Not yet get the offer, receive call for an interview. As describe in JD, success candidates will join the Engineering Design team as Mechanical Engineer...

their field jobs are very rewarding in term of gaining experience.
refer to S'pore NOV (drilling, tubular, completions), based on a few ex-colleagues' network inside, pay wise good but certain departments office politics are not so healthy.

if you do not have existing OJT welding and NDT experience, pls do not waste your $. without those experience gained knowledge and skills with proper theories, the exam questions are difficult to be answered.
unless you are sponsored by your company.

stick to aviation especially Turbomachinery - part of oil & gas/power plant/aviation, it is trending now, follow the business news, does not need to join o&g.

real life application courses which are documented and sharing with Engineers are coming from SPE, ain't cheap. without real life experience or basic fundamentals in petroleum, one may waste the $ to attend the course.

apologise to those whatever academy, some just start to boom and wanna take a piece of the pies in the market by fishing those fresh and wanna into o&g, just a way of making $. they will not last in the market.

rule of thumb, does not necessary join o&g, understand yourself: strength, background qualifications and nurture from there to become niche.
i have no idea why all must join o&g just because the trending or ?

Greetings guys, I am a electrical engineering grad who wants to give up electrical field entirely and be a drilling engineer. Below average cgpa, but very much willing to work offshore.

Current experience includes; power/utilities (TNB for 3 mths), IT/business project management (Accenture for 3 mths), Facilities O&M (Intel Corp for 7 mths), and project/construction/commissioning (Klang Valley MRT Project for 3 mths and counting). Qualifications none.

I have tried applying in many companies but obviously yet to be called for interview. I would like to know what qualifications can I arm myself with to obtain higher chances of being called for an interview? I have tried for Shell graduate programme before (passed all online tests), but never got called to the SRD. Thanks for all inputs.
Also I'm somewhat intrigued in the project management side of things, there was this experienced professional who was sharing his experience about O&G project management in Sime Darby Oil. He mentioned that work was hectic, bosses stuck in office for long hours, staff sleeping/take bath in office, and projects keep on coming which causes staff to juggle multiple projects at a time. Is the situation still the same or has everything cooled down? I am very intrigued in this field also, so mohon share how to get into this if being a drilling engineer is not possible.

And also, mohon mod update link pdf Instok. Very powerful pdf, but I lost it. Thanks.
*
my guess one better don't join o&g if one cannot take the hectic and the fast-paced.
Talk/Typing vs Put into Action is different thing.

Its fun to read all the conversations here, but segan nak join.

I guess people have heard of onesubsea, I got offered to their GRDP (sorta like graduate program) with 4 years bond (2 years rotation, 2 years work) and quite an ok pay for fresh graduate. Its more manufacturing even though ada nama O&G. Contemplating since im from chemical background.

The thing is their offer comes too early. I havent done exploring, but scared as well, yang dikejar tak dapat, digendong sudah cicir. LOL. I still wanna go to interviews. Hahaha.

Slb and Cameron integration company since around 2 years ago. Last heard last year from 1 talk speaker still bit challenging for their integration. Downstream fabrication. Not sure about now. If u r fresh, learn as much as you can. Know and understand what u want.

Hi guys, I am invited by Scomi to join Assessment Center next friday for their management trainee programme. Anyone here has experience or currently working at Scomi or has information about the assessment day? I have been googling but got only few information about the assessment. Hoping to get some tips on how to approach the assessment. Thanks.

was offered Engineer post after passed the MT math, english, iq, verbal, listening tests, group discussion, cases analysing tests, interviews back to year 2007. no MT post for me as i have few years construction technical experience prior joining, succeeded all the assessments.
lot of good exposure for their MT at various business units with mentor.

go and try out yourself and all the best! no tips for me last time and all by myself (no any guidances/ advice), just present yourself and try your best. drool.gif

For turbomachinery, what can be the niche? machinery diagnosis? operational performance?
*
field service for turbomachinery. normally consist of a team with 1x to hundreds field service members/engineers. depends on the thousands hours of overhaul/inspection.

in a field service team for outage, it may be day and/or night shift, subject to customer requirements.
it may be borescope inspection, rotor inspection, combustion inspection, hot gas path inspection, major inspection subject to the running hours.
it may be a GTG engineer, instrument and auxiliary engineer, QA/QC, T&C engineer, etc, depends on the outage and agreement with the customers.
some of the posting require minimum 5 years experience with proper qualifications or 10 years experience with proper qualifications. some start from fresh graduate program to become niche, some switch from aviation.

after 2 years plus with Scomi, our business unit was divested to a japanese conglomerate, i was "sold" to them too...
after 6 years plus, i have left this business unit and join a US company, the 7th largest company in the world among the Forbes Global 2000 (year 2014 ranking). a newly created pioneer post in Asia-Pacific, not a replacement post.

