About the Program

The Legal Summer Internship Program is part of Woodside’s USA Early Career Pathways initiative and is designed to build a sustainable pipeline of future legal talent. The program provides undergraduate pre-law students with hands-on, real-world experience supporting Woodside’s U.S. business through project-based work aligned to operational and future-focused priorities. 

Interns will support Woodside Energy’s U.S. Legal team with realworld, projectbased work that builds foundational experience in corporate, commercial, and energysector legal practice. Interns gain exposure to Woodside’s operating environment, safety culture, risk profile, and values while developing analytical, research, and communication skills that support future career pathways in legal and compliance roles. 

The internship serves as a primary feeder into Woodside’s future graduate and early-career programs and supports Woodside’s broader workforce and capability planning strategy in the United States.
