Not that easy to get into PETRONAS. Also, many are lured into working for petronas under the protege program, salary is ard 2.5k only for 1 year.
Not sure if most are absorbed. Some got into departments that don't want to absorb trainees after 1 year.

Just sharing from someone dark semandin from other metaverse

Graduates with sky high CGPAs need not go through P to work in Petronas.

Other Operators are also hiring for these graduates. Sapura will find it difficult to entice these excellent graduates with its present financial challenges and lack of opportunities for career growth.

there's a huge pool of graduates. Just the cream will be absorbed by the operators and the rest fighting for whatever is available.
MMHE too can try to get them as now is a good time to get cheap and new / young labour as there are projects to learn.. .

It is a common practice that I am seeing among graduates in Contractor and Consultant companies.

They join around 3,000-3,500 monthly salary.

After 3-4 years, the salary stagnates around 4,000-4,500 (Mostly around 4,000) and thus many will jump for around 5,500-6,000.

These groups are neither graduate engineers nor intermediate engineers.

It is happening not only among Sapura, etc but those consultants including the busy ones (Worley, Aker, MMC). Now, all sides are desperate to retain their employees due to having to spend time to retrain new engineers...

When you are told the middle level mgmt posts are “reserved” for I expats, you know there’s no prospect for you in the company.

I wonder how the companies which have expats as EM, GM or even PM, could justify to the HR Ministry the expat employment in the companies when there are many qualified local candidates available

Cash is King, again?

Lack of enforcement issues. Thats why.

Yup I actually agree with this statement..I use to work in one O&G service provider and almost all the VP level are all expats mainly from India and Europe. Barely can see any malaysian..and this expats they are not cheap..easily 60-70k per month salary plus other benefits..

If this is not looked into few more years middle management Will also be dominated by expats and malaysian forever stuck at fresh grad or exec level...seems like our HR minister also like puppet only can't do anything.

True.

HR Ministers (since BN days) were not merely puppets.

Got some offered from one of the contractors in marine department since im handling DP. Anyone knows how long the project will be? Currently im working with DOF Subsea .

Which project you been offered? not clear as to your message.

He refer to the current Kasawari phase 2 CCUS job.

Kasawari PH2 CCUS - Project up to around December 2025, roughly 3 years.

I didn't know Keppel has a Penang yard?

They leased from Penang port temporarily for the idle space, SG yard is really full now, so the topside modules will be fabricated at Penang

Haha...7 years too late for me, would have been nice to go back home.

Keppel banyak huat with Petrobras proyek owh.

But ever since mobilizing to China, never looked back. Plenty of projects and yards here, but many are not publicised due to political sensitivity.

China yard especially ZPMC busy building LNG tankers.

Petronas is preparing to launch another attempt to secure a sizeable floating production, storage and offloading vessel required for its Limbayong deep-water oilfield development offshore Sabah, East Malaysia.

The state giant recently floated market enquiries for the FPSO, kicking off its fourth effort to secure the vessel for the deep-water development project, at least two people familiar with the process told Upstream.

“Market enquiries have been issued ahead of launching a firm tender process later this year,” one person noted. A second confirmed the latest step and said that responses to fresh enquiries are due within days.

In August, the Malaysian national energy company confirmed it had aborted its third attempt at securing a leased FPSO vessel for the Limbayong development.

Industry sources said that despite having carried out three previous tenders for Limbayong, Petronas is keen to develop the offshore asset through project optimisation and by including new fields like the Bestari satellite discovery.

“We believe Bestari will be tapped along with [Limbayong], which could turn the project commercially viable this time around,” the person noted.

Other producing fields in the deep-water Sabah play could also potentially become an alternative host facility for Limbayong via subsea tie-backs, according to informed sources, Upstream previously reported.

These fields might include Shell’s Gumusut-Kakap, which is a mere 20 kilometres from Limbayong, and the Kikeh field operated by Thailand’s PTTEP, which lies within 25 kilometres.
