2027 Graduate European Commercial Programme
This is a register of interest only and is not a formal application. Should applications reopen, we will contact you to confirm your interest and can quickly proceed with your application.
The Graduate Opportunity
The INEOS Graduate programme is an early year career development programme designed to fast-track graduates into future leadership positions. Working predominantly in our petrochemical businesses, the programme sets graduates on a path towards a successful career in the commercial sector.
Over five years, you will undertake three distinct roles in key positions across various INEOS businesses, functions, and European countries. Each role is integral to the business it is based in and is carefully selected for its developmental potential. Spanning one to two years, these roles allow you to gain comprehensive knowledge and make meaningful contributions within the respective business area.
Each role you undertake will present you with new challenges, offering a diverse breadth of experiences and the chance to build vital networks for future leadership roles. We believe that exposure to different cultures is crucial in international business and our aim is for two of your rotations to be abroad.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
