Join us as a Shell Assessed Intern and become part of shaping the future of energy

A Shell Assessed Internship is your opportunity to explore the world of energy from the inside. You’ll gain first-hand experience, discover how our business works, and get a clearer sense of the career path that inspires you most.

During your internship, you’ll be fully immersed in real projects--carefully matched to your interests, skills, and career goals. You’ll be an integral member of a project team, working alongside Shell professionals who are leaders in their fields. Their guidance and insights will help you understand the challenges, rewards, and impact of the work we do.

This is more than an internship--it's a chance to grow, contribute, and make meaningful progress toward a more sustainable future.

A supervisor and a mentor will support you directly and you’ll undertake regular assessments throughout your internship to ensure you get the most from the experience. As part of the Assessed Internship, you’ll have a formal mid-term review with your supervisor and mentor. At the close of your internship, you will be asked to prepare a presentation about your project and there will be discussion on project delivery and performance by your supervisor and mentor.

• A real project with a significant level of business impact.
• Discovering which skills you need to develop, through constructive feedback.
• Developing valuable networks and contracts for future career opportunities.

You should enjoy being challenged--seeing difficult tasks not as obstacles, but as opportunities to think creatively and innovate. It’s important that you can absorb information quickly, analyse problems effectively, make objective decisions, and develop original ideas. You’ll need the drive and resilience to follow through on your goals, the flexibility to work collaboratively within a team, and the confidence and credibility to influence others.
