I'm working in Shell in Bintulu now as a Contracts Specialist. Any questions for me?

does anybody here works at exxonmobil... may i know how much is the allowance for the internship at exxonmobil... i kinda shy to ask the management...

Me also kuli mehhh eventhough I get 800K a year .... now my friend who owns a listed company is not a kuli, that's why for the last one month he's been on bike ride trips all over Asia .....

hehe from the statement implies that HSE from non technical background is common then..

mind to elaborate your experience with them..

Hi,
    Need some help from sifu sifu, senior senior here, current i got a interview with JGC.SG for qa/qc inspector position, current are qualified cswip3.1 and api510 inspector, any clue regard the current pay scale for permanent / contract staff?

current having 6years++ inspection field, wonder 5figures sing dollars any problems?

Vicki, since you have a degree, I'm a bit hesitant about this. Most of the technicians in Exxon, they are Diploma holders. So since you have a degree, I guess your starting salary will be different. Slightly higher, I guess. But as a technician, you are considered as Non-MPT, normal engineers are called MPT. Non MPT can claim overtime, but starting salary for a normal engineering hire in ExxonMobil is higher than the Production Technician you mentioned. And starting salary for an engineer in Exxon is 4.5k.

In terms of how far can you go, if you do exceptionally well, you can become a production supervisor, then afterwards platform supervisor. If you are REALLY good, you can climb up the ladder and become an Asset Manager. But, this is VERY RARE. So far, I only know one person who made it to Asset manager. The rest, usually retire as platform supervisor. Production supervisor position is MPT, by the way.

Meanwhile engineers in ExxonMobil, they are different. They can rise up to CEO level, just in the case of the current Exxon's CEO, Rex Tillerson. But of courselah, you'll hardly get any Malaysians as CEO but my point here is to give a perspective in terms of how far you can go as a technician and as an engineer in Exxon.

What I'm afraid of is, you'll get frustrated when you start comparing with your fellow engineering peers later. So think hard.

But if you are willing to go through this hard route, by all means do accept if you are offered. Exxon may be a place of hell but it's a really good starting ground. And I mean it. Exxon trains its people well.

When they say they'll bond you, it means you cannot quit the company within that 5 years. After 5 years, if you wish to leave you may. Or else, you'll stay with the company until you retire lah.

Sincerely from a fellow Exxonite.

Salam and hello to all,

I'm a recent graduate in mech eng from local university, with strong interest in welding and materials engineering, considering that my final year project involved with it. Besides, I also have welding inspection certs, CSWIP 3.0 and TWI Welding Inspector (both certs were sponsored by mu uni).

1. Before this (during my uni days), i've heard that welding is quite in demand in ONG industry but as I've gone through this thread, there's very few post that suggest that. Does welding really in demand in ONG? Or what i heard before is no more than a myth?

2. Anyway, since i've already have those certs, I think I'll go for welding n inspection line so that i'll stand out from other candidates. However, I'm still not clear on how to do this. I mean as far as i know, most inspection job are done by third party comp like velosi, sgs, etc. So does that mean that other companies don't have their own inspection personnel ? And as far as i noticed, only Petronas have a department (Materials,Corrosion & Inspection) which in my opinion related to this inspection line.

3. If i'm going to kick start my career in the inspection line, is it worth? cause i'm afraid it is a niche segment in ONG career path. And how i'm going to do that? I mean i've heard people said that you have to be an inspector first before ugrading urself to become an inspection engineer. Is it true?

Any comments?? Sorry for the long post.. thanks anyway

Saya budak baru belajar..... and now I'm really confuse.....

Oh OK. I will check back the threads.
All these are in RM right? I heard from one of my friends who studied in US. He got a job offer which pays him USD 7k per month (coz he's a Master student. If degree student, USD 5k).
Then he had to come back coz he's bonded scholar. His current salary is 5 times lower than his previous offer. This made me really wonder why Malaysia pays so low 

True, but I just got the feeling that we're not paid what we're supposed to get. Of coz, many experienced ppl would tell me to stop complaining and go find a job oversea if I want money that much. haha.. But it's just being unfair to those who are bonded. Well, different ppl might have different opinion :S
About the 5k in PETRONAS, I was told by my friends that, basic salary for fresh grads mmg 4k. After 1 year (yes exactly 1 year) you'll get adjustment. Tier 1 will get 5k, T2 get 4.8k and T3 get 4.5k (not really sure about T3 figure). I think the reason is that they wanna standardize the fresh grads salary. After 1 year (after you're not fresh anymore), then only they give you what you supposed to get. Meaning to say, T1 fresh grads supposed to get 5k, but to make it simple, they jz giv every fresh grads 4k in the beginning.

He's a PETRONAS scholar and he studied degree and Master in US. After grad, he got an offer there, monthly salary of USD 7k. When he about to start working, PETRONAS called and told him to come back. Haha.. 

Not a rumour anymore. Shell has stopped their Legacy Medical Plan (Unlimited) 3 years ago and replaced it with a 50k cap per year for Hospitalization. Didnt get anything in return. Interest free car loan also stopped and commuting allowance instead is given.

Bro, beware of this name.. RAZMAH WATA .....CEO of synergy...sometime he is the one to be the interviewer and if u applied for engineering position, prepare some of technical knowledge.goodluck
