1, How Did You Join Offshore / Oil And Gas Industry?
I enrolled myself in Graduate Employability Enhancement Scheme (SL1M- PETRONAS – GEES) on 2018 where I had 2 months of leadership training class followed by an On Job Training with SK Gas, Bintulu. All praise to God that towards the end of my training I got an interview with the company and managed to get in as an Operation Engineer for one of the offshore platforms.
2, What Do You Love About Offshore?
I love that I have so much to learn whenever I visit the platforms. Learning stuffs via books is not as interesting as compared to actually being there on site, looking at the equipment itself. Apart from that, the people there are very friendly and fun to be around, I am always amazed at how they keep themselves motivated whenever they are faced with difficulties. These are people that I enjoy being around, optimistic.
3, Challenges Faced Offshore And How Do You Stay Resilient Offshore?
Personally, simply getting to work can be dangerous if you do not stay vigilant. You might trip, fall, or get dangerous chemicals on you. However, for my case this has not occurred yet, hopefully never. Thus, as someone who works offshore, it is impossible to escape the risks that come with working on the open water and around hydrocarbons. My way of staying resilient is just to adhere closely to the safety procedures and to keep in mind that I am doing this to give back to my family and my country.

Since I’m still new in the industry my focus is more towards improving myself technically and in 5-10 years from now to take on a managerial responsibilities. I have been working with many amazing managers and developing into a great manager myself is something that I’m excited about.

Age is secret.
1, How did you join offshore / oil and gas industry?
I started as a SL1M GEES Apprentice back then in 2018. It was a very good platform for all the fresh graduate as a beginning of their career journey. After 6 months of training here at SKG, Alhamdulillah, I have been offered this position and got accepted after attended a test and IV. Having an opportunity to be in oil and gas industry is always an honored. It was my all the time dreams to join this industry.
2, What do you love about offshore?
What I love about my work is the scope itself. As someone who have non-technical background, and currently in a technical department, it was truly a challenge for me to be part of them. But surely its very interesting to learn lots of technical terms, their activities and etc. I might go to offshore one day for exposure and I cannot wait for that day to come.
3. The challenges faced offshore and how do you stay resilient offshore?
I have never been to offshore yet, but to talk about challenges I faced in the office is to be in a technical department. From the terms, what they discussed and the knowledge I have to know is very different. What I’ve learned during my degree life is surely all about economics and finance, but now I have to know about how many manpower needed for HEX inspection, how many days is the execution for CO valve replacement and other activities. Others are just typical challenges faced by every working people. To stay resilient is to always take the challenges as way of improvement, to increase our knowledge and become a better version of ourself.
4, Advice to ladies planning to work offshore/oil and gas
Oil and gas is indeed a very interesting industry. So, take the challenges and join us in this industry.
5, Future career plan for yourself
To move to another OPU so I can have various experience.
