- Create an account on the SLB careers platform or sign in if you already have an account.
- Prepare an updated CV containing your academic qualifications, NYSC information, relevant technical skills and work experience, where applicable.

Who Should Apply?
These opportunities are not open to every graduate. Each position has specific academic and professional requirements, so applicants should select the role that matches their qualifications.
Engineering graduates who meet the required degree classification and NYSC conditions should consider the Graduate Technical Internships. Graduates of Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Procurement and related disciplines may consider the Logistics Specialist Intern position. Candidates with a Geoscience background who have completed NYSC may consider the Sales Support Intern vacancy.
Applicants should not submit inaccurate academic information or claim qualifications they do not possess. Ensure that the information in your CV agrees with the details entered in the online application form.
Application Deadline
No specific closing date is displayed in the vacancy information provided for these SLB internship opportunities. Applicants are therefore advised to apply as soon as possible while the official application pages remain active.
The availability of a vacancy on the careers website does not mean that applications will remain open indefinitely. SLB may close a recruitment exercise when the application period ends or when the position is no longer available.
Important Recruitment Notice
SLB warns applicants about recruitment fraud. The company will not ask candidates to pay money or make personal payments at any stage of its recruitment process. Do not pay an individual, agent or social media account claiming to have access to SLB recruitment officials or promising guaranteed selection.
Applicants should also be careful with unofficial application links and messages requesting sensitive personal or banking information. Use the official SLB careers website to review vacancies and submit applications.
Final Advice to Applicants
Before applying, take time to compare your qualifications with the requirements of the specific internship. For example, a candidate with a degree in Business Administration may be suitable for the Logistics Specialist Intern position if the other requirements are met, but that qualification does not automatically make the candidate eligible for the technical engineering tracks.
Likewise, candidates applying for the Graduate Technical Internships should pay close attention to the required qualification level, academic classification, NYSC completion and graduation period. Meeting these conditions is important before proceeding with an application.
These internships offer an opportunity for eligible graduates to gain exposure to the operations of a global energy technology company. Interested candidates should read the full vacancy descriptions and apply through the appropriate official links.
