I am taking Mechanical Engineering and will be graduate soon. I'm very interested in oil & gas industry and energy related field, both renewable and non-renewable. May I know which company should I look into to apply for job? And which company willing to take fresh grad like me?

I am offered for a Material Planner/Procurement position in an O&G service company. May I know what is the future prospect of a material planner/procurement engineer in O&G or any other industry? BTW I am a fresh grad with mechanical engineering degree, not sure if I make a correct decision to take this offer... very confusing right now

Hmmm, well material planner and procurement mainly is to manage between Vendor and Client. Mainly dealing with bidding process, preparing quesionaire to pre-select some of the vendor.
So if you are a fresh grad and if you think u not a very technical person maybe it could suit your needs but after few years you might forget how to design a valve or pipe, your job is mainly preparing documents for vendor to bid and to help client to choose which vendor and the procurement process took quite a lot of details also. Anyway its a challenging job too cos it deal with money hahha..... as for future palnner u can become Contract manager cos you will deal with a lot of contract between client and vendor.

But it just base on my own opinion just as a reference, the choice is still in your hand.

Thanks for your reply, I have decided to accept the offer. Actually I would prefer a position involved more on technical stuff as my first job, but I guessed learning how to deal with people ain't that bad also smile.gif I hope i made a wise decision
