Hi seniors, I am a Mechanical Engineering Degree fresh graduate. I received an interview invitation from SapuraKencanx in Lumut for position of assistance project engineer. I would like to know whether they would ask me technical questions about O&G during the interview, because my study barely touch about O&G, at most fluid mechanics. if they ask, what kind of technical questions they will ask? so that I could at least self study abit. thank you very much.

Hi seniors, I would like to have some opinions from you for my situation here.
I am a fresh graduate. I got two offers at the same time now.

1. SapuraKencana HL based in Lumut, position is simply graduate engineer.

2. Favelle Favco based in Senawang, position is mechanical engineer. FYI, Favco is specialised on offshore crane.

Both offer the same salary, Favco offer slightly better side-benefits.

For future prospect wise, which one is better? Why?
Do you think Kencana HL is a better stepping stone for me to work in O&G industry?

your opinions are highly appreciated.

Based on your scenario, i would recommend 1.

SapuraKencana HL Lumut has high profile project in Australia by Bechtel and Chevron. They have been sub-contracted the fabrication and supply of 42 LNG modules, big project.

The Wheatstone project itself is not as tough as you think it is. The problem is the people.

Firstly remember the bestwide guy's post in this thread....regarding the cons....Everyone of it is true.

Secondly if you are in Wheatstone project you will be doing it until the second train sails away, contractually you cant be part of two project at the same time hence if you're in the construction team you are stuck in this project for a very long time.....but if you're in engineering I think you will leave the project earlier once engineering support is done.

Remember as a fresh grad never reveal any info to your client without written approval from your direct boss. Better yet just ask the client straight go see your boss......this project dont pandai pandai it might come back to bite you.

+ Prepare for headache in getting information or anything done (more than normal)-----well this is typical kencana anyway.

+ Procedures are most of the time for show case (well unless something happens then everyone refers to it whistling.gif )

Most of this is public knowledge anyway.

By the way wheatstone ISBL is 45 modules as the tendering doc goes....kencana has subbed half of the modules to a chinese company. Kencana is doing all the big ones....you can see just across the project office.

But if you ask me if the experience is worth it or not......that depends on what position you are offered as the experience alone covers all the cons.

wow... thanks for your advice... it helps me to get mentally prepared.
Ya. I will involve in the wheatstone project as stated in my agreement.

But I have learnt that Kencana is a good place as stepping stone for fresh grads in O&G industry. Is it wrong?
Btw, my hometown is in selangor. my plan is to gain my working experience from there for 3-5years and returned to selangor. Hopefully I am able to survive for these period.

My future supervisor who interviewed me, did ask my ability in mandarin speaking, reading and writing as i will deal with client from china kinda thing.
And he asked my ability to work under critical working environment, as my job would be mostly outdoor and on certain height location. seems tough...
