Well, seem like not many people aware that Civil/Structural Engineer can really work in Oil and Gas industry. Actually to work in oil and gas as structural engineers, you can become consultant, contractors, service engineers or working for client company.

For Consultant you can apply for,

Technip, Ranhill WorleyParsons, RNZ, MMC Oil Corp, Noble Denton, Germanischer Lloyd (Malaysia), APL, etc...

For Contractors (fabricating the structures),

Kencana HL, MMHE, Ramunia, Brooke Dock Yard, Sime Engineering Yard

For Service Engineers,

Aker Kvaerner, Single Buoy, J. RAY MCDERMOTT (normally prefer experienced engineer), Sapura Crest, etc...

For Client Engineer, you can apply for

Shell, Petronas, Talisman*, Murphy*, ExxonMobil* (* tend want experience structural engineer but can try)

For doing not related to structure, with high pay and long working hours, you can try to apply schlumberger.

There are more actually but this is what i can think of for now.

Btw I am structural engineer working in one of the consultant for less than a year (just graduated last year).

I felt it is quite difficult to get into the oil & gas industry, unless u know some one in the company. Send resume to a lot company yet no reply, sigh sigh

Well, I don't think it is hard if u have a good CGPA, they normally will called those first class scorer for an interview then can get through is another different story. As for my case, I am lucky that when i graduated last year is the time when the entire engineering market is blooming, so i got 2 offers from oil & gas companies. This year definitely need many forces in oil and gas industry with the high crude oil price with more than 100 USD per barrel.

I think client company like Petronas and Shell will review every applicant, they normally won't go for pointers just log in their website and do some personality test and they normally will call u for phone interview...

Just send out your resume, no harm trying. thumbup.gif

I'm currently still first class, yet did not get any reply. Sigh. Do I need to send resume to them even though they don't have any opening or wat?

For consultant they need opening but you can try send also. Send to RWP or Technip so far i know RWP got opening for graduate engineer.

As for shell, they recruit ppl whole year round so u can just send over to them anytime..

IMO, Schlumberger recruitment team is the most tough, arrogant, ... i mean, they have every rights to do so since they are the number 1 highest paying service company in the world.

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.
