When you are ready to apply, the first step is simple: submit your application through our website or via LinkedIn. You will need to upload your resume and any other relevant documents specified in the job description, such as a portfolio. We also encourage you to write and upload a short cover letter explaining why you are a great fit for the role.

Do you already know someone at VTTI? If so, they may be open to sharing their experiences, answering any questions, and even introducing you as a referral candidate.

We embrace diversity, inclusivity and non-discrimination in our hiring practices, and are open to people of all backgrounds. We recognize that different applicants may have different needs, so feel free to share any support needs with our recruiter, for example due to any type of disability. It is in our interest to help you show us the best, most comfortable version of who you are.

Screening

Once we have received your application, our recruitment team will review it to see if your skills and experience align with the role.

If we think you could be a good fit, we may schedule a quick phone or video call to get to know you a little better. This is a chance for us to learn more about your background and for you to ask any questions you might have about the role or our company. We will also discuss your experience with the hiring manager or panel.

If we think you might be a better fit for a different position within our organization, now or in the future, we will contact you and discuss the opportunity and/or next steps.

Selecting

If things go well during the initial screening, you will move on to the first interview.

We want this to be a two-way conversation—because this is also your opportunity to find out more about whether you would like to work with us and make VTTI the next step in your career. The process and the number of interviews depending on the seniority level and the location of the role. All candidates for the same position will follow the same process.

Depending on the role we might ask you to prepare a technical task or business case or ask you to complete a short personality assessment, a skills assessment, or a full day in-person assessment.
