Hi guys, like MCDC I'm also considering of applying with Cameron, is a coordinator position. I have 2 yrs exp in the electronics industry, in a similar capacity, degree holder.
A couple of questions for you guys in the industry:
1) How's Cameron's reputation?
2) What's the typical salary range for this position? So that i don't price myself too high or too low.
3) For ppl with exp, how's the job like? (I have an idea but just wanna check)
4) What's the typical career path? based on your knowledge or experience of your friends
5) Is there an unofficial pact among these O&G contractors that they don't poach their competitor's people? Like Schlumberger would not take a Cameron guy, or Buker Hughes people won't accept Halliburton guy kind of thing?
This is quite an important turning point for me, because i feel that by the time u hit 3-4 years exp, most likely u r stuck in that industry so i want to be sure i know as much as i could about the company and industry.
Thanks guys!
1) ok
2) depends. Seems you have working experience it might varies
3) Experience? depends what experience you have
4) Basically you run one project or job from start till finish. taking it as your baby.
5) Definately NO
I'm not familiar with which position you're referring to but based on my knowledge, this job requires
1. SAP knowledge
2. Product knowledge
3. Management and coordinating. Yes you will manage the a specific fabrication project from Start till Finish in the manufacturing plant.
4. Occasionally requires you to communicate with all the OnG companies as well as vendor around the world.
There's more you can explore. If you have none of the above. never fear, They can train you up. But most importantly this job is challenging and requires you to work long after hours. Yes they liaise with most major OnG companies and demand as well as deadlines are critical. Overall its a good platform for you to start and learn all the product knowledge and tools used. After a few years should you be interested on other fields, you can consider on hopping into different department or different companies.
