Petrofac, one of the leading service providers to the international oil and gas industry, has launched its 2019 global graduate programme as part of its commitment to supporting and developing young talent
Since launching its graduate programme in 2004, Petrofac has employed 1,500 graduates. The company also aims to enhance its already diverse workforce by encouraging graduates from across the world to apply for this year’s programme.
Through the Petrofac Academy – the company’s in-house Centre of Excellence for employee and career development – successful candidates will undergo a four-year structured programme whilst working in the business. Alongside technical training in their chosen discipline, graduates will have the opportunity to develop their skills through on-the-job learning, often on live projects. Additionally, they will have access to support to create tailored development plans.
Ayman Asfari, group chief executive, said, “Our global workforce comprises more than 80 nationalities across 30 countries. We are a people business, so our talent makes us who we are and sets us apart from our competition.”
“The entire oil and gas industry is working hard to reverse a historical gender imbalance and skills gap. At Petrofac we are committed to playing our part by ensuring our graduate programme embraces diversity of ethnicity, nationality and gender,” Asfari added.
“The combination of structured learning and on-the-job training in live project environments will give candidates excellent exposure to the business and stand them in good stead for their future development in the company. I look forward to welcoming the next generation of talent into the business later this year and watching their progression.”
