Introduction
ExxonMobil’s UK operations form part
of the world’s leading petroleum and
petrochemical company. We’re also
part of a global business that is worth
more than a staggering £218 billion by
market capitalisation – which means
that we’re the second most valuable
company in the world.
Does that mean that we can offer
an incredible array of graduate
opportunities? Undoubtedly.
Does that mean that we have the
wealth of resources to underpin
your personal and professional
development? Absolutely.
Instead, you’ll be working on live
projects, taking on unusual levels
of responsibility for a graduate. And
you’ll be following a career path that is
unique to you – and powered by you.
It will be an intense couple of years for
certain, but the opportunities that will
unfold in our global business will make
it extremely worthwhile.
So, are you ready to be ExxonMobil?
Take a closer look at our business and
the schemes we offer...
Exxon Mobil Corporation
Does that mean that graduates
become lost in a big, faceless
corporate machine? Definitely not.
• World energy leader for
over a century
People matter at ExxonMobil. They
are ExxonMobil. Their needs and
those of the business are inextricably
linked. And each and every one of our
people plays their part in helping us
take on the world’s toughest energy
challenges – meeting the needs of
a growing population while reducing
greenhouse emissions and minimising
the impact on the environment.
• 10 separate companies
in upstream, downstream
and chemicals
There are no easy solutions to the
challenge, but whatever your role
at ExxonMobil, you’ll be helping to
find them. It will mean being full-on
right from the start. You’ll be training
but you won’t have a trainee tag.

Exxon Mobil Corporation is the world’s

the industry itself. Headquartered in

That’s why we continue to invest
billions every year in new energy
development and technologies. In

our first exploration activities in 1964,
we have invested over £32.2 billion at
today’s prices in the UK’s offshore oil
and gas industry.
But not only are we investing in the
global energy industry and the UK
economy, we are investing heavily in
new talent.
Talented people like you.

brands lies an outstanding record
as a technological innovator and a

Opportunties
Any big company can offer you a
career. We’re offering more than that.
Your contribution will matter to the
energy industry and communities all
over the world. So you’ll matter to us.
Whether your strengths lie on
the technical or commercial
sides of our business, every day
will be intellectually challenging.
Responsibility will be immediate,
with job rotations giving you the
opportunity to test and develop your
skills, and constantly add to your
knowledge base. We’ll encourage
you to take the initiative. You’ll be
empowered to think independently
and expected to articulate your ideas.
You’ll be given every chance to
perform as an individual, but you
won’t be alone. ExxonMobil offers a
truly integrated workplace. Everyone
knows their own jobs, but we achieve
more when we work together.
We pride ourselves on our strong
leadership and supportive culture. A
range of training and development
programmes will be provided to equip
you with the skills to become one of
our future leaders. You’ll have a buddy
for guidance as you find your feet, and
you’ll constantly find yourself learning
from experts in their fields.
At the end of your two-year graduate
scheme, a whole host of options will
become available. Just because you
join us in one area doesn’t mean you
can’t make the transition to another
part of the business. For instance,
engineers aren’t pigeon-holed into
engineering roles – many have
embarked on successful careers in
business functions. And since we
have operations in 77 countries, the
prospects for international projects
are outstanding.
So, are you a well-rounded individual
who can combine academic
achievement with plenty of interests
outside the classroom? Do you
embrace a new challenge and
then look for the next one? Are you
enthused and inspired by the thought
of working in the energy industry?
Do you love coming up with new
ideas and sharing them with others?
Then become ExxonMobil – our
present and our long-term future.

Graduate opportunities at ExxonMobil in the UK & Ireland 10
As a graduate engineer, you’ll be
joining a highly focused and highly
skilled team. A network of mentors
and experienced engineers will ensure
that you settle smoothly and quickly
into your job, giving you support and
advice when required.
Engineers are the backbone of our
manufacturing process, and you’ll be
involved in decision-making from the
start, as you take on a constant flow
of challenges that are as satisfying
as they are stretching. You could find
yourself working on a major capital
project to increase unit capacity
or reliability, or implementing new
initiatives to improve site safety.
Alternatively, you could be providing
technical support as part of a team on
a unit ensuring on-grade production
meets market demand.
As you progress, you could become
involved in project development and
commissioning, plant troubleshooting
and operations planning. Since we
operate refining and chemical facilities
in a large number of countries,
there will also be plenty of scope
for overseas assignments in either a
technical or supervisory role.
Great emphasis will be placed on
building your technical knowledge
and engineering skills – and
your ability to apply them in
practical situations. Technical
and commercial training courses
held at locations in Europe,
coupled with on-the-job experience
in our fast-paced, hands-on
environment, will provide a solid
platform for career development.
Our training programme is IChemE
and IMechE accredited and our aim
is to help you achieve Chartered
status within four years.

“My prime objective is to maintain the

about ExxonMobil is the responsibility given
to graduates. When I came on board,
I found myself managing the sale of jet fuel
to a portfolio of 30 airlines, from dealing
with an initial price request to closing the

“The system will give employees control over
their personal data, enabling updates to be
made in real time, 24/7. The project has
been a great learning experience for me
and I have enjoyed working with colleagues
across the globe. My first role was in
Recruitment. My team was based in Prague
and I was fortunate to have regular trips,
which helped me to get to know them better.
I was involved in everything from researching
different methods to advertise our vacancies
to developing promotional materials. Now
I’m an HR generalist, advising internal clients
on employee issues, facilitating training
and getting involved in ad hoc projects.
I love the variety.”

“As Campus Ambassador, you’re the link
between your university and ExxonMobil.
The role gives you great opportunities to
show off your organisational skills and meet
ExxonMobil employees, some of whom
could end up being your colleagues one day.
Being Campus Ambassador helped me
secure an Industrial Placement Student role
at Fawley refinery – and subsequently a
permanent role on the graduate development
programme. The placement was invaluable.
It gave me a shot at showing the company
that I could really apply the knowledge
gained at university. But above all, being
Campus Ambassador is great fun.”

Campus Ambassador
As a major graduate recruiter, we
have always looked at innovative ways
to forge strong links with student
communities. Campus Ambassadors
are undergraduates, usually in their
third year or higher, who act as a
go-between for the ExxonMobil
recruitment team and students at their
respective universities.
Campus Ambassadors are expected to
show commitment and effort, but they
get a lot back in return. The role involves
promoting ExxonMobil across campus.
This could mean pitching a presentation
for sponsorship, planning and hosting
a networking dinner, or organising a
team for the ExxonMobil Engineering
Challenge (EMEC) – see page 31.
We run regular Campus Ambassador
Workshops at which we get feedback
from Campus Ambassadors on
how best to get our name across on
campus, and it’s also an opportunity
for them to learn from each other.
Campus Ambassadors are expected
to have direct involvement or strong
links with their course student
society – for example, in Chemical
or Mechanical Engineering. They
are adept at organising and building
relationships, balancing a fun
outlook on life with a serious take
on career development.
If your university doesn’t have a
Campus Ambassador and you
would like to develop a relationship
with us, why not put yourself
