Shell graduate roles: what they involve

The open graduate roles are in Information and Digital Technology and Finance, both based in London and structured around two 18 month rotations. The technology role suits graduates interested in digital innovation from technology or adjacent subjects, while the Finance role offers experience across accounting, reporting, business partnering, planning, controls, risk, tax and treasury.

The Trading Intern role involves a real project, support from a supervisor and mentor, constructive feedback and a presentation about the project at the end. It suits an actively enrolled tertiary student who enjoys challenge, analysis, objective decisions, original ideas, resilience and teamwork. The Products Freight Analyst and Credit Portfolio Analyst roles are analyst positions involving market insight, modelling, credit risk and stakeholder advice, rather than graduate scheme descriptions.

How to apply to Shell's graduate scheme

The descriptions provided do not set out Shell's current application stages. As a typical UK process, you may be asked to submit an online application and CV, complete written or online assessments, attend an interview and take part in a final assessment stage. Treat these as possible stages rather than confirmed Shell requirements, and check Shell's careers site for the process attached to the role you want.

For the internship, the description says that a supervisor and mentor support the project, with a presentation and discussion of delivery and performance at its close. That is part of the placement experience, not necessarily selection. Before applying, read each advert carefully, check its eligibility wording and prepare examples showing analysis, teamwork, resilience and how you have handled a difficult task.

Shell visa sponsorship and its sponsor licence

Shell appears on the sponsor register with a Worker A rating and its register entry is in London. The listed routes are Global Business Mobility Graduate Trainee, Global Business Mobility Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. This confirms that Shell holds a licence for those routes, but it does not confirm that any particular graduate, internship or other vacancy is eligible for sponsorship.

International applicants should read the individual advert and ask Shell whether the specific role can be considered under a suitable route. Check the role's requirements, your own immigration position and the latest Home Office guidance on GOV.UK. A sponsor licence is an employer permission to sponsor eligible workers in relevant circumstances, not a promise that every applicant or role will qualify.

How to read this page

A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
