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...

Dont bother. Everything is so slow and lots of office politics. Imagine reporting in and it took 3 days to get your access card. Another 2 days for them to enable building and floor access (exxon tower). I received my laptop the next week 😂. Benefits are comparable but bonus wise you better off staying at kerang or rather try for upstream.

Hello guys. First time posting here. Most of the time just reading all the comments and get market info on the latest projects etc.

Need career advice.... I have been working with this company that core business was (now have become multiple cores) valve trading and had a Principal from Italy. Just last year the relationship ended due to several factors. This year started other agency with Principal from another country (Spain).

In this company we have Fire Fighting Division (prev principal also have FF division thus the extension in Malaysia operation) and this new division was set up with my effort (one man show), so basically Im doing everything from sales to project delivery, also after sales service.

Been doing this for 5 years and I dont feel like growing anymore. I am still on one man mission despite of having closed sales more than 3 Mil worth of contracts (not single contract), and this was risen from totally 0 sales, no client, no suppliers, no manpower. everything was sourced by myself. Of course along the way we had hire people to manage projects but that's it.

So I am thinking of changing company and pursue more satisfying career path. Please advise which ath should I take now.

To give you more clarity on my role here, I am more like technical sales cums project executive cums maintenance cums after sales cums procurement cums proposal, in Fire Fighting, Safety, and Life Saving Equipment.

Thank you in advance.

Salary will be less

Another one colleague received offer from Qatar Gas..
They are looking high and low for new employees to join their projects.

Especially on the North field projects, onshore, pipelines offshore, offshore compression platforms, etc.

Mind sharing how many years of experience is typically required for this please?

There must be both factors to move.. If there is more on relaxing at current role, maybe better to stay for long term (in the future if your company has VSS / MSS, you can get a big package of few hundred K).
A few of my ex colleagues got big package and settled all their loans (house, car, etc).

Yeah, now im just waiting for pre-approval for the costs. Gonna interview for the job based in Dhahran. Heard that the salary is depending on nationality?

Heard Shell's downstream product making in PD finally closing shop.  This was expected since Singapore is closing as well, next will be their service station.

PD Shell refinery sold to Hengyuan in 2016 or so, so left the product plant in PD which will be closed down in 2-3Q 2025.  While Shell announced will leave Singapore refinery sometime in 2Q 2024.

wont benefit much to local during epc stage if china contractors are engaged

I heard all Exxon staff will receive nice VSS package so getting a job with Petronas will be a good bonus.

Well at least Petros-Petronas saga is closing, maybe it helps to clear out the uncertainties for the rest of Exxon and Petrofac later down 2025.
