Stanlow, 4 October 2022: Further to its announcement on 7 July 2022, Essar Oil UK has welcomed eight exceptional individuals to its graduate development programme, as the company continues to invest in the UK energy transition.
After a competitive selection process, the graduates, who begin their three-year graduate development programme yesterday, all come from engineering, technology and finance backgrounds and will rotate between teams every 12 months to develop a breadth of skills and consolidate areas of expertise in the refining sector.
The graduate scheme follows the recruitment of a 19-strong cohort of apprentices to Essar’s 3 ½ year apprenticeship scheme in September. Taken together, the apprenticeship and graduate schemes demonstrate the company’s commitment to investing in the skills and talents needed to deliver on its ambition of being the UK’s first low carbon refinery and of playing a leading role in the North West’s transition to become a low carbon economy.
Jon Barden, Chief Operating Officer of Essar Oil UK, commented:
“I am proud to welcome the arrival of our new intake of graduates yesterday which demonstrates Essar’s commitment to transforming for tomorrow and investing for the future. We look forward to developing our graduates and working with them so that they can immediately play their part as we lead the energy transition in the UK. We are excited to be working with them as they embark on their three-year development programmes here in Stanlow.”
