[Male speaker]

‘’Right now I'm working on a project which is to do with carbon capture, which is a big deal, because as an energy company I feel we should be contributing and we should be looking into ways of making the ways we produce energy nowadays even more sustainable.’’

 

[Male speaker]

‘’Delivering your goals in Shell requires a multi-discipline approach and also a commercial mindset, so I'm regularly working in teams of various sizes, and thinking beyond the technical is a must.’’

[Male speaker]

‘’If you don't want to be inside Engineering all your life, you can go to Commercial, or you can do a Finance or Marketing role.’’
