how is the job opportunity to work in singapore as a civil engineer nowadays if I graduated in NON-RU with second upper class degree honour? I heard that there're pretty much graduate from UTHM work in Singapore as E&E engineer. I 'm not sure about civil engineer. . Which company is good for civil engineer to work in (good remuneration + high chance of being promoted) ?

Got job one. But you got experience or not?

Nowadays, SG companies need to show that they really cannot hire locals then only they can hire foreigners.

UTHM student........... I'm too...

no experience(fresh graduate) , but with second upper class degree honour from NON-RESERACH UNIVERSITY IPTA have high chance?

My brother in law is a civil engineer. What he said was on site engineers are in demand now. Not many people want to do it because apparently, they prefer to be in the air conditioned office. Don't quote me on this, just repeating what he said.

I am not so sure. Out of SG for a long while.

Fresh graduates sure harder.

Keep your options open. Apply for jobs locally and also Singapore.

Unless you really need to work in Singapore now. Working here first might also gain you valuable experience. Singapore can come later.

you are working in SG now? way types of job?

very true... if u r willing to go to site then u r in demand... lots of singkies shun d job but bear in mind risk of injury is higher

That was 2 or 3 decades ago.

Electrical Engineer. Worked on site. Also worked for consultant.

Nowadays, I work with computers.

Didn't want to work with high voltage stuff anymore.

why didn't want to work with high voltage stuff anymore? why u wanna back to msia ?

Working in high voltage stuff was boring to me. I rather do software and electronics stuff.

Malaysia is my country, my home mah. Why not come back?

pergi sahaja. tak balik pun tiada orang kisah.

software not more boring meh? face computer all day long. Mind to tell how old are you now? you are manager now? since you come back fro, SG , so your salary will be higher la?

Yeah. Many things can happen on site.

Piss off the wrong guy and he might just drop a brick on you, from above.

now only knew you are unker liao..

so the SG citizen now not interested in civil engineer job? Can you tell me more about civil engineer?

My age is unker age.

Not always stare at computer lah. I also stare at production workers from Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. Some not bad.

I work for myself.

Salary....I am only making a fraction of my peers back in SG.

But money isn't everything.

retire soon? haha. you are opening a company ? Can you tell more wat do your company do?
