One thing I would like to share my tought here. The reason I help you guys here assisting in O&G jobs is to break racism mentality in this industry. I hate racism seriously and myself is from Sarawak (a Melanau native) and its kinda sad for me looking at racism happening at Peninsular Malaysia. Please O&G is a mix nationalities from all over the world and you cant move forward if you mix within your racial community only. Teamwork is very important in meeting project deadline so please buangkan mentaliti racist korang yang macam jahanam nih.

So bila aku dah tolong korang secure jobs into O&G, next time bila ada kawan2 nak masuk O&G nih korang kena tolong jugak tak kisah bangsa dia Iban ka, Kadazan ka, Murut ka, Melayu ka, Cina ka, India ka, Orang Asli ka mesti tolong based on his merit and academic achievement. Ada paham? brows.gif

Okay aku serius jap posting. Lek lek isap kok dulu sepukol broooooo brows.gif

I've been following the thread since V2 but it's rare to find a post on racism issue.

Bro, tell us more about the other side of this industry. Its interesting to hear those dark stories blush.gif Lots of people/student (including me) only want to join this business due to big money, but fail to consider the downside.

racism.

its a common thing in my department..my HOD is expat, so he always give a big project to expat lead only..local lead just get small scale project, or petronas project because petronas want at least one local people involve in the project..

I learn everything on myself..he denying me for training and any learning course because he said that all training doesn't give any benefit to me..once I kantoi because I spend time to practice hysys, he ask me either I do it because of company goals or my personal achievement goals..he said I just can do anything that give benefits to company.

hahahahha..let the rest be a history..

I've struggle for 2 years in that environment and now bye all.! hahaha..my last day is 28 may..

the feeling is like u working at another country, not Malaysia..and during the company downsizing exercise, they just retrench local people..expat is not affected at all..
*
wow even worse than what I expected. No training to expand skill? And here every OnG company promotes that there is no boundary and is a global player.

The dark side of this industry? You will be facing an oldtimers who his/her mentality & attitude is like Chinaman-style (not many but some), but again you will learn a lot of valuable knowledge from those oldtimers.

For the first five years in this industry, expect longer working hours, hati mau kental & tabah kena maki & marah by seniors, humiliated by your boss in front of rakan sekerja lulz ohh yaa you gonna forever alone liao takda gelpren & boypren lulz coz they tidak tahan with your gruelling longer working hours

Hi sifus,

I'm just starting as instrument engineer joining a small local company. Could you guys shed some info what is the best path for instrument or is this career doesn't have a bright prospect?


1) as field engineer - metering, calibration, installation

2) design/ consultant

3) system side - dcs programming


which side should I join first?

I have went there for an assessments 4-5 months past for a maintenance Engineer post.

For my iv@assessment..Quite challenging though..there will have a group project and one week later,they will call us for a second assessment.

No face to face interview...All will be in group and for another assessment how we will going to repair/do a service to the pigging parts inside the workshop..
*
is previous knowledge required? Are you from mechanical background by any chance? I'm from electrical and have the slightest idea on piping, pigging etc.

Now I can see my chance diminishing already.

For downstream, they have department performing inspection such as MFL floor scanning and intelligent pigging. Me engage them for certain inspection work

(^__^)

I will be interviewed for field service engineer post. So I guess, that would be normal piping inspection?

I went for an interview with Rosen... And I got the job...

Can you describe or share some info regarding the process, please? And what post are you offered as? Are you a fresh graduate when you undertook the assesment? Sounds like it would be hard.

Yeay..Im mechanical graduate..Now in Oil & Gas consultant already..

During my time..about 30-40 candidates inside the presentation room..

and they will filter until 10-15 candidates for a second assessment..
*
yea guess so. as far as i remembered, I applied something related to instrument. but oh well, might as well go to the interview and start making friends. who know cant get a job there, but can get a cable later.

Do you have any tips, what should be my focus? I should start reading on pigging and piping? any specific topic?

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.
*
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?

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  smile.gif  smile.gif  smile.gif

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.
