is it HR incharge during our SI will be the same to handle n monitor our application until we get offer letter?

yes..sama bro

Hi guys,

Ive been reading thru this entire forum but havent been able to find info relevant to me.

I recently got offered to do an Industrial Training with Petroliam under the 'Strategic Communications' Department'. I am a Communications and Media Management student (final sem +required internship).

I've looked thru the forms that were emailed to me but could not find any indication of allowance etc.

Is there anyone who knows whether Petronas pays industrial trainees? And whether is it advisable to take up the offer as a Comms student in terms of future prospects?

thanks for reading thru this, will appreciate any advice at all.

- Sincerely grateful -

company discretion means many thing. one of it they would not even pay your bonus if you tender before the bonus cutoff (which is not declared anywhere in the executive handbook - unless they have updated, even if u serve full financial year, which many perm staff wait to jump ship after receive bonus by 24hr notice or 1mth notice.
still worth it, than doing it nicely with 3mth notice.
move on. you never test the outside environment, you never know what is your potential outside petronas.
petronas environment is so toxic these days. Yes boss culture getting prevalent and those who work smart and hard found themselves not a valuable asset anymore.

at least outside you do not need to do all the ridiculous initiatives and HSE audits as part of your KPI which do not bring value cos everyone are required to do so.
Your senior colleague did went out and come back? If if its similar and in Msia, go for it.

If Medical is one thing holding u, so be prepared to buy your own insurance , esp with family and kids.

Hi all,

A novice here, dont know whether it has been mentioned in this forum, can I ask what is the offshore allowance daily  for a field engineer in petronas. Say with 2-4 years experience ?

Many thanks

Yes, i have decided to leave this company. Looking at the positive side, i will learn new things in the new environment, stepping out from my comfort zone. The only issue is HR has yet to acknowledge my resignation, telling me that they want to talk to me first. Well, hope everything would go smoothly. Thanks for your insight bro.

Nope the senior is a contract staff and he is still with the comp. but he worked at a few companies before joining pet.

i want to work at petronas...can anyone help me on how to apply?

If you're office based, the offshore allowance is standard regardless of your experience. It was rm85/day last year and was revised to rm125/day recently.

Finally got offer letter -.-

This is why I'm so relieved:

1. Apply Discover Petronas: mid january 2013
2. Received SI appointment: end of march 2013
3. SI: 19 April 2013 (along with a hundred over other applicants I think)
4. SI result: end of May 2013 (just graduated from uni at same time)
5. Medical check letter: start of October 2013 (Submitted med result same day)
6. Offer letter: 8 Oct 2013 (report for PIPE 18 Nov 2013)

Timeline from application --> Offer letter = 9 months. Mad torture for me....had no idea it will take that long. Maybe coz I'm a fresh graduate.

I didnt read the previous posts in this thread so once i got result didnt bother applying anywhere....which left me 5 months on my part time job (took part time so if petronas came calling i can quit anytime). Only after reading posts from sifus here i decided to apply elsewhere, but thankfully Petronas got back to me .

As for Petronas HR, I dont think its fair to label them as extremely slow. Sure some are and some even rude, but I was very thankful to my HR manager who first handled my case. I'm pretty sure she had loads of other applicants to handle and whenever I called her to enquire she was always understanding and tried her best to communicate with my department. Should blame the atrocious filing system for Petronas.....even their own HR are complaining about it.

Btw any Pipeline Engineer around here? If so can enlighten me about the job scope in petronas?

Also anyone else attending PIPE next month??

thanks for the info, but I thought only offshore engineer are the only ones that entitled for offshore allowance? why does office based staff have offshore allowance?

thanks again

Those who're based offshore are operation supervisor/maintenance supervisor and offshore installation manager (OIM)..(with operation technicians and contractors) They would be at offshore for 2 weeks and got 2 weeks off. The rest are office based such as operation engineers, maintenance engineers and all disciplines engineers. These engineers would go to offshore as and when required.

How many days does a Petronas field engineer usually work at offshore?

Thanks again for the info.  In that case, how much does a typical installation engineer's daily offshore allowance? say 2-4 years experience. Just want to get some rough idea.

thanks

HR, you can ignore them. Just consider it is already accepted. Give them deadline to accept, by giving a official formal letter. Then they will act.
Just that, if you love the company, leave with honor and reputation intact. Doors will open again, when the time is right.
read the thread, it was mentioned many times on how people successfully applied.

Hi! I will be going for the same PIPE as yours. Which OPU did you get for your placement? 

hi,
