For NDT :

1. MPI/DPI
2. RT
3. UT

Suitable of you are willing to become a freelancer , that mean, you drop your contact number t ndt service company and they will call you if they got job on daily basis. Permanent post also available but usually permanent pay lower. My advise, if you have much money or you know someone that could give you smidec letter , go for inspection course i.e : CSWIP 3.1 , PCN Welding inspection level 2. You can go for inspection tech job in petronas plant or any o & g contractor or you also can go for freelancer but for much longer contract ( project/ turnaorund )..

If you want a secure, less pressure job, go for safety course.

Best practice, grad, get job as technician or assistant engr. in o & g company , grab some experience, decide what you are most suited then go or cert.. you will pass the cert easier..

As per what I know, entry level prod. tech if working offshore could get take home pay around 4k this including offshore allowance + OT + shift.. But, if your job as maintenance tech, you will get slightly less because not entitle for shift allowance.. As you get more exp, you will become senior tech >> tech. team leader >> supervisor >> some cases might become platform supt / (Offshore Installation Manager) OIM .. this is based on true story since I also working at one of the platform offshore Terengganu..  smile.gif

CSWIP 3.1 might not take you in as you do not have the experience. Go for 3.0 work 2 years than apply for 3.1.

I dont think without NDT experience you can be a free-lancer unless you know people. Apply for permanent first. Best to take MPI as carbon steel is the most commonly used material in the O&G industry.

For welding cert CSWIP is more reputable and for NDT PCN certs are the most reputable.

Try puspatri or something they have those free courses...

try to get job as technician or work under those mill-wrights or start off as a roughneck/helper is another possibility.

Agreed on CSWIP 3.1, one can apply for the course (there are pre-requisites) but may not be approved by the body if without proper and adequate qualifications and experience.
recently, there are more & more NDT companies set-up but in order to sustain in the market in term of longer period?

inconel and chrome materials at critical areas of subsea equipments is the way to the future, can refer to API 5CRA on types of NDT to be performed on chrome materials. there is a potential of higher PI reserve if there is higher CO2 but higher challenges during drilling and there come the inconel and chrome playing their parts in casing/tubing. MPI may not be suitable for inconel and chrome, subject to ASTM and customer's requirements.

agreed. it is really subject to the risks and the remunerations compensations.
sometimes, certain jobs in office can be well paid than offshore and vice versa.

Hi all,

I was offered a position as a Field/Project Engineer at a company that do pipeline field joint coating services.

I am quite attracted to the position because of the opportunity to go offshore, but I am not sure if having a career in this field (field joint coating services) will give me a good career growth in this industry. Can any sifus/anyone in the industry give your advise on this? I am actually very interested in pipeline/subsea engineering and wish to have a career in this field in future.

Not sure about the increase in NDT companies.

Inconel, duplex etc are more exotic type materials/CRA hence expensive and lesser used which brings me to the conclusion that carbon steel is still the most used material (structure and piping considered).

Basic in NDT is type of material and type of defect to find. Ferrous and non ferrous materials have different types of testing and so does the defect types. as my memory fails me in NDT cant really advise much more than this.

Because each course cost to 3-5.5k each I would suggest to get a MPI cert first which is somewhat (not guaranteed) easier to get jobs. DPI ---- if possible get in house certification ASNT LV-II. RT go to AELB test center in bangi for MLVK level 1 or straight take the interpreter course (without AELB course and badge no working with the radioactive material). UT well you can ask TWI about it.

I would like to share this out with you guys here.

Bro, I get to dig deeper its a job scam. That fella created a website which is http://h20pdrilling.com/index.htm

Btw, I actually did call the number for Singapore and it does not exist, later on I found out the number posted in Jobstreet Malaysia look fishy, the same goes to his website, too ordinary simple. Added more is the time of skype interview at 5PM, which I can only think of its morning time for the UK, but their website show they are a US company posting on Jobstreet Singapore. I search google map for the address and I feel there is something fishy with that location. Too many mismatch info I had notice. Please find attached below the email reply from him, asking for skype id and certification which might be useful to be use as forgery.

Someone share his scam job at here http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=576642

and this fella is posting classified job post on Jobstreet Malaysia and Jobstreet Singapore

http://job-search.jobstreet.com.my/malaysi...=&area=1&src=12
http://job-search.jobstreet.com.sg/singapo...=&area=1&src=12

+17134912870 (USA), +27105003927 (South Africa) <<Purpose I posted his number so that in future anyone who google this number will get to find this out  flex.gif

Please take note and share it out, I have not reported this to Jobstreet yet.

My friend tried it last week. Within only 15 minutes of skype interview, she got a position of offshore drilling engineer and they offer her high salaries BUT she need to pay him first about MYR 3500. Oh my god. I think it is a scam. Very simple interview and secured a good job but need to pay. Im not going to try it because thru my search i cant find any projects handled by this company. Something smell very fishy
