Speaking of which, the thing in this industry is that most of the companies have a selective preference towards UTP and UTM graduates. Which is sometimes very hard to comprehend. I personally do not like how UTM is grading their students. There's no bell shape curve; exams are pretty easy; most of the students scores exceptionally well if you care enough to put it a fair amount of effort.

Now, what i am trying to say here is that their graduates are no better than graduates from other universities who score a cgpa of 3.5 and above. In fact, some of UTM graduates are so terrible in interviews and their high cgpa certainly does not reflect the amount of theoretical knowledge they had (well, not surprisingly). So the question is, why are they given all the opportunities? I.e interviews and stuff. Why are the students from other unis are being ignored especially those who worked their ass off to beat the bell shape curve and ended up having a cgpa of 3.6-3.7. Are we not human? Do we not deserve an equal opportunity at least for an interview?

Thank you UTM for swamping the market with thousands of 3.8-3.9 students every year.

MMHE is Malaysia's top shipyard and it is alluded to be world class yard with experience in building world class structures like SSPC FPS Gumusut Kakap, SSPC TLP Malikai. It has a subsidary of MISC and Petronas.
Salary is top of the range if you know how to negotiate.

A lot of benefits and rewards if you know the way.

Yes, I heard also they don't have much project after most of it have taken by TTHE or Sapukencang.
Some rumors said might be thousand of employees will receive the VSS soon due to project not too much.

Come on la...i work for a shipping company and based at MMHE for 1 year now. The culture in MMHE is bad to the bone. There are scrapping off the bottom of the barrel. Now no more new job except Malikai and those lousy marine repair/ship drydocking work which will never turn a profit.

MMHE don't respect client....their customer. Also the corruption in this yard is like cancer. Buy safety sign for ship order from Greece. Just imagine. Pasar mlm also jual safety sign...u buy from Greece.

Many contractor now facing bankruptcy. No more job. MMHE also dont pay contractor payment. Even rental car given to Shell, MMHE dont pay then car rental company tarik the car...ekeke. This what happen. I work there 1 year already maa...

   

Guys sorry to intrude, don't know where-else to ask. From what I know is that on Nov 21-22 in UTM, O&G Festival 2013 is happening, major O&G players will be attending.

But what I want to confirm is that has anyone heard about SapuraKencana having a walk in interview on Nov 23 in Thistle Hotel JB? Asking here cause not sure if rumor or true. Thanks.

I'm a fresh grad from Electrical background trying to dive into O&G field. Currently in Semicon Manufacturing field.

DESB staff detected 

Currently working with an MNC in the telecommunications industry, dealing with contracts. Looking to jump ship as I feel that I am underpaid and undervalued, based on my capabilities and qualifications. Furthermore, I do not see any chances of progressing in my career in the current organization. This is my first job and I have been working for 2.5 years.

I understand that the discussion in this thread is mainly related to jobs on the technical side, but are there any industry veterans here who can provide additional information on the commercial aspects of the O&G industry? Also, if I were to be still interested in dealing with contracts in my next job, is the O&G industry a good one to be in?

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before; I may have missed it.

Hi guys,

i have been a lurker for a few months now. Just asking if there are any vacancies for a Contracts Exec or project/Cost Controller position available in any companies. My current contract is gonna end in a couple of months and the company has not won a big project to retain all staff. So looks like im going out. FYI i have been involved with the Gumusut Kakap Project for 1 and half years. Do let me know if anything pops up. Thanks.

Not petra but sapura acergy

Hi guys, I am an ex-employee of SapuraKencana Bestwide (3 years of service). I am writing this to inform everyone who wants to join about pros and cons. Most of my friends currently inside is dying to get out, they have to serve 3 months notice period or pay it off (trap)  mad.gif

As the name suggest, this is a subsidiary of SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd. This subsidiary oversees the engineering and project management of Kencana EPC team.

The Pros :

1. Lots of projects (CPP and Riser Platforms) & project tender
2. Office in Publika  drool.gif  rclxm9.gif  icon_idea.gif

The Cons :

1. Below market salary for local engineers
2. Bad management system
3. No reward for performing staff
4. Very high turnover rate
5. Office politics (Inter-department and Intra-department)
6. Not as well established as other consultancy
7. Lip service to retain staff
8. No career prospect
For anyone who is thinking of joining this company, please consider twice. Oil and Gas is not everything unless the pay is good / career prospect is there.

Cheers.

i am the one who struggling inside now.

My contract with EMEPMI sudah mau habis. Project nearly completion. Gotta secure other job cepat2.
