almost any field, subsurface also included if you are really keen. Wells, drilling, etc. Im stuck in Surface engineering now (HUC). Still looking for lubang to go in subsurface.

why only aim for petronas? If not for my scholarship bonding obligation, I would have migrated long ago, now just getting exp and skillset for a few years first. Then fly like bro azeril

ben, dayang offer graduate field engineer position?

I think if you really wanna venture into client side next time, there is an option where you join the workpack team guys from HUC contractors first, then get the exp doing workpacks then most likely you will be recruited to join Client HUC side (HUC engineer/OE/Workpacks).

PM me if you wanna talk more about this. I can help

sarawak waters now is rocking, onboard a barge for jacket installation

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.

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

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 have been doing HUC for 1 year plus. Trust me , after a few trips offshore, you will get fedup with the life there and wishing you are back onshore instead. Haha. Longest offshore duration for me was almost 30 days. I know some of hardcore otais here can last for 60 days offsshore

Being a subject matter expert dosent automatically quality you for a managerial position. Yes sure, you can develop skills / knowledge, but remember softskills/leadership is also essential for your development in your career, especially when you are in Client company. So a balance is needed to progress in your career.

Was just about to do well tie in after the drilling. But i presume that all subsequent campaign will be on hold after this

we are also becoming Excel @ Powerpoint Engineers.

USD? where did you get this info from my friend?
