makes a big effort to make new friends,

 

[Male Shell employee]

and it creates a very solid and strong community.

 

[Female Shell employee]

You've almost got this campus feeling.

 

[Female Shell employee]

It's a very young environment

 

[Female Shell employee]

and Shell has a very good social environment.

 

[Male Shell employee]

But also it's very important that you get to meet other graduates

 

[Male Shell employee]

from different areas that you wouldn't normally see,

 

[Male Shell employee]

and that helps to set up those permanent connections

 

[Male Shell employee]

that will help you out in the rest of your career.

 

[Male Shell employee]

There's the Energie Graduate Network,

 

[Male Shell employee]

and that's very involved –

 

[Male Shell employee]

always organising social events that everyone can participate in,

 

[Male Shell employee]

whether they be light-hearted or a development opportunity.

 

[Male Shell employee]

There's a Shell Women's Network, an Experienced Higher Network.

 

[Female Shell employee]

The Asian Network, the African Network, and so forth.

 

[Male Shell employee]

There are opportunities for new graduates

 

[Male Shell employee]

to socialise and network together.

 

[Male Shell employee]

When I first joined,

 

[Male Shell employee]

I found a lot of invitations in my inbox.

 

[Male Shell employee]

Payday pint or bowling, sailing.

 

[Male Shell employee]

They've got a salsa event coming up.

 

[Male Shell employee]

There are Christmas parties, barbecues, summer balls.

 

[Male Shell employee]

A senior engagement, lunch and learn with the leaders.

 

[Male Shell employee]

The opportunities to build a life within Shell,

 

[Male Shell employee]

as well as it just being the place where you work, are immense.

 

[Female Shell employee]

So it's a very friendly environment,

 

[Male Shell employee]

And it’s an environment where after a month you kind of feel like you know everyone
