Most probably will, but not to big shot companies (operators, well known consultants, etc).
Best chance is to look for small service companies.

Thank you, I've applied for Chemical Engineer (Fresh Graduate) last two weeks. But by looking at my CGPA, pretty sure they're not impressed. But there's no harm in trying. smile.gif


Added on August 16, 2011, 3:52 amI've always have the urge to ask this, how do I apply for any engineering positions in Petronas MLNG, without using backdoor? I took chemical-gas engineering, learnt about downstream mostly but I have more interest for upstream. Just that if I didn't manage to enter that side, I wish I can get involved in LNG industries. The only one place in M'sia is Bintulu. But if I got chances to work overseas, that'll be even better. Just don't see any opportunities here. sad.gif

hi all,

wanted some advise on the situation i am in now.

currently attending interviews for the 2 positions below.

1. Drilling Engineer for a new drilling contractor/consultancy. Finding more about the jobscope, I would be doing more of conceptual design, planning, liaising with suppliers, meetings etc and not much of a chance to go offshore. Currently they are expanding (as with many OnG companies). Drilling has always been the place I wanted to go to ($$) but not too sure about the size of the company, would it affect my career? They are pretty small just established 2-3 years ago. I went through their fleet and realised most of it is for shallow water drilling, certainly not Transocean-esque depths. However, I understand that this is a golden opportunity for someone fresh to get into the drilling business...maybe can get into it first then switch to deeper water drilling?

2. Product Design Engineer in F** Technologies. Initial few years (2 or 3) would be more of design work and not much chances to go offshore. Better side is that it is an MNC considered the leader in the subsea engineering field. Heard from someone currently in the OnG industry that subsea engineers get paid a lot with enough experience as well. Wats the prospect in the design field? Which sectors within the subsea business (eg field development etc) has most potential for growth?

Just curious about the salaries that an experienced drilling engineer vs subsea engineer would get? Aware that the industry is moving more towards subsea and deeper waters...

I have not gotten the offers yet, currently in second round for both jobs.. but intend to leave this topic here for some time for sufficient gathering of opinions.

Experienced Bros out there.. Please advise! Thanks! smile.gif

lol. I guess so. I have been trying hard over the past year or so..currently in a technical field that pays rather ok but I still see the future for technical careers in the petroleum industry. Prefer to let natural resources do the work for me tongue.gif

Hmm I don't know for sure, if Google it, it is still open for applications. I tried sending them email but no replies from them. I am interested in this programme. But looks like it is not easy to get in.

How about Maersk Trainee Driller Programme? Anyone here hired under the programme or has went for the interviews? Applied for it but no news from them yet. It looks good as well...

Thanks Bros!!

I read somewhere about there are 3 types of Gas Company.

Consultant - Technip, MMC
Operator - Petronas, Shell
Contractor - Schlumberger, Baker Hughes

From what I read, it says that consultant employees get paid least, but you are only doing office jobs - designing using AutoPipe, etc.
Contractors are paid the most amount of wages, but you will be working offshore, on the oil rif.

From contractor, its quite hard for you to jump into operator companies such as Shell, Petronas, but from consultancy companies, you will have a brighter chance of working with the operators
(I'm talking about jumping up the food chain, more convenient work place,no offshore life, more decent pay )

Any one care to explain n elaborate n correct what is wrong?
Im gonna graduate next year, trying to figure out with my life, where to work, and so on. Now I'm finishing my internship already, being here, make me realise, deciding field of work is not an easy choice. BTW I'm a Mechanical Engineering student.

dis is through my observation n friends, not really a strong fact to quote with.....

consultant: decent pay, mostly office work
operator:good pay, field work or rnd, a bit risky job
contractor: high pay job, not really sure of the job scope(my neighbour working in contractor comp somewhere at eastern europe if not mistaken, get paid in euro n usd, two currency, highly benefited)




QUOTE(crispypork @ Jul 19 2011, 01:34 AM)


2) Have been considering working as a field engineer (slb etc.), couple of concerns:
    a) Career progression? Would you have to be stuck offshore throughout your career if you want to continue enjoying the lucrative pay?
  b) Is the job technically demanding (say in comparison to an office job working as a consultant)?
    c) Career options? Could you branch out into something else with the skills that have been developed or you're almost stuck?
  d) Job satisfaction? Do you feel you're doing something great/proud of your job? Do you feel your job cannot be easily done by others?
    e) Individuality/differentiation? Is there room for your own input or do you follow a strict set of guidelines?
    f) Do you do the same task everyday or is there something new to look forward to everyday?
    g) Any other thoughts/advice?
    h) Last but certainly not least: Would you recommend someone who sees all the above as important in a career to go down this route? smile.gif

Your time in reading (and hopefully responding to) this is very much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
Crispypork

b) yes, u hv to know what u r doing....all jobs r same rite?
d) not all can survive under the tense of OnG industries, 24 7 running business non stop
f) new kind of prob, new environment to work with, u wont be sitting in a cubicle only, if management of cos la working under the roof.....

Quick Question:
[cool.gif1)what about Civil Eng? what elective subjects should be emphasized on?Structural analysis,R.C,Steel design...?

2)so far im focusing on softwares such as staadpro and esteem. are these sufficient for an entry level?
3)apart from civil engineer position, what other appropriate positions should civil eng graduates are likely to expect?

thx for any further info.  smile.gif

yes, my friend hold a degree in civil and hes working in OnG, further info not really sure to say.....

anyone here from technip??m wondering if i should call them...my application is on the under consideration status for almost 3 months lol....does this mean im not going to get an interview or..they are still processing applications??

alamak, my cuzen already start working there la,if already waiting for 3mth my cuzen also apply there for the same time u did i guess, dont know if they hv diff intake for diff post




working as a field engineer in OnG, dis is why i think the pay is high.....

1) OnG accident
this is a kind of accident if u r working as a field engineer in OnG, but it might be worst

2) its a 24 7 non stop industry

3)u driving ur nation for an economic growth

4)u hv to be technically competent and ur knowledge will expand as u gain ur years of exp(4 engineering field)

5)d industry keep on growing, so to compete they hv to be d best so hv to pay big money la....


i'm only hv 3years exp in dis field tbh, i dont mind people bashing me sayin 'nasihat cam da 50taun keje padahal br greenhorn jek'

i'm just giving my opinion k guys....

to strive and to conquer, hhahahahah..... flex.gif
