About The Company
We aim to thrive through the global energy transition with a low-cost, lower-carbon, profitable, resilient and diversified portfolio. Our recently expanded global portfolio includes quality oil and gas assets and interests in Australia, the Gulf of Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Senegal, Timor-Leste, Canada and Barbados. Our focus in operations remains on safety, reliability, efficiency and environmental performance, leveraging more than 35 years of operating experience. We have growth opportunities across our three pillars of gas, oil and new energy. Woodside Energy LinkedIn followers, please be aware that we have recently seen a spike in fraudulent job advertisements and LinkedIn profiles claiming to be from our Human Resources team. We are working to have these removed and ask you to report any suspicious looking posts or accounts to Woodside at gradcareers@woodside.com.au We have also seen offers of employment mailed to job seekers by individuals or organisations posing as Woodside. Importantly, communications about employment opportunities with Woodside will only ever be sent from email addresses ending in woodside.com.au or woodside.com. We will also never make unsolicited jobs offers or seek payment from job applicants. For more information about how to spot fraudulent Woodside recruitment activity, go to our careers page.
About the Role

About Woodside Energy

We know great results come from our people feeling valued, getting the support they need to reach their full potential and working in a positive work environment. We recognise that enduring, meaningful relationships with communities are fundamental to maintaining our licence to operate.

 

Technology and innovation are essential to our long-term sustainability. We are growing our carbon and new energy businesses using technology to reduce emissions and the carbon footprint of our products. We are working to improve energy efficiency, offset emissions, reduce emissions intensity and explore options for lower-carbon energy. Woodside led the development of the LNG industry in Australia and is applying this same pioneering spirit to solving future energy challenges globally.
