there are some stringent pre-requisite requirements for CSWIP.
If i remembered correctly, at least an Engineering degree or subject to approval based on your background qualifications.

No need eng degree gua, at least know something about welding is good enough, having dip/ degree is a bonus. For 3.0 no experience needed, 3.1 at least 3 years welding exp, senior level 3.2 need practical experience as a welder for 10 years if not mistaken.
Its a pricey course with no guarantee of getting a job after finishing the course which made me think twice of taking it.

I wonder from the 25 cents increase in the fuel prices, how much is from the higher average crude oil price in February and how much is from the lower ringgit against dollar?

So true. Betul tu bro. But yeah, that's the reality now. Fresh grads banyak, competition pun banyak, supply is more than the industry needs. Just have to double up the effort finding and can't be very choosy lah.

Even tak sanggup, tapi mungkin there's another option for me kan, better than menganggur. Thanks for the suggestion tho. biggrin.gif

Ko keje ngan subcon makan gaji 2k. Blaja buat workpack blaja buat workscoping blaha buat jha etc etc amek ptw, jadi ptw applicant / workleader, jd supervisor, jadi coordinator.
If not work with construction conpany / subcon doing MRT project, highrise, housing, dams, roads etc Since you're civil background.

Haha bukan sebab good money je bro for me. Well, I found interest to go for drilling, sebab tu try to find my way to go to drilling. Plus, quite envy with those DE that I've met, shared their experience. Before masuk belajar dulu tak pernah orang cerita pun and taktau pun pasal ni, dah terlajak amek Civil, and then found apa yang minat, tu yang try to find way nak kerja dengan apa yang aku minat bro smile.gif

I was from fabricator also, but I never kena jerit from clients since I was junior enough to be "shielded" by my senior engineers who had to take the shi*t from the client.

But I occasionally had shouting matches with my senior engineers (aku bangsa tak takut boss) and lead draftsman, and the site engineers.....hahahahahaha.... biggrin.gif

But again it was fun to see the project manager thumping the table with anger when he got enough with the client's RE and engineers' unsolicitated remarks.

I agree. Sarawak Cable Bhd clinched a fat contract with SEB few month back. And many more to come.

Alstom has their office at Kuching. Alstom and SEB relationship kinda gooding. I think soon Alstom will be getting a fat contract from SEB for commissioning works related to power industry.

you're in upper level kot. I'm project engineer in vendor. obviously low tier vendor and sub sub sub con. so i learn a lot on troubleshooting and actual technical work. commissioning and everything. but nothing about cost and all management stuff.

but anyway, project engineer is still a good place to learn.
*
Being main con project engineer may involve : site visit, prepare site visit report, prepare commercial proposal, prepare technical proposal (workpack, schedule, method statement etc), attend kick off meeting, sorting for thrid party vendor or subcon, deal with subcon quotation minta diskaun, kenapa mahal sangat? etc etc. Then on execution, kena marah client why so slow etc etc. prepare MOM. Project finish do closed out report submit claim, claim never smooth ones (this one will kena marah by boss kaw kaw one), have to resubmit many times baru lepas (biasa lah kot). & the cycle continues....Im in civil / structure so..someday might cabut to real construction lah. Too much paperworks in o&g related activities. Beli reinforcement bar pun mau mill cert. LeL. Supplier pun mau registered (if with petronas). Mau beli simen dari kedai ah chong also kenot.

the investment (or CAPEX) in offshore platforms is HUGE that easily exceeds 1 billion USD for a typical wellhead (drilling) platform (for central processing platform, it could cost triple or qudruple of that).

so there is no compromise in the quality of materials used to build the platforms.

im not sure about o&g downstream, but i guess is that the materials standards used for downstream infrastructure will be as stringent as the one used for offshore platforms.

i hope this clarifies your mind.

Thank you for the clarification. But for civil / structure (other than steelworks fabrication which i know have stringent procedure to follow), sometime the inspection test plan or requirements cant be 100% following other discipline i.e. process, M&E. I've encounter an engineer told me..how to commission a structure in this case a control panel house, even for fencing also asking for commissioning.

PETALING JAYA: Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd has asked its staff to take a 20% pay cut in view of the challenging market conditions caused by low global oil prices, a source told SunBiz.

According to a memo obtained by SunBiz, Petronas Carigali indicated that a 20% reduction in current salaries would be required effective May 1, 2015.

The company said in the memo that it intends to continue investing to sustain production levels despite the low oil price environment affecting its expenditure and projects feasibility. However, it would be challenging to do so at the current cost structure and as part of its cost optimisation efforts, the company has decided to revise salary rates.

Petronas Carigali is the exploration and production (E&P) subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas). It explores, develops and produces oil and gas in Malaysia via production sharing contracts (PSCs). It is understood that 80% to 90% of the company's cost base is via its partner contractors.

However, Petronas has denied having any salary revision or retrenchment plans for employees of Petronas Carigali.

"In reference to reports that Petronas is to carry out salary cuts and retrenchments to the employees of Petronas Carigali, Petronas would like to clarify that the reports are not true," said Petronas in an email response to queries by SunBiz.

"As far as cost optimisation is concerned, Petronas will make capital expenditure deferments by up to 30% for the next three years as well as reductions in operational expenditure in response to the recent steep decline in oil prices," it said.

It added that the deferments would reflect the change of environment in the global oil and gas industry to ensure its resilience through the low oil price period.

Last month, Petronas warned of a "bad" outlook for 2015, after reporting its first quarterly loss in the fourth quarter of 2014, citing lower global oil prices affecting profitability.

Its dividend contribution to government coffers for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2014 was lower at RM26 billion, compared with RM27 billion a year ago.

For the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2014, Petronas incurred a net loss of RM7.28 billion mainly due to assets impairment losses as a result of the steep decline in oil prices.

During the media briefing, then president and group CEO Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas said the group was still reviewing its plan for the coming two years, with an expectation of oil prices to be in the range of US$50 to US$60 per barrel for at least two years. Its oil price assumption for 2015 is US$55 per barrel.

Shamsul said key oil and gas projects had been deferred until oil prices recover while risk service contracts would only be viable when oil prices stay above US$80 per barrel.

Operating expenditure would be cut by as much as 30%, but assured employees that no retrenchment would be made as manpower could be remobilised to other areas.

Petronas also indicated 10% and 15% capital expenditure cuts for 2015 and 2016 respectively, which works out to RM20 million to RM30 million over the next few years.

Agree... but must remember to learn properly. many of the planning engineers I met are mere "clerk". can't really plan well because don't take ownership of the project life cycle.
for eg, when comes to t&i schedule and steps... not familiar.. never take into consideration weather/monsoon....

other eg including instrument loop check 10 loops in 7 days... just plan without knowing the detail of the job...
hope you learn and be a good planning engineer ok...

The plan is just as a guideline. Its not always accurate. But i agree before becoming planning engr, one must have field experience.
