Courage, curiosity, and a career at Aker BP

Meet Diana Busingye, one of our newest graduate engineers at Aker BP.

Born and raised in Uganda, Diana developed a strong sense of resilience, curiosity, and ambition early on. Her passion for energy and engineering took her to France, where she earned a Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering and Project Development from IFP School. Stepping into a new country and culture was a leap of faith that opened the door to extraordinary opportunities.

Towards the end of her studies, Diana applied for Aker BP’s graduate programme and, after receiving an offer, made the move to Norway. A new country, new challenges, and a new beginning with our team. Since joining in March 2025, she has been contributing to projects within Drilling & Wells on the Skarv Asset, from cross-functional workshops to hands-on planning sessions.

Diana describes her experience so far as enriching and inspiring:

Every day brings something new to learn, someone new to collaborate with, and a deeper appreciation for the work we do. Clarity and courage go hand in hand.

Aker BP supports students who need to relocate in order to work for the company.

– I was put in touch with a relocation company that helped me find a suitable apartment. It made the move easy, and I was able to focus on settling in both at work and in my new city, says Diana.
