Hi, whew I havent been back for a while. Hi TS (That's you the Thread Starter. geddit?). You're in luck today.

I'm former intern for Envitech Engineering some time back, I think one of my toughest but also bestest time ever. To sum it out my company provides the best training anyone can offer. During my time i did 13 projects worth RM 230k, though I missed out on an ever bigger project. Its different from all of the ordinary run of the mill internship youve ever heard of. First off the company really REALLY 100% utilise you like a full time project engineer. you are expected to handle all the projects that comes in. In short I design, execute, manage, test and commission all the projects. The value of the projects range from a 1k to hundreds of k.

You are expected to go to various jobsites (I went from Penang to Melaka to Kemaman) so you need own car, though you can occassionally drive the company car with permission. The jobsites are like cement plants, chemical, manufacturing, car plants, food, basically you name it I've visited it. You report direct to the boss, who is a competent person, very knowledgable, but strict but also fair. He's ok guy, though I kena kaw kaw lecture from him once. Learned a lesson there. In addition you have to do sales. I myself got almost RM30k worth of sales (with my boss help - thanks boss!), which i have to execute myself. As part of the internship I deal direct with customers, suppliers and contractors and i make many important decisions myself.

Yes its true they ban certain unis. That time they banned UTP, though I donno they ban any other uni. Not clear of the reasons. Allowance nothing to shout about but the experience more than make up for it. you can claim for all kinds of expenses, mileage, toll, even the occassional entertainment for client or contractor. Best of all, boss occassionally treats us for lunch and sometimes dinner.

This is their youtube ad:




Most importantly, be positive and you can survive the internship with great achievements. About 40% of the interns cannot finish becasue they drop out. Also the company gives reference letter after you finish. I used mine to apply my dream job. My interviewer didn't even want to see or keep my degree.

All the best TS.

My unimate did top glove. Great allowance but that's the only great thing about it. Some more have to jaga badan, keep fit, measure BMI. That time i was soooo busy doing big projects and this unimate just sit in office or lab doing paperworks, how to save costs laaa, titration laaa, pretty repetitive and meaningless work. I think he was so jealous of me cuz I have all the engineering experience while he sits in the office pushing paper.

100% not in my former internship company. Every day is sooo busy like I lost track of time.

Hi! Yup I did. Best times of my life. I never thought possible that I'd be doing huge projects. In fact it makes my uni fyp look like a kindergarten kid's colouring project. Here I was doing design works, testing of engineering systems, erection of chimneys and pollution control systems. I also did electrical and automation work. Had to work with many contractors. Last time I just applied through their email but it helps also if you call their office. They replied within a week or so and i got called up for interview. Passed my test and joined. First week is orientation where we learn basic stuff like metric/imperial conversions. Had to memorize a lot of facts. Yeah our internship got girls but not many. Mostly dudes. My partner absconded one week into his internship. Dunno why. Training is mostly self study. For example I had to install ph meters and sensors. So I had to study the installation manual and figure out stuff, then install and calibrate the system. All this I did myslef with some help from the contractor.

In at least 3 of my projects I had to stay outstation in Penang, Muar and Kemaman. The Muar job I stayed in melaka due some reason. The Kemaman job I stayed in Cukai. Yes there's a town called Cukai. Its in Trengganu. Total I did 13 jobs all in. Yes the internship 101% like a full engineer. I was busy every single day. Dealing with customers and contractors is pretty challenging. You gotta give them plenty of respect cuz its all business. But all this experience did me a lot of good in my current job.

No idea why they ban utp and ucsi. Maybe because many of their students committed misconduct or stealing or something, I think. I believe boss did complain to the unis but no action was taken. That time i was paid an allowance but i dont think its a good idea to post it here. besides you go for internship to learn and to proof yourself that you can fit into industry, not to earn money right? Tks and all the best!!!!!!!!!

Now in a huge construction company. Funny, Grad in chemical but in construction. But handling sewage and wwtp design and erection works. Running here and there. Oredi senior engineer handling >14 million in projects. Now under probation for assistant engineering manager. Gotta go now. Busy with life.
