Technip Energies India Trainees Join 2026 Batch
Technip Energies India Brings in 90-Plus Trainees as Focus on Women Engineers Grows
Technip Energies India has taken in more than 90 trainees as part of its 2026 campus recruitment programme, with diversity among young recruits remaining a major feature of the hiring drive.
The company said the overall diversity figure for this year’s trainee intake is 63%. It also said women have made up more than 60% of its graduate hiring programme for three years in a row. The figures point to a continuing effort to bring more women into engineering roles, a field where female participation has historically been lower than male participation.
Madan Chandrasekaran, Director, People & Culture, India, Technip Energies, said:
“Our success begins with our people. Maintaining more than 60% women representation in our graduate hiring programme for three consecutive years reflects our commitment to creating opportunities where talent can thrive, lead and grow.”
The recruits were selected through Technip Energies’ annual campus recruitment programme. They will spend one year in a structured trainee programme that combines technical training, mentoring and work on projects.
For young engineers, such programmes can provide an early route into large energy and engineering projects. The sector requires people with skills in areas such as process engineering, project management, design, construction and new energy technologies. Early workplace training can help graduates move from classroom learning to the demands of live engineering work.
Technip Energies has been building its graduate hiring programme in India for several years. The company’s 2025 annual report said its Graduate Engineer Trainee programme in India supported 174 young graduates during 2025. The same report said women accounted for 58% of the company’s global graduate intake in 2025.
The company has also reported earlier large trainee intakes in India. In one previous recruitment drive, Technip Energies brought in 317 young trainees through campus recruitment, with about 60% of those recruits being women. The programme involved its offices in Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai as well as the Modular Manufacturing Yard in Dahej, Gujarat.
Another intake brought 280 trainees into the company, again with women making up close to 60% of the group. The recruits came from engineering institutions across India, including IITs and NITs.
The 2026 intake comes as Technip Energies continues to expand its Indian operations. In February 2025, the company opened a new office at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, or GIFT City, near Ahmedabad. It described the facility as its fourth operating centre in India and said it expected the office to employ around 300 people during 2025.
The company also opened a Research and Innovation Centre at IIT Madras Research Park in Chennai. The centre is focused on areas including low-carbon energy derivatives, industrial decarbonisation and circularity. Technip Energies said the centre was its fourth global laboratory.
India has become an important part of the company’s global workforce. Technip Energies reported 3,963 employees in India at the end of 2024, compared with 3,401 a year earlier. In a later company presentation, the Indian workforce was listed at more than 4,100 employees, representing about 24% of the group’s global workforce.
That growing workforce is also linked to the company’s wider engineering work in the country. In January 2026, Technip Energies said it had received two large contracts from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited for projects at the Bina refinery in Madhya Pradesh and the Mumbai refinery in Maharashtra. One project covers new polypropylene and Butene-1 units at Bina, while another covers engineering and construction management services for a petro-resid fluidised catalytic cracker at the Mumbai refinery.
The company is also using India as a manufacturing base for international projects. In its 2026 half-year results, Technip Energies said its Modular Manufacturing Yard in Dahej had dispatched its first large process module to Europe. The company said the new captive jetty can handle oversized modules weighing up to 4,000 metric tonnes and has reduced the movement time for such equipment compared with road transport.
For the new trainees, this wider Indian operation means their training will take place within a business handling projects for both domestic and international markets. Technip Energies says the 90-plus recruits will receive technical instruction, mentoring and hands-on project experience during their one-year programme.
Davendra Kumar, Managing Director, India & APAC, Technip Energies, said:
“Innovation thrives when diverse perspectives come together. We are proud to welcome a new generation of trainees who bring fresh ideas, curiosity and ambition. By investing in inclusive talent development today, we are building a collaborative, future-ready workforce that will help design and deliver sustainable solutions.”
Technip Energies’ recruitment approach also reflects the wider need for skilled engineers as the energy sector changes. Alongside conventional oil and gas work, the company has businesses and projects connected with areas such as LNG, hydrogen, sustainable chemistry, carbon management and other lower-carbon technologies.
The company says its India operations will continue to support its international engineering work while developing local talent. For the 2026 recruits, the immediate task is more practical: complete their training, work with experienced engineers and gain the skills needed for full-time roles in a sector facing rapid changes in technology and energy demand.
