My guess is that you'll be working as a service engineer for vessel cranes. Either that or you'll be placed in an inspection/certification line if the company is TUV or BV. If you specialise in crane maintenance during your onshore spell, you'd find marine cranes to be less of a hassle considering that pedestal cranes are the norm for most offshore vessels.

Maybe something like this;

Nope, but I do play a minor role in the execution front for the installation and maintenance of cranes on offshore facilities. Both cranes and DCS are niche functions, but in two completely different areas. One is mechanical and the other would be classed under C&A. Both pay well with good prospects, so you should weigh your options in terms of package offered, past experience, and of course, your interests.

Hi guys,

I have been offered a job opportunity as entry level engineer in one of major shipyard company. I want to ask if i want to expand my career growth toward oil ans gas industry is this going to be a good start? Or should i seek for a better option? Btw im a fresh grad in mechanical engineering

May I know what is the difference in studies for Msc Petroleum Geology vs Msc Petroleum Geoscience? (course offered by UM)

Thank you in advanced

Shouldn't everyone that works in O&G do like that too?

I don't believe none of you never did that before.
