Petrofac: does its two year graduate programme across projects, functions sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyTwo year graduate programme across projects, functions and roles, plus wider early careers entry

Unconfirmed. Petrofac publishes no sponsorship policy for its two year graduate programme across projects, functions, so we cannot state a firm answer. Petrofac is an oilfield services and energy engineering group with a large Aberdeen and Woking presence. Its graduate programme runs two years and moves graduates across a variety of projects, functions and roles with mentors and colleagues supporting them, rather than through a fixed rotation pattern. What Petrofac publishes instead of a rotation diagram is the shape of the cohort: 165 graduates in the last intake, 14 nationalities represented, a 50 50 split between women and men, and more than 1,500 graduates through the programme since it began. The nationality spread is worth noting because it is a fact about who Petrofac has hired, not a statement of immigration policy, and Petrofac publishes nothing about visa sponsorship either way. There is no published application window, no salary and no stated degree requirement on the early careers page. Applications run through the main Petrofac job portal.

“Our graduates embark on a two-year journey and experience a variety of projects, functions, and roles, supported by their mentors and colleagues along the way.”

The catch: The 14 nationalities figure describes a global intake across Petrofac's Middle East, Asia and UK operations, not a UK cohort. It should not be read as evidence that the UK programme takes international applicants.
