and has the biggest reserve in the world.

Because PETRONAS offer the best and most extensive training to the new staffs or fresh grads. And it is a good place to gain experience. Yes, the rating system is debatable but hell, the knowledge and experience that you gained are invaluable and they will definitely increase your market value after 5years, 10years or so. Sometimes yes we do think about the monetary issue, but there are other things that cannot be bought by money.

Bro, there are a lot of positions under the production executive, you have to be specific then only we can tell you. But you will be under SKG 16, so tier 2. Offshore frequency is based on your position.

Maintenance dept is the most challenging dept especially if you are handling brown field. You are dealing with equipment breakdown on frequent basis, that is how you get your knowledge/experience which are totally priceless and very valuable, you are also handling different type of service providers which will enhance your people managing skill as every service provider has different working attitude, so you have to be very persuasive and flexible to deal with them. You also have knowledge on the operation side, contract management, cost control/management and etc.
Maintenance is a all rounder job. If you have maintenance background, you can always move to facilities design position later since you know all the constraints, operation, problems for the equipment. However, if you are from facilities design position but want to move into maintenance dept, you will find it very hard due to lack of hands on experience.
The only bad side is, you will have to be standby 24/7 and be very proactive. It can literally drain your energy as time goes by.

Miri is a good place for family, no major traffic jam, life is easy going, people are open minded.
Maybe u have to take it positively.

Still 4k.
Salary increment is based on your performance yearly.

Yes confirmed.

The answer can be very subjective and I don't think anyone here can give you an exact answer. Just stay calm and patient while waiting for it.

According to the briefing by HR, you must be confirmed before Jan 2013 or somewhere around that, couldnt remember the exact month.

I don't know the answer for the first question but it seems like, it is highly unlikely to happen.
For second question, the adjustment varies from a person to another person as it is based on years of service, past performance, grades and etc.

It can be a range of positions under this so-called "production executive" such as operation engineer, production planner, production surveillance, process technologist, tanker planer and etc so I guess you will only know your exact position after you join.
Be patient!

Grass at the other side is greener, moon at the other side is rounder.
Human nature, we never learn to be satisfied of what we have.

Development Division is also called DD, it is under PCSB, it looks into redevelopment/rejuv on the brown field as well as green field project.

Most likely contract staff or direct hire, and most likely also he is a non-exec.

If you enter after June 2010, you don't receive it anymore.

And to add to that, direct hire can be used to fill in exec or non exec position. So if non exec position, so of course the pay would not be on the high side.

Base on your performance of course. 3L, 3S, 3H, 2 and I. Everyone has different performance, years of service and other allowance so I guess nobody can answer your question precisely. The increment also changes every year.

Yes, more to design and HUC (Hook Up Commissioning). Project based. Traveling frequency based on job requirement.

Bro, the post you mentioned is too broad, you can have a few positions under production planning so we might not be able to help you unless you specify your position.
But PMO is an operation, it is under PCSB.

It depends what you really want in life... the modus operandi of downstream and upstream is very different. In downstream, you have limited budget and most of the time the technicians can tackle the work so you exposure to technical is even more. For upsteam, 95% of the work are done by contractor so basically it is more on planning and do arrangement but of course you still can learn technical stuffs provided that you have to go offshore very often. In terms of marketing value, upstream of coz is more promising.

Petrofac is also one of the operator under PMU, just like PCSB and Shell.
