I need some help in my research.
I am looking for building industry companies in KL (or branches in KL), preferably design or contractors. May be Malay or foreign - does not matter.

I need to do a work experience (4 months to be specific) as part of my final year of studies. I am interested in big companies - maybe ones that have graduate programmes or something...

If you know or have experience working in such company I would be grateful if you could help me.

thanks

you know the comnpany that built KLCC? not the twin tower. the convention center.
The design n the construction is done by....tadaa,,,,
my company, let u guess the name

Oh, you are the guy who argued about Assistance Engineer...

I have no clue who did the design of KLCC but I will try to find out in the internet.
Meanwhile: Do you work for this company now; in India?

the company szhould be one of the below:

KLCC Holdings Sdn Bhd, Midciti Resources Sdn Bhd, Consortium Petronas Tower I [Hazama Corporation, Ho Hup Construction Company Berhad, J.A. Jones Construction, Inc., MMC Engineering Services Sdn Bhd, PS Mitsubishi Construction Co., Ltd.], Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers, Flack + Kurtz

alamak
cham
dun tell my boss i still online at this hour......

pls pls...

yeah, im still in that company here in India
in fact, i joined just bcoz of this project

a lot of KL companies r here too, some r like those kyan said

back to the topic
what help do you need?
it will be my utmost pleasure if im of any help for u

I am really glad to read that!

I am not Malay. I come from Europe, I have absolutely no clue what companies are there in Asia. I already did some internet research but it is much easier to ask - which I am doing right now. Example: I have came across situations when employers didn't want nobody but malay workers. I would like to avoid such situations and save my own and other people's time.
Generally names of the companies is the help I mentioned... If I happen to find (here) a person who works for a company I may be interested in, and that person will direct me to somebody from HR making it easier for me ... well that would be too much of a coincidence - wouldn't it? I would be delighted than...

Anyway, as I said: company names is already big help. Thanks a lot.

u mean u wan a job?
thats entirely different man

or ur "research" is about HR policy?

yes - I thought it is pretty clear since I have written it in the first post...

say it a bit simpler, Industrial Training, Internship......
i thought something regarding progressive training provided by big companies for their staffs.....

you can try NAMFATT, my brother work at there as a civil engineer, just join.

i was told that usually in big company, no people will helping you although u just for training. Better find small/mediam company..

I have come across different names for that: Industrial Placement, Practical Placement, Internship ... regardless of how you call that - I need (and want In fact!) to work in a 'building company' (my course does not specify exactly what sort). I want some civil engineering experience.

I know that (in Europe at least) big companies have graduate/under-graduate programmes which make it easier to get a job.

I've nothing against medium or small companies but those are much greater risk for me...
Do you know what I mean?

I've one more question:
What is the approximate cost of living in KL? - say you try to keep it low and don't spend too much.

this is my expenses, an example for you.

rent a room: RM300/month
electricity bill + water bill + broadband bill : RM30-40/month
Public transport : RM100/month (depends on where you stay and the work location)
Meal : breakfast+lunch+dinner : RM10-20/day
Handphone bill : RM60/month
Entertainment+shopping :~ RM150/month (can exclude)
Others: ~RM100

compare to Europe, my expenses consider quite cheap.
(Exchange rate: 1 Euro = RM 4.50, 1 USD = RM3.60)

hmmm
if u wan, try Hanson - 5th floor Menara Consplant, opposite Subang Parade
they r desperate for fresh blood there, and they do have those training thingy. they r the provider of concrete for the twin tower

if u wanna keep living cost low, share a room
other infos will be as above

major construction companies need ppl to work, n to train them to work
rarely have time for students except for gov policy related

I heard GAMUDA is hiring interns. Can have a try.

o... civil engineering, but most of my friend which study civil engineering take practical in construction site. Only few were lucky enough work inside office especially for girl. where are you from? i think it is better you find those company near to where you staying now. The pay they give usually is around RM500 or less. so you really need to budjet.

I am from Poland - ever heard of it? ; )
I already had half a year of placement in there. Now I want to see haw you build things in Asia - I am not planning to save any money. I know that I could do the placement in Europe and hope for a good wage...

poland?
currently there are no any KLCC size building in progress, except for terrence house, apartment or office building.

KLCC size? are you kidding me? There never were and there never will be! Poland is no place for such constructions. Basically I think no country in Europe is building anything special at the moment.
Amazing how fast countries like Malaysia develop. That is why I want to go there.

currently there are no such project like KLCC in Malaysia, this is what phonar mean. As i know, Europe dont have megastructure like KLCC is because of environment constraint

"Hanson" is the name of the company, that right?

thanks a lot for all the tips

Hanson is not a construction company... it sells construction materials.. like concrete n premix

hey jakusej, dun mind if i borrow your thread for a while. i'm in this field of study, currently i'm doing my diploma in TAR College and my course title is Building. so, i juz wanna know generally, as a fresh grad, what are the closest job that we can do or any other jobs as well.

good to know that
Do they have a website? cause I seem to have some problems finding it.

www.hanson.biz

Sure you can... I doubt it is a good idea though - better start a new topic and name it properly

pecb.com.my, my dad is the CEO

wah so u can help us to find a job there lah?
