STAFF APPOINTMENTS Shell offers employment to men and women with degrees in Chemistry, Civil or Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Science, Commerce and Mathematics. There are also a few opportunities for graduates in other subjects, e.g. Economics, Law or Arts. The Shell Group of Companies which operates in more than 100 countries is engaged in New Zealand and throughout the world in the oil and chemicals industries. The rapid development in both these industries requires highly competent and imaginative staff. POSITIONS AVAILABLE Most graduates will initially be employed in Wellington. Each man is appointed to a position best suited to his qualifications, talents and interests, and he will follow a planned programme to enable him to make best use of his knowledge and ability. Employment with Shell is accepted as qualifying for corporate membership of professional Institutions or Societies. Chemists will begin in the Central Laboratory in Wellington on product development and testing, technical service, and the supervision of quality control; they may also be employed in chemicals marketing. Engineers are responsible for the design, development, construction and maintenance of oil storage facilities, processing plants, buildings, pipelines and road tankers. Agricultural Science graduates are appointed to the Shell Agricultural trade organisation, which is responsible for the development and marketing of chemicals for farming. Commerce graduates are employed primarily in Finance, where the responsibilities include quarterly accounts, treasury, taxation, credit, investment, audit, payroll, costing, budgets and management accounting. Shell operates an IBM 360/30 computer which provides opportunities for graduates with the necessary aptitude for systems analysis, programming, operations research etc. Graduates are also employed in marketing and distribution. ADVANCEMENT As well as specialising initially in work for which he is qualified, the graduate will be trained to take a comprehensive view of Shell activities to prepare him for more responsible work. Shell Oil New Zealand Limited is staffed by New Zealanders, of whom the most able may be eligible for promotion to senior positions overseas. With individual recognition, supervision and guidance, each graduate is encouraged to progress towards the most senior position he is capable of filling. His own efforts towards self development may be aided in several ways, including overseas training for the most promising men. Promotion is on merit and from within the Company. SALARIES Recognition of graduate qualifications is given in commencing salaries. It is Shell's policy to offer salaries and conditions of employment (including retirement benefits) at least comparable to those offered by other large firms. VACATION EMPLOYMENT A few vacation jobs are also available in Wellington each summer for students in their second to last year of a degree course in Engineering, Commerce or Chemistry. Preference will be given to those seriously interested in the eventual prospect of a Shell career. Application may be made at any time during the year, but a decision will not normally be made before October or November.
