Job Summary

About the Role

SLB is a global technology company working in energy innovation. These internships focus on practical technical work rather than classroom study alone.

The Field Engineer Intern gains exposure to oilfield operations, data acquisition, equipment deployment and operational workflows. The Field Specialist Intern develops knowledge of service tools, equipment and service quality while working with experienced Field Specialists. The technician track concentrates on equipment preparation, diagnostics and maintenance in workshops, laboratories or operational bases.

The vacancy displays an Apply Now control, but no separate application destination is supplied in the available details. No cohort year or closing date is stated. Check the official application page for current availability before preparing your submission; the absence of a deadline does not establish how long applications will remain open.

Responsibilities

• Field Engineer Intern: support engineers and technicians, prepare equipment and materials, collect and monitor field data, assist with basic analysis, and contribute to reports and post-job reviews.
• Field Engineer Intern: collaborate across technical teams, comply with company quality and HSE requirements, and participate in safety meetings, toolbox talks and operational briefings.

Requirements

• Field Engineer Intern: a minimum 2:1 degree in an engineering field or equivalent.
• Field Specialist Intern: an engineering HND or equivalent. The vacancy uses the wording minimum (2:1) HND Diploma (HND), which is ambiguous. Do not assume a particular HND classification is accepted; seek clarification through the official recruitment process.
• Mechanical and Electrical/Electronics Technician Intern: an HND or technical certificate in Electronic, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics or equivalent. The vacancy also applies minimum (2:1) wording here without explaining how it relates to these qualifications.
• All three tracks: completed NYSC and no more than three years since graduation, including the NYSC period. Compare your graduation date with this limit; do not restart the calculation from NYSC completion.
• All three tracks: a solid hands-on electronics or mechanical background, ability to follow directions and comply with company and QHSE procedures, and a focus on clients, service quality and performance.
• All three tracks: quick learning, ability to turn learning into practical solutions, strong problem-solving skills, interpersonal skills, and verbal and written communication.

Confirmed Benefits

• Field Specialist Intern: development of technical understanding of tools, equipment and service quality while working closely with experienced Field Specialists.
• Mechanical and Electrical/Electronics Technician Intern: practical skill development in equipment handling, diagnostics and maintenance.
• Salary, stipend, accommodation, transport support and relocation assistance are not stated. Paid status is unconfirmed; verify the financial terms before making commitments.

What Applicants in Nigeria Should Know

• The vacancy is based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and is relevant to applicants currently in Nigeria. It does not state a Nigerian-citizenship-only restriction or a specific residence requirement.
• Completed NYSC is explicitly required for every track. The vacancy does not explain whether an exemption or exclusion is accepted, so do not assume either meets the requirement.
• Work-permission requirements and visa sponsorship are not stated. Applicants who need employment authorisation should verify this through the official recruitment process.
• No professional registration or recognition requirement is stated. The meaning of equivalent qualifications, particularly alongside the ambiguous HND and technical-certificate classification wording, needs clarification where relevant.
• Remote work is not stated. The duties involve field operations or physical equipment, so do not treat this as a remote internship. If you live outside Port Harcourt, verify attendance expectations and any relocation arrangements before committing to expenses.

Application Tips

Optional preparation advice: build a short evidence bank before completing the application. For each relevant project or practical task, note the equipment involved, your own contribution, the safety precautions you followed and the outcome. Use accurate examples from your education, industrial training, NYSC or other genuine experience.

Hypothetical example: if you helped diagnose a faulty circuit during a laboratory project, explain the checks you performed, what you found and how you verified the repair. This is more useful than simply describing yourself as technically skilled. Do not claim independent responsibility for work you only observed.

Prepare examples of teamwork, problem-solving and clear reporting as well as technical ability. The vacancy repeatedly emphasises following instructions, service quality and Health, Safety and Environment standards. Explain how you worked within procedures rather than suggesting that speed mattered more than safety.

Final submission check: confirm the vacancy title and reference, the track you are pursuing, your qualification details, graduation date and NYSC completion status. Check that any information requested by the application process is accurate and consistent. The vacancy text does not specify required documents, so follow the actual application instructions rather than assuming a CV, cover letter or certificate upload is compulsory.

Eligibility depends on the employer’s full requirements. An application or sponsorship offer does not guarantee a visa or employment.
