Hi guys,

I am selected for a "technical assessment" session with Petronas Carigali on coming Tuesday. I am just wondering this description sounds different from what other forumers here have mentioned i.e. i read in this forum that others have mentioned about structured interview and role playing. Anybody here heard about 'technical assessment'? I am a process eng with 2 years+ exp. Thanks for your help.

Youre chinese right? Em... just smile a lot - you will pass if the malay interviewer like you - try to speak as much malay loghat as possible and show that you are fasih bermelayu and you dont need anything else.

(speaking from experience as an ex-Petronas staff KLCC tower 1)

yes i m a chinese... thanks for your advice... i m just wondering what kind of technical thing they wanna ask... IQ test and so on. i am pretty worried if they will ask about management skill++ and others as mentioned in other thread.

Technical interview means you will be asked technical questions mostly related to the work you have done. If you're a process engineer, some questions regarding that will be asked as well.

Dont worry. Carigali is lacking people. And they are trying to get non-bumis to join them too. So just answer as best as possible. And be honest, just admit if you dont know any of the topics. You have only 2 years exp so I think they are looking for fresh faces to start their career with the company.
I think the problem is not trying to join them, but to continue working there. Office politics, getting transferred to outside KL, etc. is more challenging. My two cents only, but good luck ya?

Why call carigali?? No better name?? Petronas FindDig!!

Yeah, I've a couple of friends working with them, mostly petronas scholars ..

hi ubuntu23

sorry for late reply. been busy with work lately... what azraeil said was right. they asked mostly what i do everyday in my current job. nth much else really. so far i havent heard any feedback from them yet. =(

i'd like to say thanks to other fellow forumers for your advice =)

Good luck. I hope you get the job.

Jennylig..

I was attending the T.A on last week..level 37 tower 1..
Did u ask them at the end of the interview whether u ar recommended for S.I?
They told me that I'm recommended for S.I and now I'm waiting their HR to call..n it's already 1 week..
Mind to share if u got the invitation from HR..

hi bro..thanks for your advice in other topic of this forum
btw, my session was postponed to next week..
are you working in Oil & Gas field right now?how many years experience?

Ur welcome..

T.A postponed? So u have a lot of time to research back ur current jobscope..
I just got the e-mail from HR regarding the S.I..an waiting them to call for available date..I'm now working in O&G industry..7 years exp..

7 years in this field..no wonder you know alots..hehe
unlike me still fresh in this O&G industry..
once you have that experience, i think your expexted salary should be around 8-10k..
have they told you what position & which department you will be posted to if you succeed?

No lah..7 years still like u are driving Honda City..compare to other forumers like Mr. Azraeil now ,he's driving a Jaguar..
Salary will be discussed later..hehe..S.I first..
During T.A, I have met my future boss (if I'm hired ler)..from that department..
good luck for you next week..

i've spoken to HR person, they told me that this position for project construction basically in east malaysia..
they divide to 3 type of project..hook up, commissioning & fabrication..
so new hire engineer will be place into 3 of this project..

Is it PCSB? If yes..maybe for their Dulang Field, ..the flow will be Fabrication (at any yard in Peninsula), hook-up (offshore) & commissioning (offshore)..usually for PCSB, they will attached in in the project from start (detail desgn) till end..

My 2cents opininon..Construction Engineer Scope will be somethin like this..To Monitor Construction Progress..it is more likely to Project Engineer..but u have to master the foundation of Fabrication & installation of structure equipment, , like preparation of site, PTW, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), HIRAD, safety, preparation of Fabrication Site like soil study, wing beam, weighing, lifting activities and familiar with all those cranes at Fab Yard (crawler, boom).., sail away, load out, deal Offshore Installation Contractor (OIC) like Sapura, TL OFfshore, once enter hook up phase, preparation of work pack, job card, lifting, deal with OIC.. monitor progress of Hook Up by Commissioning Contractor like Petra,Dayang, Kencana Pinewell..

waa..thats a lot of job to do..
im still blur all of those things that you have mentioned..haha
good info for me..

Nevermind Bro...
Once u know the "Shit", then you will know how to "Shit" properly..hehe

How to know if our TA was sucsseccfully or not? Are they inform via email, call or just keep silent after 1 month?

They will call you to inform the status and e-mail..but for my case, I got the result (not formal) right after the interview..Formal result by Hr personnel takes two weeks for me..
