Civil and Structural Engineer Industrial Placement
If you want work experience that really counts, consider a Civil and Structural Engineer placement with Phillips 66. We’re seeking a student currently studying — or recently graduated with — a degree in Civil and/or Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline, to join us for a one-year industrial placement starting in summer 2026.
Throughout the industrial placement you’ll provide discipline support and technical expertise, contribute to short and long-term strategic planning, support during turnaround activities, and assist in the development and implementation of new projects.

You will be involved in all stages of the project – from initial development, through to detailed design, costing, procurement and installation. You will collaborate with our experienced professionals to contribute to the design, maintenance and development of critical infrastructure, supporting both new projects and asset integrity updates. Should you do well during your time with us, you may be considered for a graduate position upon completion of your degree.
