Yeah , actually seeing the fruits of my 'endeavors' outside of engineering currently. But engineering has always been my passion , hard to let that dream die.

Having that said , with the power distance being insane here in Malaysia , its probably the best for me to ask around for opportunities , not looking strictly into technical positions , but I'm also intrigued with the business aspect of the industry,


Sorry , I think I misrepresented what I think is a 'premium' job . From my perspective and expectations , anything above 3k is considered 'premium' , I know full well how crappy fresh grads are paid , especially those getting into graduate hiring schemes which are a commonplace these days. In essence I wanna try to avoid any of these 'schemes' as much as possible .


Heard the same horror stories from peers as well . I'd try my best to avoid that.


First off , I'd really like to thank you for spending time for such an extensive write up . I REALLY do appreciate that.

Sorry if I came off as choosy , I didn't spend too much time thinking on what I was writing . When I say premium position and pay , I don't mean sky high 99th percentile pay as a fresh grad , misworded my sentence , I'm just looking for something that pays 'fairly' probably around 3k aside from all the usual graduate hiring schemes that pay way below that.

referring to 1 , its just wishful thinking to go offshore I just think its pretty cool , but I need to be pragmatic . I don't really care that much in what dept that I would have the chance to be absorbed into . But was really into Management , delivery and corporate planning for the OnG industry. I think I do have a forte in that when it comes to my previous stated experiences , probably would settle for that honestly.

about MMHE , in no way am I slandering or making factual statements, but this is strictly from my own personal observations and hearsay (probably biased since I did come from a subcon in west yard) , I've heard nothing more but 'bad things from them . Even Ex MMHE staff who are currently working for other companies have talked negatively about their experience there , so I'm really on the fence on ever going there again. But probably as you said , the experience that could be gained is probably to die for. Though , met the director , pretty chill and down to earth guy.

Probably should keep my expectations low and keep my head down . Thanks for the advice! I'll update if I get an opportunity somewhere.


Will probably look into MMHE again , its insane how they won back to back projects , so many things lined up for them . During my tenure in their yard it was nuts , things were flying to be finished , especially when rosemari was lined up even before the other two cpps were done with their loadout , good for them.


Understood




Thank you everyone for chipping in their advices , really means a lot to me , Ill probably come round soon.

Sad not to be able to witness that behemoth sail

Hi! Been a while since ive posted here. Ive a question i would like to ask the otais here , what are your opinions on BH ?

Lets just say ive gotten an opportunity to be selected as a field engineer. All i know is that FEs get sent to buttfuck nowhere , but im unsure how BH malaysia would task their FEs.

Basically , is their early career programme any good ? Is there good career prospects ? What should i prepare ? Any experience with the final selection events ? May seem like a lot of questions but i want to be well prepared and set my expectations , basically doing a 'career' jump here so quite in a dillemma .

Also it seems like the entire programme is 36 months.

thank you

Thanks for the long reply , i really appreciate it. Im already at the final stages (Final Selection) , after some snooping around it seems like during the event at the end of the day its either your in or out , they'll hand out offer letters on the same day. It seems like most of the people say that the programme is really extensive. Most say I'd have to sacrifice a year of my life to learn there. We'll see how it goes then .

Haha , duly noted. I've survived worse , i don't think it'll be that bad . Besides my current line of 'work' has zero work life balance anyways , properly conditioned lol.

Oh so you were a part of their program as well ? How was the final selection during your time? What are they looking for specifically actually.

Yeah , i've heard that they were major differences between the depts/div unfortunately there's no knowing what you'll get till the day comes , so luck based RNG . Not surprised if related to fluids tbh...

Also is it true that its very rigid as in no job bonus/performance bonus + tiny increments during the 3 year program?


IIRC just closed for the 2024 session for their early career program.

Maybe can try other openings from BH , still hiring aside from their ASPIRE and LEAD programs.

A friend of mine recently got a call from BH kemaman for their operation specialist role , so there's that.

Already done and dusted ? from what ive heard [Unconfirmed?]

Lanyard company already freezing all hiring this past 2-3 weeks . Doesnt seem good . More so more interested in knowing whats going to happen to the people in SKA.

More so with the upcoming handover in the malay basin which is going to flood people with the transition , dont think its going to be a good time for people to join or atleast very hard to get into green comp.

They seem to be ramping up development in brunei , more people are getting transferred there.

20-25% rev cut

10% opex reduction

25B for gas 18 months , possibly 50B+- if oil business is taken over .

The whole Umbrella . Not only upstream iirc .

HUC works on hold , for 2nd MOPU right?

but right now seems to be refocusing on DP3 , awaking from sleep state.

SBA seems to have quite a few projects accelerating due to high gas demands.

Is it true ? Wild rumours already spurring . Can anyone confirm?

Green expecting to layoff 15k people next year , dunno true or not . But not shocking as a similar number happened back then.

Even fabricator around 1k ish.

Even friends in JDs are saying that the music is stopping and they're acting like the ship is sinking too.

What the hell is going on .

plausible , lots of departments are made out of entirely contract staffs . The ratio to contract and permanent has been skewed in recent years.

CDHs are probably on the chopping block . Just walk around the foodcourt , you'll immediately notice most people dont have their faces on their tags , confirm contract.

Looks like conclusion is going to come out soon

Things are going to get interesting end of this year , seems like they're sticking to their guns.

20-25B Impact / Year

40B 5 Year Capex Plan should be an interesting stimulus to the local O&G economy , wonder how people are going to go around the SWK walled garden though. Pipu with swk license/SWEC code is going to be really hot soon.

Peninsular seems to be on full blast

S**at CPP and FPSO (WTF???)

Be*** Shallow

Princess Dul**** + P3

Ti**g

GPSC (Rumoured to extend)

CPOC P7 tie in

Brownfield team in HQ actively exploring new tech

Drilling comps moving to east coast from S&S

SB Redevelopment to cover gas deficit , mission critical ive heard since half of SB will loose electricity over this if not.

Overall really good opportunities present in Peninsular ! Especially with GPSC continuing because no choice lohh , need to do O&M already look like clusters of rumah setinggan over there.

Or maybe this is just a major sign red yellow black state taking over and theyre frantically covering the gaps.

At first thought wahhh Petros raising awareness on ABC , meaning they really wanna take take MRO/MMO seriously , so much good business opps .

rupanya different kind of ABC , lulz
