Being in a large contractor, that's what we get a lot of the time and a lot of pointless requests as well.

But being in a contractor firm does have several advantages especially if they're big and you've stayed long enough. WFT and Halli constantly move their employees around for training and cross section experience. So you're never really tied in to one project, get to travel, make a lot of connections and learn a lot.

Contractors are one of the best places to start off your career if you want to rise the ranks fast.

Don't worry about being unexperienced, if anything happens just blame the contractor for being sneaky

WFT you mean wetehrford?, if yes then man they stopped doing it long time. now its a cutthroat thing between dept. staffs movement is seen as other dept trying to whisk/steal their personnel, not growth/progression.

But i am mechanical background, so i think electronic giant might be suit for me. What do you think?

Yokogawa? Honeywell? Emerson?

I thot usually minimum 2 months for these companies?

Not so long lah, up until late 2012 they were still sending people around and back to Texas for training.

But under their new APAC management who are ex-Schlumberger, they're now cutting costs and counting profit per employee and telling employees under the old contract to bugger off while hiring new people who will accept the new terms.

They called me up and offered me a 2/1 roster with a package of 100k dollars a year and on 12 hour days about 2 months back. But no completions bonus, 2 weeks off a year only and no health cover. Wasn't a good deal.

Hi guys, is there any opening for Quality engineer position in your company or friends? intermediate level with 7 years of experience and had been in various type of project, FSO conversion, Fabrication yard, TNI and ISO certification. certified as a Lead auditor and Visual welding inspector. Appreciate your input guys.

I still cant decide to work onshore or offshore???
All comments are welcome....Cheers

If you want to get in the most useful thing is experience.

Second most useful thing would be a useful cert like CSWIP.

CHOC walk-in interview.

Which Petrofac? PML? PEC? PES? It takes me around 2-3 weeks for feedback. Not sure for fresh grad interview session but mine kinda straigt forward with the SM & GM. Only one face-to-face session. Will reporting for duty soon (PML)

So you're Encik belacan?

hi guys, any advises would be very much appreciated.

I got an interview for the SL1M program with Sapura Kencana and at the same time i got interview with a small oil and gas company as Sales Engineer in the same week. I want to know which one is better if i got both the SL1M program and the job. For me, my goal is i want to become field engineer and work offshore. So i was wondering which offer is better for me to achieve my goal in the future.

Thanks

Ditch the sales engineer and take SL1M SK job
