oh i see your point. i did my internship in PETRONAS before, mostly contract staffs are cleaner. so i guess when u get an offer for exec it's gonna be a permanent position?

not true either. there are executives hired on contract basis because petronas only needs them to handle some projects that last a certain time frame.. once the project is completed, get ready to say bye-bye or be converted to permanent staff

owhh. last time even the guards in PETRONAS Research, the place where i did my internship are permanent. so the year where PETRONAS announces at least 5 months bonus (if i'm not mistaken), they got so excited because that applies to them as well even though they are just guards. lol

So you were stuck in Bangi that time?

yeap, appx 7 months U.U

heard from my fren say got product design job in petronas too? i m not sure about it, just helping friend ask.

Hahaha okla, at least the 7 months there made you stronger

bole tau sape ni? kut2 la kenal time main voley...

Hi all,

I have a question, I am a fresh grad in Mechanical Eng and was recently informed via email that I passed the SI interview held in washington DC back in mid March and they just needed a couple of my final transcripts "to assist us to process the application" as they quoted. I'm not familiar at all with the process and I doubt ill get a decent and fast response by emailing the HR manager. Does that mean I have to go for more interviews/processes or do I just patiently wait? Need some advice. Thanks!

It depends on your project and assignment, working in GTS is like a service providers to other OPUs, so you do need to travel to other OPUs from time to time to solve their problem and give them technical advise.

Hi,

i got call from HR Petronas last week asking me to come to SI on the very next day. But I ask to postpone and rearrange the date for SI on the first or second week of July due to my current job commitment. He said okay and will inform me once confirm. But since, the HR never call back to confirm on this.

Did I just blew my chance? As I heard that HR will not entertain candidates whose asking for rearrange date or something like that.

thanks. got a friend who has a friend who works in GTS. says that hotels are like his second home. almost every week needs to go outstation. is this a normal in GTS?

I experienced the similar situation last year. You can contact the hr via email. PM me for more details.

It really depends on the project that you are involved it so couldn't really confirm your question until you start your job.
Nevertheless, just a hint for you, if you travel a lot, then you will earn a lot also. Hehe.

Good morning all, i want ask to who have done PIPE, if join PIPE on 16hb, do salary will be paid at the end of that month?

Seriously? Because i tried countless times to call the hr, he never pickup the calls.

how about contract staffs (consultant) seconded to Petronas? do they get to be absorbed as permanent once the contract ends?

Yes, but on pro-rated basis, however you will only receive it in the following month (1.5months salary).

May I know, what is the scope of work for position Executive(Offshore facilities engineering) ? I have been offered this position and will need to report duty on 17th jun 2013. Do I need to go to the offshore often?
