Seplat Energy is one of the biggest indigenous oil and gas companies in Nigeria. A job there is a serious prize. The pay is strong, the training is real, and the name looks good on any CV, so graduates and experienced hands both chase it hard. Trouble is, the roles are few and the applicants are many. Scammers love a name this big too. Here is how Seplat hiring really works, who they want, and how to apply without losing a kobo.
About Seplat Energy
Seplat is a Nigerian energy company. It works across oil and gas, with a growing push into power and cleaner energy, and its operations sit mostly onshore across exploration, production and gas processing. What does that mean for you? A good chunk of the roles are technical. Think engineering, geoscience and operations, with finance, legal, human resources, supply chain and admin teams built around them. Know the spread and you aim at the right openings instead of firing blind.
The main ways in
There are a few clear doors in, and it helps to know which one is yours:
- Graduate and early-career programmes, built for fresh graduates, often in technical fields.
- Internships and industrial training, for students who still need placement.
- Experienced-hire roles, for professionals who already have a track record.
- Scholarship and development schemes the company runs now and then.
Every one of these is advertised through official channels. Never through a stranger sliding into your DM with a slot to sell.
Who Seplat looks for
For graduate roles, your degree and your grades matter, especially in engineering, the sciences and related courses. For technical and experienced jobs, your actual skills and track record carry more weight than anything on paper. But Seplat looks past the certificate too. They want safety awareness, teamwork, and people who own their work, because this industry does not forgive carelessness. Show clean problem-solving and a hunger to keep learning, and you stand out.
How to apply the right way
Everything genuine runs through the official Seplat Energy careers page. Here is the honest path, step by step:
- Open the official Seplat careers page and read through what is currently advertised.
- Set up a profile, upload a clean CV, and apply only to roles that actually match you.
- Make the shortlist and you get invited for assessments and aptitude tests.
- Pass those, and interviews follow, sometimes with a medical and a background check.
- Come out on top, and the formal offer reaches you through official channels.
And not one of those steps asks you for a kobo.
How to spot a fake Seplat recruitment
Burn this into your head. Seplat does not sell jobs, forms or interview slots, full stop. So the second anyone asks you to pay, you know it is a scam. Watch for the tells. A job advert that points to some strange website instead of the real careers page. A WhatsApp recruiter swearing he can lock a role for a fee. An offer letter riddled with errors, sent from a free email address. A demand for your bank details before you have even sat an interview. Report them, and warn the next person coming behind you.
How to boost your chances
Want an edge? Tailor your CV to each role, do not blast one generic copy everywhere. Practise aptitude and numerical reasoning tests early, because the assessments bite. Build real skills through internships, SIWES and solid projects, and keep your technical knowledge sharp. And check the careers page yourself. The honest openings land there first, not in a forwarded message.

Common questions people ask
Do you need experience to apply? Not for the graduate and internship routes. Those are built for fresh talent. The experienced-hire roles are a different track, and they expect a proven record.
Is it only for engineers? Not at all. Technical roles are common, yes, but Seplat also needs finance, legal, HR, supply chain and admin people. Read each advert, then apply where your background actually fits.
