first time i heard of 2nd upper class degree at Masters level........

if you consider tea lady position in o&g company.........having a pass in UPSR might do.

if you are a cost control engineer in a project, your job is to periodically monitor the cost incurred during the project duration so that it is within the project budget. you are required to prepare cost summaries periodically; weekly or monthly, for the project.

make sure you still remember the basics of Statics.

do you still remember how to draw and/or interpret 'Shear (V)' and 'Bending Moment (M)' diagrams?

were you referring to masters degree starting pay scale?

i understood that for fresh degree graduate with first class honours or equivalent, starting is RM3K. second class honours starting between RM2.5k to RM2.7K.

well, if they had revised the starting salary, that's good news to fresh graduates.

if he graduates with first class honours from either UTP or UTM, he has high chance of being called for a job interview in O&G industry.

instrumentation and controls engineering is not electronic based?

for fresh graduates, the one with a masters degree will get slightly higher STARTING PAY than the guy with a first degree. but yearly salary increments will depend on work performance and sometimes company's performance.

Anyone interested to work in Labuan, Sabah?

- i heard its 20% - 80% share, Carigali gets the smaller share. I know a few of the Lundin project team members.

- well...the gov could have shifted the borderline up north, you know... really, how did the federal gov assign the border line between two adjacent states?

there's one more, as-built drawings. the AFC dwgs will be updated to 'As-Built' drawings to reflect the final built of the structures.

Do you know that As-Built drawings are under the scope of work of the fabricator, and not the consultant?

The fabricator may sub-contract the As-Builting works to the consultant, and the fabricator is responsible to do a proper job in marking-up the AFC drawings to indicate any changes during fabrication.

The client is not supposed to do quality checks on fabricator's work. That's fabricator's responsibility and they are being paid for it.

later (maybe after a decade) you join the client. big money down the road in later years.

i wonder whether your Petronas friends are covered by insurance?

I was wondering which insurance company would take the risk of covering Pet's staff in 'high-risk zones' like Iraq.

Choose option 1).

also planning engineer, cost control engineer, contracts engineer, QS, etc...

true...based on case to case basis.

those who work in o&g but do not want to go offshore at all should quit this industry. jadi tadika teachers will be the best option.
