Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved working on my internship project on a day to day basis, which was the main task over the duration of my internship. Alongside that, I integrated with the Wells discipline activities, and there is the opportunity to get involved with projects beyond your discipline and team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I believe that I was given a large amount of responsibility as an intern at bp. The project I worked on would contribute to the business and add value to the operations of bp. This meant that I was responsible for something that would be used beyond my internship and by others in the team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of support during my internship. Having a supervisor and line manager meant I had two official points of contact. However the Wells Interventions team in Aberdeen were very supportive in helping me settle in and answer any questions I may have had. There is a great culture of caring for one another and this was clearly evident during my internship.
