Oil and gas hard to pinpoint salary..
Same as Malaysia salary.. based on current salary ...

If underpaid, might need to jump 2 times to normalize

For many industries
No pay slip = No interview.. this is reality in malaysia


Oil and gas - possible to manouver

Almost all on contract basis
I have personally seen 5 colleagues / ex going to Qatar Energy or Qatar Gas ...

and now another one to Aramco (Permanent if not mistaken). On family package.

Its good experience for our local engineers and indeed in the future if they return to Malaysia, the employers need to pay them high salaries of 35,000 and above monthly........

Paying below market rate.. Won't last long.

Just spoke to a newjoinee yesterday. Kind of short changed and he said he will try to be here up to 1 year only

Yes, nowadays rarely client offer main EPC to Engineering contractor or HUC / T&I. Mostly given to Fabricator..

Just only joined..

At young age, kerang pays the best.. as it goes older, not that big gap and sometimes they jump over to contractor as salary stagnated.

However, their EPF is very handsome as given 5 digit salary in 20s

If i am you, i would try join other vendor as sales manager.
Learn the product and then diversify..
Sorry situation of yours is complicated

Salary will be less

Bumi armada graduate program has closed.
On BP, I am not aware but their pay scale is very generous for seniors

Saipem hiring many engineering and support staff
...contract basis in KL until 2024.
Quite ok package

Yes in fact saipem has closed their office in 2021 in Kl sentral.
This is for the DDE at Worley (delayed already)

Was informed that Kasawari CCS is also delayed while the main Kasawari phase 1 sailaway is delayed to September...
Both under MMHE yard.

It's a time of great ups at the moment in terms of salary nego but as per previous experience, it can crash after one to two years.
Do you have contract or permanent employment?

Just checked. Indeed June and still a big delay from the original vs recent revision schedule

Actually OGA is the kind of event where you meet old acquaintances. If you are fresh in the industry, you can meet some exhibitors but mostly are from business development or marketing background whereas you might be on technical career path.
I would suggest to learn and gain experience and connection from your other structural engineers in the consultant....
If they leave, they can recommend you to other companies or consultants.

Yes and be wary if you are in Worley as they have massive oversupply of projects and unlikely to be repeated in the future 😔

Article on SE in upstream said they are rescoping ongoing projects...
Operators from international countries abhor such contractual changes and they are usually a subject of breach or inability of Contractor to perform scopes
End of the day, both sides lose out.
