About Us

Located approximately 35km south-west of Perth, the Kwinana Refinery started operations in 1955. It is the only oil refinery in Western Australia and, with a crude refining capacity of 146 KBD, it is the largest oil refinery in Australia. The refinery employs about 450 staff and, when in steady-state operations, about 300 contractors. On-going investment in refining technology has resulted in it being Australia's most flexible refinery, capable of producing cleaner fuels such as BP Ultimate. Through manufactured products or imports, the refinery supplies most of Western Australia's fuel needs.

Pros and cons of working at BP Australia

Pros

  • Flexibility and work-life balance Support, you feel like a member of the team Variety in work content and the opportunity to develop and be challenged.

  • Exciting industry to be in.

  • Culture - everyone is very friendly and supportive (personally and professionally).

  • Some nice people here.

  • Flexibility, very friendly atmosphere.

Cons

    • Some cultural aspects, such as safety attitudes.

    • Minimal transparency on opportunities being available.

    • Depending on what team you are in you may be required to do a significant amount of work that does not utilise your tertiary level of education (typical of teams that do not have well established roles for graduates). I do understand though that someone has to do this work and a graduate is the most likely candidate...but it should not dominate in terms of time.

    • Graduate work is quite unfulfilling; lack of openness to fresh ideas.

    • Slightly bureaucratic.
