For those who already emailed to Petrofac referrals inbox, remember to put your subject title as per position list (job name & job request number) for example -

Subject : PM304 HSSE Analyst (XXXXXX)

Subject : Berantai Account Asisstant (XXXXXX)

This would ease the HR to do search query in the inbox according to job request number. Ohh ya dont bother to ask for internship or fresh grad opening to that inbox because from my past experience chit-chat with local headhunter & recruiter at other companies, they dont have time to respond to your query on internship & fresh grad application.

Please take note that the critical job opening for Petrofac is ideally for EXPERIENCED CANDIDATES only for the time being. If you notice from the email that I have forward, there are also non-core technical personnel required which is more to Finance role too.

If you ask me how to apply for Graduate Programme here, I simply have no idea at the moment. Aku tak sempat bersalam & berkenalan with the whole staff liao. I have been assigned to special task at my very first week working here so please stop bombarding my PM at LYN inbox lulzzzzz

Happy weekend. Aku nak gi layan wayang jap. Pening kepala liao

Giler la. Otai offshore dah nak kerja KL ker? Lama sangat tak jumpa tanah ka boss..

Hi all, I have been following this thread since the previous versions. My background is in commercial and contracts management and I am looking to enter into the O&G industry in my next career move. How is the employment outlook in this industry for someone with my expertise?

Based on my initial search of job openings, it appears that most employers would prefer candidates with prior experience in the O&G industry.

My background is similar like you but I focus on onshore & offhore construction & fabrication. Have you handle any EPCM before?

Apparently this headhunter/recruiter is a football fanatic too hehe myself is a Liverpool FC fan

Thanks for your response. The nature of the contracts that I've been working on do not appear to be based on the EPCM methodology in its entirety. I'm in the telco industry. Are O&G contracts a different ball game altogether?

Hi mohdyakup. I found this back in 2012 at oil and gas careers v2. FYI, I also get an offer from Muhibbah Engineering in recent to work on heat recovery system for oil and gas platform as process engineer. What is your opinion on this company and their prospect? Mind to share if you know more about it?

I dont know much about working condition at Muhibbah & Kejuruteraan KQKS but if you ask me both company is great start to built your O&G project reference in your CV. Just take the offer. Current market are not for fresh grad at the moment. Just grab any opportunity in front of you

Its not that different as O&G contract management be it EPCC, EPCM, EPCIC, EPCC are built on the same common foundation of general contracting term, just a little bit twist here and there as stipulated by Petronas PSC agreement and Petronas GSCMD-SCM governance. My advice is you take any role as Commercial Exec, Proposal & Tender Exec at any O&G contractor side to build your project reference. Its a good start anyway since you have commercial acumen in your CV

MMHE to face challenging times ahead as margin thins
by Sharon Kongsharonkong@theborneopost.com. Posted on May 12, 2014, Monday

KUCHING: Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MMHE) is likely to face challenging times ahead as its margin thins, after recording a weak first quarter of 2014 (1Q14).

In a financial statement to Bursa Malaysia, MMHE stated that the group’s operating profit is lower at RM34.6 million for 1Q14 against RM55.7 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013.

The earnings came in below most analysts’ expectations, which has resulted in some lowering their financial year 2014 (FY14) and FY15 forecasts.

According to analyst Aaron Tan Wei Min from the research arm of MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research), MMHE is likely to have a lag in earnings recognition.

Tan noted that management had guided that it has yet to recognise any profit from the Malikai tension leg platform (Malikai TLP), adding that project earnings are expected to be recognised earliest in 2Q14.

“In addition, earnings from the SK316 project will be recognised earliest in 3Q14. As such, we foresee rough quarters ahead arising from lag in timing recognitions,” he pointed out.

Overall, MIDF Research is revising its FY14 and FY15 earnings downwards by 21.5 and 16.8 per cent respectively.

“We are assuming lower margins from the offshore segment given tight competition locally and globally. This is evident from the weakening offshore operating margin.

“In addition, we are negative on MMHE due to the tail-end nature of the orderbook and mid-to-back-end loaded earnings recognition of its major contracts,” the analyst projected.

MIDF Research further noted that the offshore business is also expecting potential new job orders to come in by the tail-end of the year, whereas the marine business segment is facing stiff regional competition from increased vessel repair capacity.

“Given its current predicament, FY14 could be an unfavourable year for the group,” Tan opined.

On the other hand, RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd (RHB Research) has a more positive outlook on MMHE, believing that the group is expecting more news flow in the second half of FY14 (2HFY14).

“We expect new platform fabrication projects to be announced in 2H of 2014 (2H14), driven by Petroliam Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas) effort to increase the domestic oil production via enhanced oil recovery (EOR) initiatives.

“We expect the turnkey central processing platform, Bardegg 2 project to be awarded by 3Q14,” it projected.

The research housed added that it believes this project could fetch RM1 billion to RM1.2 billion, of which MMHE stands a fair chance of winning with ample yard capacity.

That said, it trimmed its FY14/FY15 forecasts by 5.1 and 7.5 per cent respectively as it lowers its estimated contribution from associates and value of works to be done in both years as it conservatively build in delays in project deliveries.

As for the research arm of Maybank Investment Bank Bhd (Maybank IB Research), it highlighted that its forecasts for MMHE are unchanged.

The research arm expects higher RM2.5 billion to RM3 billion of job wins for 2014 based on MMHE’s RM4 billion RM5 billion tender book (50 per cent international) versus RM2.6 billion won in 2013.

“MMHE, in our view, is heading in the right direction to be regionally competitive. While still reliant on domestic works, plans are in place to break into overseas markets,” Maybank IB Research opined.

It further noted that MMHE’s cost control is improving as the group progressively adopts good operating practices.

“The on-going yard optimisation allows MMHE to target sizeable platform structure jobs, worth over RM1 billion each,” the research arm added.

All in, Maybank IB Research maintained its ‘buy’ rating on MMHE while RHB Research reiterated its ‘neutral’ call on the stock. In contrast, MIDF Research reiterated its ‘sell’ recommendation on MMH.

I'm facing the same problem as most of the fresh graduates here.

Here's a little about myself. I graduated from the Russian Federation with a degree in Aeronautical and Rocket Engineering in 2011 and I've been working in the aircraft maintenance industry since then. I've been trying to secure a position in the oil and gas industry, preferably drilling and mechanical. But I've never gotten positive feedback from any of the companies I've applied to. The closest I've ever gotten is a phone call from Nabors but they never got back to me. I even tried Petronas Cari Gali for their operations in Turkmenistan because I speak Russian fluently but they were looking for experienced employees. I'm Sabahan but currently working in Terengganu. I've been away from home for the better part of the decade so location is not a factor for me.

So should I just give up on Oil & Gas?

How about an inexperienced candidate but eager to learn? Can I try?

I dont want to sugarcoat my statement but a litte bit tough for you to try applying here at Petrofac.

Refer to my previous post reply. Try apply O&G MWS related companies. MWS - marine warranty survey services

Yeah, I did read your previous posts.
This is the first time someone has suggested MWS to me. Do you think that I'm more suitable for a position in that line? I'm sorry. I know very little about MWS.

Do you like to work and stay overseas? Have you considered a career in diplomatic service? Your fluency in Russian will definitely give you an extra advantage over the others. But this career will be government pay grade laaa...
