Job postings were already announced over a month ago, in December 2023. The company expects to have a 400+ strong team by the end of 2024. The size of the team is expected to expand to at least a 1000 in the next couple of years.

Giovanni Cristofoli, senior vice president for bp solutions, is excited at the acceleration of the “transformation of how we do engineering in bp. India’s large technical talent pool and successful track record of establishing global capability centres across a broad range of industries positions it as an ideal destination for the hub. bp will benefit from accessing talent across all engineering disciplines to meet our current and future demand.”
