i wanna ask, half year i seconded to shell in their project team doing completion, basically is what i do is all the paper work and clerical job, and i felt like very wasted. I mean i dont see bright future, aside that my superior are earning 5digit and they do the same thing as us, compiling handover dossier, scanning, prepare certificate.. actually we are working on the CCMS system, some sort of completion system for construction and commissioning.. But i cant learn shit, cos everyday u do those clerical job waste whole day to compile 10-20 files, 1-2k checksheets, no time to even see what is the ITR and go on site to see the process.

If you guys were me, will you guys still staying for the job? If i am a diploma or a certificate holder of non engineering degree, they give me such job, no problem i can do. But i got a degree in engineering, and engineering stuffs boils in my blood, i felt i wasted 4 yrs study to get such work..

got offered to join deputy CSR position... still thinking >< my fren working as shell dcsr say this position can learn alot of shit about offshore construction from workpack to hands on... chinamen company >< a sad true.. pay peanuts but do everything..

exactly.. u only get good pay and learn shit tons of technical stuff if u are working as shell technician, or u join big service company like slb, consultancy company like ranhill..

haiz now project team ask me go offshore tis sat, but go do clerk shit job.. dunno should I just accept the deputy csr job or not now.. actually wat a deputy csr for shell does?

agreed, cos most of the job are done by contractors/vendors. operators are their client, even Shell design also done by ranhill, electrical parts done by vendor, from scratch. What Shell engineer do is to supervise and make sure they follow Shell standard. So i am still thinking hard should i join small vendor side or take deputy CSR post..

i wanna ask, if i wanna venture my career as QA/QC engineer, should i go and get a welding inspection cert as starting? I dont know what company that accept fresh grad as normally QA/QC they wan experienced guy..

woo wat position? It is in Lutong, Nearby Sarawak Shell Berhad.

Oh.. ECS=Engineering Construction Services, 1 of the department of Shell. I am currently seconded to there as well, but i am currently assigned to a Shell project team. It's expected, not much newcomer in shell is direct hire 1000 at SRD maybe less than 5 got in, or even less. So they say, wat for u fight joining at grad, u gonna die at their interview anyway. Work as contractor for 4yrs, later only u try apply, tat time u no need fight with grads, and since u already working as shell contractor, easier for u to get in since u know they working principal and their procedure.

i believe i know who u are how are u? haha.. Normally they expect senior/experienced for those kind of position. Unless u are able to join the big shot as graduate, else it would be hard. Normally we go into QA/QC for OnG lo.. becoming inspector.. but u need to take those certs in order to work as 1. Our subject not easy to get a job in Oil and gas ba.. closest to look for is QA/QC in OnG where they are related to all the NDT testing those lo..

yupp~~ haha... got abit lubang but is in miri and not related to what we study ur hometown alot of jobs le haha.. only don have OnG there..

Shell contractor currently, seconded to Shell lo.. yeah, offshore based, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. In the commissioining and completion team, mostly about completion management, dealing with topsides construction
