Hi, i got an offer working as an electrical engineer in an oil refinery in Sg. The things is the position is not permanent position but renewable contract every year. Now, i am wondering if it is a good move into oil and gas industry. Where can i move to in case my contract is not renew after a year?

I don't understand what you mean by breaching the contract. Care to explain more? My concern is on job security as it is not a permanent position but the idea of working with Shxx in their oil refinery have keep me interested.

Yes.

+1

Permanent position as service engineer (vendor dealing with power product such as motor that start with A) vs contract position (operator that outsource a lot). What would it be? To be clear, chances of being converted as perma is dim for at least the next few year but doable. But pay is definitely on the downside for now

Hi guys, I am attach to vendors providing gas/liquid analyzer servicing and commissioning for CEMS for all sort of industry like refinery/power plant/cement plant etc. What are the chances for me to join upstream activity? I also have the chance to focus on doing gas chromatography. Will it help if I want to join operator?
