QUOTE(razo2 @ Apr 29 2015, 12:58 PM) Well. Good luck. I just letting you know the reality and life style from a guy that experienced it. If you are single guy, go for it. If married, better have a very understanding wife and kids. There are alot of rules at SG shipyard. More than what get from the public road rules X 3 times. Be prepared to obey their rules, break it once and your fired or banned from that shipyard for 2 years for minor offence. Major go prison. Work starts very early for some shipyard. Sometimes 6 to 7 am VSCC meeting. Work ends probably 6 to 7 pm, sometimes midnight. Depends on the ship/rig schedule. Paper work is one of the worst thing you will experience but is needed for safety and ass covering. If i am not mistaken you get only get 2 safety overall suites for the year in some shipyard. Do your SSSC and remember the rules of checking equipment usage validation and always look above and behind you. Stay there long enough you will grow a pair of eyes behind your head for life. Yeah, actually I used to work at Singapore as a contractor, the safety paperwork part really cannot tahan. But it is for safety, can't complaint much, then when I back to Malaysia, I am really surprised at the safety awareness here. My only concern is their salary range hahaha, if getting 4-5k SGD no point to go back there, as for me, 4-5k standard of living there is equivalent to earning 10k-12k here in Malaysia. And in Malaysia, the room for growth from 10-12k is more.

I knew someone got banned for 2 years at Keppel. Other one got banned 2 years for insulting the security officer at Sembawang. lol. Tax is lower at SG if i am not mistaken. But is a strategy to encourage business and people to work here. Is a rare sight to see a women go shipyard to work at the field. Good to see more women joining the force. I remember at SG shipyard when you see a women at shipyard VSCC meeting, it will light up the day. Really. So rare I seen women CO, CE and Super.

QUOTE(zalambur @ Apr 27 2015, 07:33 PM) Any one know the salary range for project engineer in Singapore shipyard engineering department? Got an interview there but thinking is it worth it to attend as I am currently in oil and gas already. There are many Indian national and China national fighting for job in Singapore, 12 years experience asking 4k SGD. 12 years PE 4k SGD? too low la....they tend to spoil the market

QUOTE(mohdyakup @ Apr 29 2015, 03:44 PM) Any otai Cost Engineer/Cost Controller/Project Accountant in this thread who has extensive experience in Downstream construction project? I am interested to make connection with you. Ayam sadding because ayam punya friends Cost Engineer banyak orang Upstream project only. Sadding liao. If your goal is to continue be a village hero in Malaysia, you just hope someone discover an oil field in West Malaysia that can produce 500000 barrel per day. Else, you can continue dream on.

Sorry brother, everyday confirmed need 1000-2000 unreported accidents, 500-1000 reported accidents, 200-500 of serious injuries and 10-20 fatalities. If today got < 10 fatalities, tomorrow will get >30. So, for people that refuse to drive safe, just let them be, at least they will help fill up the quotas and we will be safe

Working in ME can easily get SGD9k for the same post where close to 8.5k I can bring back home directly.

Safety standard are come from heart, not by procedures/paper. Nowadays most companies like to employ sleeping advisors. I still remember a sleeping advisor telling people that working under CSE on tank cleaning must wear harness, end up more accidents when they are cleaning tanks with heating coils.

So many things need to be learn. Yeah my goal is always to have an overseas project assignment (kalau ada rezeki).

Which part of my post that I was boasting, I am saying I think there is no point to go back for a SGD4-5k job, since the living standard is the same as earning RM10-12k or even less here.
