FAQS

How long before i hear anything?

We’ll send you an acknowledgement when we receive your details and you should hear from us within two weeks.

Can i apply if i have a disability?

Yes. We are an equal opportunities employer. If you have a disability, we’ll provide additional support through the application process and beyond.

I have received a job offer email from you asking for money, is this real?

We never ask candidates for money and we only always use the @ineos.com email address. If you receive an email claiming to be from us, asking you for money, do not respond to it. If you believe you’re been scammed or handed over money you should contact your local police.

Can i have feedback on my application?

You will have the opportunity to be provided with feedback if unsuccessful at our final stage.

I have already graduated; can i apply to the graduate programme?

The requirements for any graduate entry positions will be specified in the advert so you should check there. Generally though, we will accept applications from recent graduates. 

How long does the assessment process take?

This will vary depending on the role you are applying for, but for the core programmes the process normally lasts for around three months.

Is there a deadline for submitting an application?

Deadlines will be clearly stated on the job posting. We do sometimes recruit on a rolling basis, or close the application window early if we have a high volume of candidates, so we advise trying to get your application in early to avoid disappointment.

Do you offer any internships/work placements?

We offer various internships, and will sometimes recruit our graduates directly from our summer internships. 

Is there any relocation support available?

Yes, relocation support is offered which will cover the costs of your move if appropriate.

Will I receive language support if I am moved to a different country?

Yes you will. In the vast majority of our offices, English is the working language, but knowing the local language will help you assimilate more easily at work and outside. Some of our employees have ended up fluent and conducting business meetings in the local language, but this is not a requirement. 

I want to apply to the engineering graduate programme. Will I move around different businesses and countries too?

As an engineer you are likely to complete the graduate programme in one location, gaining experience and progressing by working on different units/assets and possibly within different businesses too. If you are mobile, there will be opportunities for you to move businesses and countries to develop yourself further, particularly if you aspire to leadership positions in engineering/operations.

I am an engineer and want to start my career in engineering. Does that mean I will be pigeon holed as an engineer and cannot move into commercial roles?

Certainly not. INEOS does not pigeon hole people and constrain their development and ambition. Many of our employees in commercial functions have an engineering background and engineering is an excellent background for many roles within INEOS.

5 years is a long time for a graduate programme - will i experience any career progression?

Yes - the programme is designed to develop you by offering on the job training, corporate events, access to senior managers, and working in a variety of roles.
