Hey guys.. I have an offer waiting for me to sign and start work asap yet at the same time, lets say I am recommended after having my SI.. then should I wait and reject that offer?

Petrophysicist usually belongs to the Petroleum Engineering Division but they can also be in the exploration division as well.

I joined as a fresh grad. Yes, fresh grads comes in as an E1 executive. I know that PETRONAS is going to change their salary grading soon but entrance grade will still be E1.

Hi,

Just got an email from Petronas HRM, they're holding off my offer letter for now  due to the fact that I've had failed the lipid serum test for cholesterol. I'll need to repeat the blood test next month at my own cost  . Anyone have had experience the same? But on positive side they'll secure the position for me until I deem fit for employment  . TQ in advance for your valuable response

@Kitteh,

There is no such thing as your experience being considered diluted due to the mass hiring. Your work experience is individual. As long as you have the righ attitude, not shy in asking your seniors relevant questions, willing to take challenging assignments and delivering your assignments on time and with quality work, then all other MNCs will be eager to hire you.

My company has around 80 Malaysian families and 50 of them are ex-Petronas, 10 ex-Shella and another 10 ex-Exxon. As you can see, Petronas staff are highly regarded in the industry. When I was offered the position with my current company, my salary package was 5 times higher than my Petronas salary. Now it will be about 2 times higher as Petronas has gone into an aggressive staff retention mode for those in critical skills group.

My company usually hires people with 10 years experience or more but have lowered it down to 6 years for Malaysian as we have shown them that we are extremely capable in doing the jobs.

Get as much experience as you can while in Petronas. I will forever be grateful to Petronas for giving me the opportunity to gain experience in the industry and I have to say that the staff development program that they have in Petronas is world class.

Good Luck.

@pandikar, SKG16 is which skill group? Facilities and Instrumentation is it?

Yes, I know several engineers on the process side of things who is working in Aramco. They were previosuly from MLNG and some from Penapisan Melaka/Kerteh so SKG16 (Process Tech) is also in demand from my company. I also know that more and more on the engineering side is coming over

Help me on this.

I'm fresh graduate, convo last month. finished my SI early of this month and CBI last week. Got call from PCSB personnel mentioned that i passed both interview. She said that they are currently arranging available position 'anytime soon'.

My questions are:

1. How long actually this 'anytime soon'?
2. It is compulsory for all new hired petronas worker to go for training?
3. Where expected working location for me? (junior executive, degree in chemical eng, Petronas Carigali)

Still looking for job now, want to work but my friend suggested just wait for petronas, because it is hard to berhenti kerja when u get a job already.

Please help me... 

You are wrong. The tech allowance will be absorbed into you basic salary. So after 1 year (assuming there is no increment), RM4800 (basic salary including the incorporated tech allowance) + RM 480 (10% EM allowance) = RM5280.

No need to listen to some say, hear say or whatever say. It is after one year in service. Cheers.

I am also still figuring this out. From what i know, there is increment about 1-2k from e1 to e2 and more for e2 to e3. E4 and above will get special allowance like car about 1.5k and other allowances. Plus u r entitled first class business travel for E4 and above. 

That are the perks when u r promoted.  It takes time and often time longer than expected. it is expected to 3-5 years to be e2 and so on. But i meet people are staying in e1 more than 7 years. It is also based on your ACD,  where u have to meet certain technical competency critirea in order to be promoted. If u can close all the gap faster in ACD,  u get promoted faster.

For me, i see that it is challenging for me to meet all the requirement. I have to find my own time to learn. So it is rezeki.... if u work where all your jobscopes are in ACD is very good. U get promoted faster.
