no tough workload, depends on where you are posted. some places, is challenging and the people there are sought after (by vendor,contractor,middle east), esp plant environment with JV. many left after 5 to 7 yrs as they are stuck in between senior post and middle mgmt. exit is the way up.

can't do much on having too many Bumis > most of them are the scholars that has been given the loan and most of them can't wait to join to browse internet/chatting during work.

Wow how judgemental can you get. The way u answer others too .... so much hatred bro

Im out

pump, compressors, steam turbine

periodic maintenance, condition based maintenance, repair maintenance, condition monitoring of equipment.

maintenance program, SAP, API standards.

that should give you some keywords.

Hi everyone,

I was called by the hr for a technical assesment. I am a fresh graduate. I have screened through the forum thread and all the fresh grduates attended the si interview instead of technical assesment. Anyone out there faces the same situation ?

Your description on Plant environment with JV sounds familiar......

what you're saying is true for most companies, but not petronas.

they seldom advertise vacancies with the job scopes. even during the interview, the hiring manager and HR would explain only the overview of the job scope as there too many possibilities on which position they will give you. Even the offer letter doesn't specifically mention what the job scope would be. Mechanical Engineer? in what area? Drilling? Static? Rotating?

you'll only know what your real work scope once you meet your superior on your first day of work.

I think its also depends on your field. If you are in technical field like engineering most likely you'll go for technical assessment. Maybe they need someone with strong basic.

Congratulations.

Don't worry your superior will guide you, just be a fast learner and it should be okay.

During PIPE you will have some exposure about the company activities & operation, rules, benefit and some other things. Classroom, grouping, presentation, talks, sports, charity and also exercises. Schedule is pack for two weeks. But once you started working you gonna crave for another two weeks out from office, so just enjoy it..hehhe

Make a lot of friends and ask questions. Also don't forget to laugh and enjoy yourself. It's might be one of your sweet memories later.

Heard that someone has to wait for two years if failed SI in order to be called to SI again. But not really sure also since your case is not selected for the position applied. You may still apply and at the same time gaining experience outside.

Means your starting date is 16th right? Directly go to PIPE. Most likely you will only get your first salary on the next month. So prepare with some saving.

Totally agree. Some section felt like heaven and some felt like hell. No choice but gonna tastes both.

Anyone here from STS PETRONAS department? I need help from you.

Hey there!

Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it 😃

Hello guys, I've been reading this thread from page 1 to 99 these two days, i find this place highly informative for those who wish to or about to join Petronas.
However i still have few questions below and i hope the sifus here can enlighten me. I got my resume submitted (through cable XD) and got call from HR today invite me for a chit-chat session, i am very excited and nervous at the same time

1. Just a quick one, the position according to the email title is marketing, Korea, China and Taiwan Dept. Is anyone here from marketing division? How does the job basically like? I guess we are not expected to do sales right? I don't know how to prepare for the session since i know nothing about the job..
2. Since Petronas is basically owned by government, does my academic background need to be recognized by them? My degree is issued by an Uni in UK but i completed the studies in Segi College instead of any Public Uni like most of you did, and i am not sure does government recognize my degree program. Also, erm...does our SPM results will be assessed while short-listing? My results aren't that good but my Diploma and Degree are okay (cgpa 3.59, second upper). I am not fresh graduate though, had two years of banking experience in int'l trade operation which is nothing to do with marketing, not sure how much of chances i stand to get the offer XD

Thanks in advance. I am really anxious now as i couldn't imagine that i would ever land an interview (although it's informal one) with Petronas

Hi lexxy ,

Thanks for the info . I got two missed call from this num 0323314913 which I guess it is from Petronas Hr since the num start with 03233xxxxx . I tried to reach them back but no answer . What should I do now ?

Do you get any calls from Hr until now ? we are in the same boat since i didnt pick up their calls due to my silent phone .

Don't know what you mean by the working progress is sluggish but trust me Petronas is in no way like your typical Bumiputera company. Sure we have lots of Bumis there but it is by no means run like a government agency.

Sorry that I have to disagree with the last bit too. Whoever thinks that working with Petronas is easy is deluded. Yes, the staff do get pretty handsome bonuses and pay rise but the company really does work one's backs*de off particularly if you're working in Upstream. I have been on a constant 7am-8pm work schedule for the past month or so and have to bring work home sometimes. It really depends on which OPU and department one works at as well as the season
