Technology- Digital Design (UX/UI) Internship Programme (Mar 2025)

Job description:

Are you in?  
Our digital design team is working to humanize digital innovation in bp. We use design to help people engage with our company and with digital technology in new ways, empowering better experiences, safer operations and a more sustainable future. By joining our team, you will have access to resources from one of the world's largest technology departments and exposure to design projects across the breadth of bp global operations.

About the roles

You’ll have the chance to work on a variety of different projects within our digital design teams – giving you end-to-end experience within a modern and pioneering design studio where you can really develop your user experience (UX) and/or user interface (UI) design skills.

• Day-to-day activities will depend on which of the five design roles you rotate across: 
• Our product and service design experts shape the design aspects of a digital product, covering UX / UI to a website, platform or mobile application. They also integrate and connect all aspects of digital products and services, including design thinking. 
• If you enjoy writing, storytelling or visual design, working within digital content design would be an ideal fit. This team owns and develops content for bp’s digital solutions and tools, including copywriting, content strategy, digital marketing, and graphic design (e.g., print, digital, photography, and video). 
• Our designs are only successful if supported by effective research. The UX research team oversees and plans research aspects of design and user experience to add valuable insights to design processes. This includes measuring the user experience by collecting feedback, analyzing trends, and conducting usability testing. 
• If design engineering is your future, you’ll have an opportunity to help define the technology, tools, architecture, and engineering for design in bp. This is a broad and interesting domain, that combines design creativity with developer skills to execute full-stack design for digital outputs, including pattern libraries, frameworks, and mobile interfaces. 
• Within design operations, you’ll have an opportunity to coordinate design projects and support operational delivery. This team plans and executes all design operations and design business engagements with key stakeholders, as well as scopes design requests and studio resourcing. 

You will be working on projects with real impact on our business. You’ll be placed in a team that best matches your skillset and ambitions and be an integral part of the team’s success. Over the course of the internship program you can expect your duties and responsibilities to include:  

• Working on projects and supporting your team to find the best solutions   
• Helping to maintain performance within your team and for bp as a company   
• Building relationships both within bp and with our external partners, collaborating across functions, segments, and teams to deliver great work   
• You’ll also be encouraged to find out as much as possible about other teams, disciplines, and operations to broaden your understanding of the bp business 

During this assessed internship you’ll get continuous feedback and guidance on how to plan and deliver your project, along with advice on what to look for and who to talk to. Successful interns may get an opportunity to rejoin as a graduate the following year
