I do play golf. But im based in perak at the moment

Hi guys,

Just sharing my experience with the freshies.

Currently working as a SHE Officer with a very big FMCG MNC, based in Kch.

Now considering offer from one O & G company in Miri as Corporate SHE Manager, the offer of three times my current salary.

Took a long time for me to get there, but I went through three different industries (13 years in electronics, plantation and food manufacturing) to get to the O & G industry.

So my point is that, even though you dont get there immediately after graduating, sometimes you have to do the hard way, but at least with years of experience, you will get what you want. Never give up! Now at least I will get what I deserve....

wat are the expected salary that u filled in? 3 times current as well?

(^__^)

anyone knows either within Malaysia we got any reliable lead test? no need wasting time always send to US BV for this test...

(^__^)

is this the same as material science position? are those skill the same with material selection & design?

No. More towards procurement and logistics.

Yes, structural engineers DO get to go offshore. As a matter of fact, they have to go if there are brownfield works to be done on the platforms. Structural engineers specializing in platforms life extension and integrity study often need to go to the platform to assess the conditions of the ageing structures in old platform. With Petronas' emphasis on brown field rejuvenation projects like the EOR, old and ageing platforms need to have their "lives" extended beyond the original design life. It's a big opportunity for current offshore structural engineers to divert their expertise to this growing field.

Technip has structural engineers with Ir, so there's plenty of opportunities to train under them and work towards your own Ir ship.

hi there,

i'm about to attend an interview. The job position is most probably of geophysical data acquisition, its a oil and gas service company.

i'm a fresh grad btw and what is the expectant salary for fresh grad for that position?

rotating eqpt engineer job prospect bagus tak compared to discipline lain dlm oil n gas? after 1 year contemplating jump to another line ie more towards management or field work, because working in office 9 to 5 isnt really exciting.. but also thinking to get some real experience in rotating for 3-4 years before making the jump..

maybe i should stick with rotating if its lucrative? just hope the job gets more exciting with more experience

well if you want to be a specialist esp in the field of pumps and compressors, why not, just be a niche in that area, unlike me, im a static equipment engineer, i opt to be a generalist so that i have the option to go to management role next time.

while being a specialist sounds good and lucrative, i cant really see myself doing it.. i reckon 3-4 years is enough time for me to be familiar enough with rotating eqpt that gives me an edge if i opt for a more maangerial role or decide to go more hands on ie field work

basically im wondering if i should do the 3-4 years in rotating or if its not going to give me that much of an edge

If managing is your cup of tea, i suggest changing from rotating to static equipment, as its basically a very broad field of engineering. I can safely say, 50-60 % of plants are made out of static tanks, piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, fired/unfired heaters, etc. Usually, if you have lots of hands on with these equipments, you are ready to take on managing maintenence, managing projects, and lots more.

Btw, if you are like me still less than 3 years experience, i would really recommend you to really go offshore and learn hands on, then go to detail and technical engineering. I have already been offshore for a year plus, still learning tho

definitely would love to go offshore, but cant do it full time due to family reasons.. dream job would be something that is primarily office bound but plenty of chances to go offshore/site..

that said i do like rotating equipment..its so very mechanical once you go deep into the turbomachines

You will definitely go offshore once you are executing the job, either you are with projects or with maintenance. Like me, i do go offshore when there is a project im executing, when there is none, I dont go. Let me tell you, offshore life is a different ball game all together

I played hard to get...hehehehe...

in the end it is a matter of how much i want, so i put in three times...and they are willing to pay...soooo....

hello,

Im a fresh grad in civil engineering n just received an interview invitation from TMH, Just wanna know if somebody here had experience it?

yoo long time no see every one here...or rather long time no wifi/cable connection at the rig

this might sound stupid, but why does a mopu sway like a boat(not as much but very minute ). being the first time being near to a mopu in my fledgling drilling career it kinda startled me since it had all 3 legs preloaded.

Its already 1 year since Im working as piping engineer..honestly I really didnt enjoy my job..no site visit, no offshore at all..only office job design n stress analysis..any offer for operation or maintenance? or maybe HUC..aish!
