I am currently working in Oil & Gas, specific in machine maintenance and service (generator n etc)
I also worked in Manufacturing line for almost 1 and half year as tooling engineer.

I've got to choose one from these 4 departments.
1. Manufacturing engineer
2. Service Sales engineer
3. Mechanical Design.
4. Project Engineer

Which dept would u recommend esp in technical skills, training and department growth? (I am mechanical engineer background)

Tq.

Oil & gas is good. Well paid. but need to be closer to my husband n family in Subang. Now i'm in kerteh. No internal transfer option.
Currently, I want to apply company that can provide me training to be more technical competent and at the same time closer to my family.
Hv background in Mechanical, minor in Turbomachinery; that explains my interest in ABB.

I believe you are working with one of the end users.

ABB is consider as a contractor in oil and gas. You may have to accept pay cut and the work load might be more depending on the department you are in. As I know, ABB have more products on the system side. I am not sure whether mechanical background have much to do with them. But if you are good in electrical and also software yes it might applies. Nevertheless, you may still try, no harm. =)

Since your family in Subang, you may try applying Cameron, they are more into instrument which applies more mechanical background. Or try searching in Shah Alam, more options there I guess. =)

erm... what i mean is to get interview first.. then you only choose,

These companies are not so easy to get, it will not just call you for interview, just because you send in your resume.

Even if after interview it's not easy to land a job in those companies.

Therefore, get first then think later. apply all.

Thanks. I did apply for other o&g comp. but ABB is one of the comp, i applied but not related to o&g.
Actually, I am now working in SapuraKencana. No matter how much i love working in this comp. Like i said before, internal transfer is not an option. sweat.gif


Back to the topic,
I applied to ABB because of these 4 options i mentioned earlier. These post is for mech eng background. Need advice on the comp culture and work culture.

I have been working for ABB Malaysia for the past three months, the atmosphere is professional compared to other businesses operating in Malaysia.

The office is full of people from ABB India, Australia, Europe etc so if you want a job with options for relocation this may be a good for you.

From my experience working there this job requires you to have your own initiate and drive to succeed or you will remain on left on the bottom - like with most jobs

PS. also take on civil/ chemical engineers not only electrical engineers. so don't be discouraged because ABB's core business relates to electrical engineering
