Being at the forefront of the energy industry
EDDIE WANG, ENGINEERING INTERN, CANADA
How did you first discover the Shell Assessed Internship Programme?
I first learnt about the Assessed Internship
Programme when I was working as a
contractor at the Shell Scotford Refinery. The
collaborative culture and safety mind­set
caught my attention. I decided to pursue
another internship opportunity with Shell
because I believe my ideas will accelerate
under Shell’s inclusive and innovative
environment. I will be able to widen my
expertise and gain first hand oil & gas
experience working on a variety of Shell
projects.
If Shell were a person, I would describe him as
a bright and passionate person who helps
propel your career. This is why I have decided
to keep on running my journey with Shell.
What do you remember most about your first day at Shell?
Shell has impressed me in how well organised and structured the on­boarding process was on the
first day. All the interns gathered together for breakfast and then we had a very comprehensive
orientation. The internship advisor provided us with valuable information that helped us to
transition into our roles. Everyone involved in the on­boarding process truly eased our entry into
the new organisation.
What do you love about your role?
I enjoy the feeling of being at the forefront of the energy industry. I love and thrive performing
challenging tasks that a full time employee would do. Shell offers an incredibly supportive
mentoring programme. They assign you a buddy and a mentor right from the start. You also
have a supervisor who’s always there to support you and guide you in the direction that you need
to go. I also have outstanding opportunities to develop my professional and leadership skills in
my role.
If you were a Superhero and your specialty was energy what would be your
special power and why?
If I were an energy superhero, my special power would be the ability to build pipelines across the
country instantly. I want to build pipeline infrastructure to improve the ability to transport
Canadian natural resources to world markets in the most economical, efficient and safest way
possible.
Through your internship have you been inspired to continue with a career in the
energy industry? What’s next for you?
Growing up in Canada’s energy capital, I was always interested in the big picture of the
commodity business. My experience at Shell helped me realize that I want to work in the energy
industry and that I can influence building a better energy future from inside of industry.
I recognize the public’s concern about industry’s impact on the environment, and I see the
challenges that it is facing. At the same time, I am witnessing industry’s genuine commitment to
innovation, research, and development to mitigate those impacts, not to mention the benefits it is
bringing to our quality of life. I want to be a part of, learn more about, and hopefully help to
resolve the issues of the energy industry, and I believe Shell is the best place to do this.
