What I heard is they are anticipated project to come in mid April.
On LinkedIn, I keep seeing posting for Senior/Principal/Chief discipline engineers.

For Worley, heard they work like crazy, one engineer do more than one project and no OT paid.

You are speaking about McDermott? Yes true they are hiring but im not sure for which proj.
Ps their staff also resigned but not as many as their salary is quite competitive..
One engineer resigned to Orsted last month...

i wish they scrap the "discount on top of discounts" for us contractors. itu pon dah syukur let alone getting bonus.

Based on my observation for the last 6 months during my active job hunting (until now), fresh grad market considered the toughest in the Oil & Gas industry at the current moment, although current oil price is favourable.

The Oil & Gas market in Malaysia is more favourable to experienced candidates with at least 8 yrs experience in Oil & gas industry.

My only advise for fresh grad is that may be you should stop aiming for Oil & Gas industry, may be aiming for IT is better. And IT job pay is not bad tho.

My 2 cents.

Or another better way to enter oil & gas industry is to join fresh positions in Singapore.

The vacancies are plenty in Singapore compared to Malaysia. The demand is higher.

For employment, O&G still pays a better than average pay in Msia hence everyone flock the industry. It is hard to get in for a start for fresh grad.

If one has a choice, oversea job will beat any others anytime and all the time. Unless you are running SME business, Msia would be good.

This has always been the case.
Fresh grads are plenty..
After few years, the experienced ones are under demand as they understand the mechanism...

IT pays well too... So that is another option...

Nahh, the worst recently was during MCO. Even Petronas wasn't taking anyone except interns.
Friends that were in their scholarship were put on hold/waiting list.
Price was low due to Ruski/Arab price war.

SG didn't have much openings either at the time.

ITs soon will be replaced with AI by the looks of it. Blue collar jobs will always be in demand though.

Have you seen case of candidates that have resigned, offer letter pulled back in March or april 2020 and previous company did not want to accept uturn?
Yes it happened in Malaysia O&G

Pssst.
Went back from studying abroad because of an offer at home. Was put on hold/KIV on March.
Wasted my time, else would've extended my Visa to stay there.

Not suffering as much anymore, but took close to 3 years though .

Lol, during MCO any company also freeze their hiring as well. Globally basically. Haha.

Hoping it will remain as once a decade pandemic..

For those in petronas, what's the difference between Engineer position and Executive (Engineer) position? Just my curiosity

Anyone knows who the buyer of Armada Claire FPSO is? Reportedly agreement has been reached.

Should be the same thing for both, more on how the 'box'/'position' you applied to is named in the system.

i.e. all their engineers are executive level.

In terms of career growth, engineers in Petronas are given the option to be in the technical side (highest position will be Custodian) or in the mgmt side (CEO the highest position).

And engineers are at executive level.
