Pipeline, Flow Assurance and Subsea Engineering
Pipelines, Flow Assurance and Subsea Engineers provide technical support to the design and delivery of new projects, maintenance and surveillance of existing assets.
The Shell Graduate Programme
As a technical graduate, you’ll embark on a two-year training programme that offers talented individuals a comprehensive introduction to various areas of Shell’s business and operations within the Technical area of the Shell Graduate Programme. It’s a robust platform from which those keen to become pioneers in their chosen field can establish a long and fulfilling career.
Joining the Programme you’ll work alongside the industry’s leading technical experts and visionaries, and could gain experience on some of Shell’s most groundbreaking engineering projects. Within Shell you will find a supportive work environment, working with teams across the globe. You’ll be encouraged to take an innovative approach, while developing your skills and technical capabilities.
Pipeline, Flow Assurance and Subsea Engineering
Pipelines, Flow Assurance and Subsea Engineers provide technical support to the design and delivery of new projects, maintenance and surveillance of existing assets. The three streams of the discipline work very closely together and the work is stimulating. For example, our pipelines span deserts, mountains and deep sea, and operations become more innovative every year. In Flow Assurance, you could be tasked with identifying the right combinations of thermo-hydraulics and injected chemicals to optimise flow and create safe operating procedures.
As a graduate you’ll be working in Subsea Engineering responsible for delivering complex deep-sea equipment and pushing technical frontiers in fields as diverse as materials science to motor design.
