Job Description:

Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate.

About the role

As part of a high-performing intelligence team supporting a global energy company, the ISC Operations Intelligence Operator monitors, assesses and reports on global events and incidents, playing a critical role in the organisation's response to emerging risks and crises.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience within a global organisation operating in challenging and complex environments, with exposure to intelligence analysis, operational response, crisis management and emerging technologies.
