Opportunity Expired
Current openings include Nature-Based Solutions Researcher, Hydrogen Supply Chain Researcher, Fluid Flow Researcher, Propylene Oxide Derivatives (PODER) Researcher. Job descriptions are below.
Shell’s purpose is to power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions. We believe that rising standards of living for a growing global population are likely to continue to drive demand for energy, including oil and gas, for years to come. At the same time, technology changes and the need to tackle climate change means there is a transition underway to a lower-carbon, multi-source energy system.
As one of the world’s leading energy companies, Shell plays a key role in meeting the world’s growing energy demand in economically, environmentally, and socially responsible ways. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the energy industry. Join us in our ambition to be a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, and sooner if that is possible.
You will embark on a three-year Development Programme tailored to your chosen area, enabling you to develop your leadership qualities and become an accomplished Shell professional while keeping your creative flair alive.
Right from the start, you will be given a challenging hands-on role, working in a diverse, global environment. You will be supervised and mentored with frequent reviews as part of a structured development programme. You will also be learning alongside brilliant people from all over the world with the resources and support to explore new ways of thinking and working for a globally recognized brand tackling globally significant changes.
Ambitious graduates to help us tackle the energy challenge.
You must have completed PhD from a recognized university with less than 3 years of work experience.
There are no specific academic requirements for grades at A level or GCSE equivalents. However, we do expect candidates to have a strong academic record.
Above all else, you should enjoy being challenged, so that rather than being daunted or overwhelmed if a task seems impossible, you welcome the opportunity to be innovative. You also need to be good at absorbing information, analysing problems, making objective decisions and coming up with original ideas. You should have the drive, confidence and resilience to get things done, the flexibility to work well as part of a team, and the credibility to influence others.
As Shell seeks to reduce its carbon footprint, you will develop and implement solutions that will enable Shell to thrive in the Energy Transition. The avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions and capture & storage of CO2 by biomass in natural ecosystems underpins our Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) business which enables our customers to decarbonise. You will deliver the R&D upon which this business, and Shell’s Net Carbon Footprint (NCF) reduction ambitions, depend.
You will give expert support to the rapidly growing NBS activities across Shell, including helping the NBS business to achieve its goals. There is also a significant R&D programme in this area. The scope of this work is global, with a special focus on key regions where Shell’s NBS businesses are pursuing opportunities including the US, EU, India, Africa and Brazil.
You will ensure that Shell maintains a current and insightful position on NBS types and potentials, including forestry, wetlands & peat, grasslands, agriculture as well as “blue carbon” (marine and littoral environments). This will require a broad knowledge in one of the areas from agronomy/crop production, forestry/agroforestry, soil sciences, coastal ecology, etc. You will also maintain and develop expertise in sustainability issues such as ecosystems services, carbon intensity, and water - as well as the emerging legislative environment and voluntary carbon markets in which Shell NBS business must operate. You will be engaged in internal and external research programs, focusing on analysis, forecasting and due diligence on investable opportunities for NBS projects.
Your responsibilities will include the designing and implementation of experimental programs as well as collaborating with colleagues on, remote sensing, GIS, LCA modelling, ecosystem services, environmental regulations and policy. The successful candidate will be expected to work with Shell scientists and engineers globally, with external partners and with Shell’s NBS businesses.
You will bring deep technical expertise in one or more areas from NBS, agriculture, agronomy, soil sciences, forestry, agroforestry, ecology, ecosystems services, coastal ecology, or a related field. When it comes to nurturing collaborative stakeholder relations with other Shell businesses and with external technology partnerships, it’s your excellent people skills that will make the difference. A learner mindset, transparency and sharing data and lessons will be essential. You will need to demonstrate a commitment to Health, Safety, Security and Environment including fieldwork in the natural environment.
In the Technology organization specifically in the team with a wide range of experts over the different areas of hydrogen production, hydrogen transport and hydrogen distribution and retailing. The emphasis in the Hydrogen Supply Chain is on liquefaction technology for hydrogen and low carbon ammonia supply chain technologies. Another important element in completing the hydrogen value chain technologies to develop the business case is the role of hydrogen pipelines and the role of large-scale hydrogen storage, in order to supply end-use markets for hydrogens, such as mobility markets and industrial use of hydrogen and its carriers.
As the Researcher H2 Supply Chain, you will play a significant role in creating future energy options for Shell. The role aims to develop options for further scale-up and integration of the hydrogen production/supply, liquid hydrogen and ammonia side of the value chain. As well as the further validation of the business case of ammonia and liquid hydrogen against expected demand roll-out and the techno-economic analysis of alternative, competing options in this space, including gaseous hydrogen play a key role for hydrogen pipelines for onshore and offshore hydrogen production sites. The role will also require working knowledge on other hydrogen technologies in the value chain in order to facilitate optimum and close collaboration with other team members in this team and the hydrogen production teams. The role is responsible for overseeing and managing project ideation funnels serving as project lead in the maturation stage.
It is your experience in the field of hydrogen and ammonia technologies to drive a dynamic R&D environment in the Hydrogen Supply Chain, Storage and Mobility space, in also closely collaborating with internal P&T experts, as well as stakeholders in the conventional and Renewable Energy and Solutions business.
Furthermore, you will have:
The position of Researcher Fluid Flow is an exciting opportunity within Shell’s Technology department to solve the most challenging fluid flow projects for our Renewables and Energy Solutions, Integrated Gas, Downstream, and Upstream businesses. The work will involve a mix of R&D projects that enable and enhance Shell’s position in the energy transition, as well as technical service projects that support Shell’s assets and developments. We are looking for a person with a strong modelling background in the areas of multiphase fluid flow and Computational Fluid Dynamics, who will work as an individual contributor in a global team.
You will be part of the global Fluid Flow and Reactor Engineering team with staff in Houston, Amsterdam, and the largest group in Bengaluru. Your colleagues mostly have PhD or M.S. degrees with a modelling or experimental background in the areas of fluid flow and reactor engineering who make use of advanced computational tools and state-of-the-art experimental equipment to carry out their own R&D activities, support other research groups within Shell, and provide the world-class differentiating capability to projects and assets across the globe.
