I assure u im different than him. I've been there, working as a 'kuli batak' previously before joining UTP. I just like the atmosphere of 'client' and wanted to gain some experience there, get to learn and work from a different perspective. That's just what I've always aimed for..nevertheless, I would not hesitate joining service companies if given the opportunity. Just that, right now is a really bad time..even SLB is firing 9k staffs and most companies are freezing their recruitments.

I actually saw ur reply on costing etc..haha..I was in the Mechanical & Piping department. Good thing joining small company is that I get to learn a lot with my own initiatives. My jobscope was actually just to handle the installation of mechanical equipments. However, I jadi rajin a bit and got myself involved in MTO, Lifting Plans, NDT, Weld Maps etc. I'm trying to be optimistic here, I've known people with no experience getting jobs for experienced people. I myself was called for an interview whereby all the candidates were working 2-3 years and I was still studying

see..u atually learned alot more in contractor side. After few years when u join client u'll be equipped. Not just simply talk. Art of management cannot be taught or mastered in short terms.

hahaha..it's just that I felt really under-appreciated..I was doing the hardwork but my fellow colleagues doing clerk's work got the good side of the boss. & honestly I just couldn't see how I could develop more in that company. Any good contractor u would recommend?? nak try apply

Oceancare
Velosi
Innovative oilfield services
PBJV
JGC
Amalmagated
Linde
Gusteam
Dayang enterprise
Petra energy


Those are the co that i always see around. Just mentioning. Dont know the people working there.

or is it the money that you're after? even the service company that you intend to join is a top player, and if possible, you want to join the client side.

i'm sure with your experience, and your UTP brand, local companies are willing to take you, no?

Thanks so much..will apply ASAP

Oh my..I can't help but to feel the negative vibe from u. I guess u've misunderstood me from the beginning. By 'kuli batak' I really mean it,at PROTON one of my tasks was buang sampah everyday, kikis cat lantai etc. I did that for an allowance of just RM200 purely because I desired the knowledge that I could obtain there. As for SLB, it was just one of my "lucky strikes" to get the interview with them before this and I applied coz I want to experience working as Field Engineer particularly DNM or Wireline.

Reason for me to dream of joining client is for sure not the money, I'm sure u know better that service companies pay more than client. I merely want the experience there and to have a work-life balance so that I could spend some time on my photography

Lastly, I do hope and praying hard that my experience and UTP brand can help me get a decent job soon though I'm pretty sure UTP brand is not really being looked at by employers nowadays.

then if you want to join into wireline, and dont mind the pay, maybe can try your luck with dayang or wireline bid.

sure..will apply there as well...thanks

I was under the impression that most client side was all loud mouth and NATO. Most not all.

Those who start from the client(operator) side rarely has good management and technical skills because everything is done by the contactors.

Btw art of management can be taught and mastered in short period of time. Doesnt mean you have been doing the job for 30 years you will be a good manager/CSR etc......

Good leaders command respect.....thinking your talking/experience and you have what it takes to manage is bullshit.

During my time, most problems came from the consultant..haha..was shocked to see that a lower-positioned staff in consultant bashing managers in contractors. I believe leaders are born, experience and knowledge alone won't suffice without talent.

By the way, I have an interview with Gas Malaysia Berhad this Wednesday for Operation Process Engineer post. Do u guys have any experience with the interview or anything related to the company?

clients are always bashing contractors for non delivery
and contractors are always bashing clients for not knowing their shit.
it happens both sides...

just how you manage things

and many sour grapes bash for being bashed in the first place

wherever you are, learn as much as possible as knowledge is unlimited

Some of the operator attitude especially towards the contractor are loud chest beating, display of bravado, out right and shameless BS'ing and acting. It is a good place to learn it if you like to display those attitude and still be able get away with it.(You know, it doesn't work with family and friends) If leadership to you means influence then I believe some contractor have a better environment to develop this.

Hello everyone. I am new here i was wondering if i am now working in a downstream OnG company, is there any training or certificate i could take so that my resume would be impressive for an OnG upstream company?

It's an uphill task to advise you since we have no idea which discipline you are in now and which area in O&G upstream that you are aiming to be in!

Good morning guys...

any vacancy?

i think if they really want to lay off, just bloody layoff those expensive expats. petronas has darn too many of them from top to bottom. and half of them are useless as feck.

anywho, baker and halliburton merger seems more negative then positive for the working class. well it seem for the coming months/years perhaps this the oil price we live with.

doa la ekonomi dan harga minyak improve for the better.
