Now i'm a kuli oni. Marnie HSE Specialist. Got sucked back in, into the marine line after I left it like YEARS ago. But it is an advantage for me now as there is a need for Marine HSE but lack of marine personnel who can run HSE effectively. I guess i'm lucky cos after i left the marine line, I ventured into HSE and loved HSE so much until this offer came, I ws reluctant but well the offer wasnt that bad so I grabbed it after I finished my last contract ( I freelance btw) SO now this is like the longest contract 3 +2 yrs and it's so relaxing lol. Plus I get to argue with HSE ppl who do not know much about marine and argue with marine ppl who do not know much about HSE lolx. I guess i fill the gap? lolx

yups. quite true what you've said. if we take sumone and put them into HSE, stupid and ridiculous thing will come out. it is better for someone from marine industry itself to be HSE for marine. freelance? nice man. i've met marine consultant from singapore come onboard my last ship. they got paid usd 2000 per day for writing report about my ship. they stay for about 3 days. shit man. big bucks. but they have to write 500++ page report in that 3 days. haha. heavy load also.

for those started from deck side, i've found it easier for them to entr HSE coz i've search around and found that most marine HSE superintendent requires Class 1 deck officer COC. can those from engine side also join HSE? mind elaborating more about it since quite curious about it.

btw, u're from bp or shell? since i think those two are major OnG which also have marine fleet.

Not true, it's a very niche thing so requirements are not too strict as there is a real shortage for Marine HSE. For example, here in Miri the majority of plp who are in Marine HSE are basically ppl who have never gone to sea or those who have been to sea but HSE is not their core. Lucky for me I'm balanced? lolx. I used to sail but HSE is my strong point thus I can relate to the mariners on board. Oh plus I LOVE to argue a LOT lolx.

Preference is from Deck side as in HSE you know the law and can churn out reports like breathing, yeah HSE is all about documentation and reports lolx. And those from Deck I feel has exposure to reporting or rather story writing skills compared to engine side as on the engine side its all about numbers and not much story telling. ALthough I may be wrong. For surveyors such as Class Surveyors they prefer Engineers as it is very techincal but I say it aint that hard cos Deck side we have to know about the engine too and a chief engineer doesnt need to know about navigation.

I'm neither from BP nor Shell, they hardly hire freelancers direct, I'm sitting on the contractor side, but behave like i'm on client side, cos I can! hahaha.

I'm a civil engineering fresh graduate of university of malaya.
I'm currently working for a local company in Singapore that provides offshore services mainly in pile monitoring of platform installation.
I've only been working here for a couple of months but I do not find it interesting as it is only a specific job and besides it is more office work then field work.
I am more interested in work that is field work because I think I should go for that type of work while I'm still young. The field experience will also allow me to learn and grow at a more accelerated rate.
Can any of you seniors out there advice me?
Thanks a lot guys!

OK so many pages came and went i'll try to remember to reply what i can. SOmeone asked about Talisman? if got offer, then GO grab it. It's one of the main contractors around that actually pays well. However, it also depends on which line u're getting in.

Technip : also a good company, they provide a lot of training. You will find that you will stay in Technip for a long time as you will grow very comfortable in it.

Shell : Which shell? SSB? SSPC? or Shell Trading? They make a difference. I'm sitting on contractor side as I like doing projects and not so keen on a permanent position. I find it more challenging plus the money is damn good. lol. Currently, am contemplating which company to join as I too was offered by SSB but not too keen on a permanent position. 3 main-cons have offered me an offer mroe attractive than shell so i'm just weighing my options now. Oh btw, there's still 2 more years left in this current contract i'm doing.

If anyone is interested in getting into O&G ( as a fresh grad but the community prefer experienced ppl) do let me know what line u're in, be it HSE, ENG, etc. I get an average of 3-5 e-mails a week from friends and companies requesting me to recommend ppl for contract jobs, so if u're really interested to work short term, i.e. 3-12 months project let me know. Especially Mariners as they're in great demand.

haha. quite true what you've said. engineers usually stay inside engine room. and even after reaching senior management such as chief engineer, they'll still commanding much about engine room. while for master, their duties is to overlook the entire ship operation as they are the company representative onboard. master can help u from geting fu** byt he company and also can f**k u for the sake of the company. this is what my previous captain told me. haha. he's from singapore poly btw.

yup engine people write less about report. only took pictures then write short description n asking for spares tongue.gif .

haha. i've seen both class surveyor from deck n engine. but like u've said. most of them are either ex-chief engineer or naval architect.

btw, moz offshore support vessel have Dynamic positioning System. usually, if any malfunction occur, will they have speacialist DP engineer or just marine engineer to do it?

salaries you're getting on shore and onboard which one more satisfying to u?

Hmm. salaries I would have to say while sailing cos no.1 it's a hazardous job dude, but there we work like hell and party like hell. No politics and all that crap. In the office well, i get to go home after office hours and go play games lah lol. And while on shore i get to go partying and picking up hot nurses! lolx
