Admission of personnel to Petrobras in Brazil depends on the participation and approval in a public selection process. As Petrobras is a private and public joint stock company, its personnel admission policy is pursuant to Article 37 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution prevailing since 5 October 1988.

One of the basic requirements for recruitment is that the candidate approved in the selective process is a born or naturalized Brazilian.

There are employment opportunities in the company’s business units worldwide. A professional is recruited as required at the time and pursuant to local labor laws. The basic requirement is that the candidate is legally qualified to work in that country. Very often the professional working in Petrobras units abroad can spend time in Brazil to upgrade and adapt to the company culture.

The foreign Business units may offer internships to university students in the communities where they are located. Find out how to contact a Petrobras Business unit in South and North America.
