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

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

am I correct? : )

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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

thanks a lot for all the tips

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

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