If the company require u to work at the customer plant, it will be a minor part of the requirement for OGSP. It is your employer's responsibility to send u.

It is about how u market urself and fine-tune your CV. With only the first 2 years in the industry, certain customers already phoned me for intetview if wanna go join them without my latest CV available to them. But i rejected them politely, after 6 years plus, almosy every week got 1 to 3 phone call or/and email for opportunities local, UK, China, Russia, MidEast...
Always update ur CV and upload to their database.

build your qualifications and solid experience at the same time.

Because everyone keeps hearing about how good the industry pays. Which is correct to an extent but most don't know anymore than that and if they don't know more than that, it is very very hard to get in.

Agreed.
Also under hot working weather 40 plus degree C and humidity more than 80%.
They only know google then copy and paste...they read and or listen this that then want to join without consideration of their own background qualifications and experience which if nurture properly which may become more lucrative and satisfaction.

Haha, you'd be surprise too that there are those office-based peeps from low-to-mid tier level that got there because:
1) They f**ked up too spectacularly in the field, costing their company $$$ and thus moved out (to office) by boss to minimize damage!
2) Those who hush-hush hurry for any opening in the office (coz wifey says so)!

Not starting a flame war between office vs field guys - but just from my observation laa...

Hello everyone,

Just hoping to get some opinion here. Same here, graduated with a chem eng degree last year. Been working in a project management role for almost a year in the oil and gas industry. Am hoping for a more technical role in the future. Was gonna leave my comfort zone and do a full time master degree. Some say that this is a suicidal mission and that probably i wont make it back to the industry.

I received offers from Heriot-Watt, UTM & UTP albeit its research mode in UTP and taught for the former two. I am in a terrible dilemma. So should I do a research mode master degree or a taught one? Negative thoughts has been running all over my head since and that research masters are less recognized by employers. Is this true?

Fees is a factor here. Assuming that I do not want to continue phD after masters, which is the best choice for me given my current scenario. However, I also hear that some people say that companies employed people based on their accomplishment which is an indication of their capability and that their research title is secondary (even though its not related).

P/s: Research title is on EOR.

Help me pleaseeee. Desperately wanna hear an opinion or two.

In the South-East-Asia market, there are 2 very active PhD from Petronas Dr. Keng Seng Chan and Dr. Rahim Masoudi. You may want to find a way to see how you can go from your current situation.

Hi guys,
sory for spamming..im so the very much desperate nw to get a job..why is it so hard to get a call for a job iv??I was rejected and being dumped by two companies at the very final stage sad.gif u knw the bitter feelings when u r being pushed away to the starting point when u r one more step to the summit. I was very VERY VERY frustrated after all the hard journey and turbulence tht i've been through from the one-to-one iv,case study,group iv,ppt,technical assessment when finally at d very last minute u r being dejected while ur friends dy secured dey job n u r wasting ur money for the transportation tickets and accommodation for the sake of those ivs?i mean what r the purposes of making these 3-7 stages of iv.gosh next tyme y dun u do 10000 stages of iv to filter all those 'feelingless' applicants.now i need to regain my strength and emotion from the scratch again sad.gif any motivational words or vacancies available for those who r not that very much outspoken and dun really knw the technique to gebang and do all sweet talking stuff.any advice?any ideas what r d general criteria n requirements needed by ong comp? icon_question.gif

Sincerely from,
someone who din receive any iv offer after those two sad sad ivs
p/s im a product of local uni
*
when i was fresh graduate with 1-2 years experience got 1 such similar chance like the above, went through a few stages but no need pay flight tickets and accommodation, just need pay car petrol and parking, at the end not given offer. but i did not type anything like the above at here.
i kept trying. and at last 1 Management Trainee (MT) program helped me kick-start after many stages of assessments with 1000 plus applicants but was offered Engineer by the HR instead of MT post.

so action instead of "complain" and "blaming", etc.
any why must O&G? please try other fields. O&G not so suitable for those "complain" instead of "action" because if there were challenges, this kind of people may cause incidents in the field if not solve within seconds or minutes and waiting to complain to his/her boss.

besides the safety shoes/boots is comfort to wear (require a few times wearing to run-in to fit your legs shape) and comply to ASTM F2413/EN 20345/AS NZS 2210.3, it is highly recommended that it is also punctured resistant S3.

some pecos in the market not S3 compliance.

Y ong?bcoz i took petroleum engineerng which eventually limits my hunting areasĀ  cry.gif

now reasoned with taking petroleum engineering and limit your job hunting...

so for those consider to take the petroleum engineering, pls to ensure you are really interested and have the capability, not just follow the trend/$... at the end,?!?!
study what one's really interested in and have the strength in and not just oil & gas the only career. there are other great ones!
