INEOS

A global manufacturer of chemicals, INEOS has established itself over the last 20 years as one of the world’s leading chemical companies, and we are continuing to grow. Through strategic acquisitions and revitalising otherwise unloved assets, the business has flourished in an ever-changing, increasingly competitive marketplace.

Our businesses produce the raw materials that are essential in the manufacture of a wide variety of goods: from paints to plastics, textiles to technology, medicines to mobile phones. And our products make a significant contribution to saving life, improving health, and enhancing standards of living for people around the world.

Sustainability is fundamental to how we do business, using innovative ideas and processes to increase capacity, while reducing energy used in the petrochemical processes. INEOS is part of the solution to the challenges the world faces. We are committed to achieving a net zero economy whilst continuing to deliver products which are essential to society.

Our benefits

Our five-year European Commercial Graduate Programme is designed to give you a breadth of experience early in your career. Based throughout some of our European sites (Germany, Belgium, France, and UK) you will typically move into a new role every two years – this will involve moving between countries, INEOS businesses, and functions. Some of the different areas you could work in include: Supply Chain, Logistics, Trading & Shipping, Procurement, Operations and Business Development.

Each role will provide you with a new challenge and hands-on training. Individual guidance and support by a mentor, soft skills training, and corporate events will enable you to gain a wide range of experience and networks essential for career development. 

We believe in a rewarding place to work. We encourage a proper work-life balance and place a large emphasis on “healthy body, healthy mind”.
