The Advanced Energy Solutions (AES) team within Applied Sciences has been established to drive bp’s research, development, and deployment and innovation agendas in the areas of electrification, energy management and energy systems integration. The team’s purpose, providing innovation for bp’s growth engine businesses, is to position bp to win in these areas by ensuring that bp builds the right key capabilities and places the right technology bets.

You will work collaboratively across entities to provide technology and commercial solutions for bp.
What you will do:
Be the key interface point between technology and commercial planning and decision making. Translate technology potential and risk to enable bold but wise commercial decisions.

Lead as well as support innovation and consultancy programmes and projects, internally and externally, to generate key insights and steer strategic direction.
Integrate relevant technologies and insights to effectively target high value commercial opportunities; identify and progress approaches to manage energy intermittency at multiple scales using various renewable and other energy vectors.
