What It’s Like Working at Shell

Shell organizes its workforce around several business units, including Upstream (oil and gas exploration and production), Integrated Gas (LNG), Trading and Supply, Downstream and Renewables, and Projects and Technology. Roles range from offshore engineering and refinery operations to energy trading, legal, IT and corporate functions. Most experienced-professional vacancies require relevant industry experience, while entry-level and “Early Careers” postings (such as graduate and apprentice programs) are aimed at candidates with little or no prior experience.

A number of Shell’s technical and operations vacancies require a mandatory online assessment (Shell uses HireVue for video-based assessments) as part of the application process, and candidates are advised to check spam folders for assessment invitations.

Shell in Turkey

Shell & Turcas Petrol A.S. operates Shell’s retail, IT and downstream functions in Turkiye. The previously tracked Istanbul-based Information & Digital Technology Manager vacancy (R209033) has closed since this page’s last update, and no new verified Türkiye-based opening is currently listed. Check the official Shell Careers portal, linked above, for newly posted Türkiye roles.
