About the Programme

Join us for the Qatar Shell Summer Internship 2026, a paid 6-8 weeks experience designed to give Qatari engineering students their first real exposure to the energy industry.

Over 6–8 weeks, you will join one of our teams in Ras Laffan or Doha and explore how engineering, technology, and operations come together to power one of the world’s most advanced energy organisations.

Qatar Shell is one of the largest international investors in the country and home to Pearl GTL, the world’s largest Gast Liquids plant. As a summer intern, you will gain hands-on experience in this dynamic environment and observe real operations.

This programme is not an assessment pathway; it is an exploration opportunity. It offers early exposure to the energy industry, a supportive environment to build confidence, and a chance to understand what a future career at Shell could look like.

What You Will Experience

Real Exposure to Engineering & Operations:

• Shadow Shell professionals in areas such as Technology, MTAC, and Engineering.

• Observe real workflows, technical processes, and operational decision‑making.

• Gain insight into Shell’s performance culture, safety commitments, and ways of working.

You will be supported by:

• A Business Supervisor (project & technical guidance)

• A Buddy (day‑to‑day support)

• Regular Check‑ins with HR and Learning teams

Learning & Development

• Safety and business inductions

• Informal learning sessions on Shell case studies, and CAR competency framework.

• Weekly reflections to help you understand your impact and growth

At the end, you will deliver a brief final presentation and receive a Certificate of Completion.
