With a guaranteed international placement, you really can go the distance.

Look closer at BG Group, and you’ll see there’s much more to us than you might think. That’s not just in terms of what we do and how we do it, we have a unique approach to graduate careers too. So what sets BG Group apart from the rest?

We’ll take you further

Lots of organisations talk about the possibility of international exposure. At BG Group, it’s a lot more concrete than that. With us, our graduates get to experience at least one overseas placement during their two year programme. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We have a presence in more than 25 different countries, and in the long-term there's potential for you to work in any one of them.

We’ll give you responsibility, right from the outset

We look for graduates who can contribute from the word go. People who can hit the ground running, make decisions and contribute to real projects with real outcomes. It wouldn’t be unusual for you to head off straight to another country, and to quite a few more after that. That’s not to say you won’t be supported – it’s just that you’ll never be held back.

We’ll give you even more responsibility after just two years

Our programme is shorter than many and for good reason. We want you to make the transition from graduate to experienced industry professional quickly. We don’t stand still as a business, and when it comes to developing your career, neither will you. In fact, how fast you develop and how far will be entirely down to you, your performance and your own ambition.

We’ll give you first class training

It's a steep learning curve, but it’s one that will see you well placed to take advantage of all sorts of opportunities moving forward. If you join us in one of our technical areas, it will cover the technical side of things (and it will cover them so well that it will contribute to your chartered status), but we think it’s just as important that you have the right personal skills too.

We’ll never treat you like a number

We’re big, but we’re not so big that you’ll ever be seen as one of many. And our size has another advantage too. We’re able to see opportunities – and move on them – faster than most of our competitors. It means you can expect to get much closer to the work that matters, much sooner. You’ll also have access to top level management and world leading experts.

We have our own distinct culture

We’re not a huge faceless organisation with the kind of corporate culture that goes with that. We all share the same pioneering spirit, but we’re also free to be ourselves. And we’re diverse – there are around 6 000 of us from 65 different nationalities.
