Saturday Star 2009-09-12 – Job Opportunities

  • First off, Synergy is looking for 5 lead safety engineers and 3 lead process engineers. Visit the Synergy website for contact details. And safety specialists. Ah, heck. If you have more than 5 years experience in O&G, apply. If you have less than 5, send a donation to the offshore account, and still get abuse.
  • I see AP Recruitment has a full page spread. Must be the start of booming times in Qatar. The are usually associated with Qatar Petroleum and Qatar Gas. Wonder why the don’t mention their client here? Anyhow, jobs are available for Maint Eng (Electrical), Planning Engineering Specialist (Shutdown). The rest are technician posts. Apply here.
  • Shapadu is recruiting for Mech & Piping, Elect & Instr, Planning, Structural & Construction, Comm Eng. Email here or here. I know these guys as an offshore construction group, though I tend to pay attention to who actually works for a company rather than the company name. That’s the nature of construction contracts, if the PSC likes you personally, then you swap coveralls and work for the PSC’s flavour of the month.
  • And Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Company (KPOC to friends) has a two-page spread. I presume they are now moving into detailed design / fabrication? Anyhow, the posts that they hope to fill are: Offshore Installation Manager (OIM, PIC, Platform Supv), Snr Proj Eng, Snr Proj Eng (Mat & Eqpt), Electrical Reliability Eng (is TNB offshore?), C&I Reliability Eng, Snr Contract Specialist (this is where you make your money by, ahem, creative means), Metering System Reliability Eng (not many of them around), Piping Eng, Mech Reliability Eng, LQ project eng (please don’t make it dorm style), Proj Eng, Planning Eng, Cost Eng). Please apply here, or snail mail to: Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Comp Sdn Bhd, Level 52, Tower 2, PETRONAS Twin Towers, KLCC, 50088 KL, Malaysia.

No makan-makan recommendations this week. I did have an iftar at the Bluewave Hotel, Shah Alam though.

    Jika saya dari project management background dan site construction background, jawatan apa yang sesuai? saya juga ada exp. consultant & maintenance background…saya lebih kpd mechanical background

    • Wata Says:

      Faizal: saya lebih bertumpu kepada bidang kejurteraan kimia/process.

    • midnightluv Says:

      terlalu banyak orang yang ada skill kamu.

      pertama, kalau oil and gas harus bahasa inggeris, maka itu sudah kalah satu poin.

      kalau mau manage, siapa yang buat kerja? jadi jangan harap dapat management job. kalah satu poin lagi.

      kalau construction, banyak kickback. takde siapa siapa yang akan lepas tangan untuk jawatan yang penting ni….

  6. ANN Says:

    Faizal: Kalau anda dari background project management and maintenance, you can actually join the client side; i.e. petronas, shell and exxon mobil. U can either attached with the project management team department to look into the project implementation and execution phase or maintenance & integrity department under the regional / country operational office. – amy

    Faizal : Anda boleh menceburi bidang pembinaan atau penjagaan fasiliti bangunan di Qatar Petroleum atau di Kuwait Oil Company.Cuba lawati laman web mereka atau mengintai peluang temuduga terbuka di akhbar NST atau The Star.
    Shapirul : Your steam cert may have value in oleochemical plants and downstream OnG i.e petrochemical plants and oil refineries.not too long ago an assistant manager from felda joined an ethylene petrochemical plant in johor using his steam cert.

    • Wata Says:

      tang: looking at your writing skills, we do not need your services, thank you. It shows that you do not take enough care to form a presentable image of yourself. You can edit your comments before submission, y’know.

  11. Procurement Says:

    It was stated on the advertisement by Kebabangan (KPOC) above the opening for the position of Snr Contract Specialist. Is it possible if I would like to apply for a junior position? Or maybe executive? Currently i’m working with one of PSC companies under Supply Chain Management Department for a year and this is my first position in oil and gas industry after i finished my BBA early this year. Therefore I’m looking for a better career enhancement in terms of long term opportunities and remuneration. Kindly please advise.

  12. El.Eldi Finance Says:

  14. sash Says:

    Mr Wata,

    I am from telecommunication/transmission network field and am still new with the telco industry (exp about 3yrs) . I have been eyeing and trying to pursue my career into O&G companies but no luck until now due to no experience/exposure.=)

    Anyway, I believe O&G does have their own telecommunication system in terms of how they communicate between platforms or etc. Maybe I could go into that direction instead- telecommunication in O&G companies.

    Any suggestion? (since u are well-experienced in O&G)

    Thanks

    • Wata Says:

      sash: no idea. do some groundwork, and look at the big telco eqt companies, and apply to their offshore / marine / O&G arm.

    asalamualaikum,

    i am fresh graduate and have degree in mechanical. Now, i do cert at instep. i wonder is this correct path to join O&G or petronas? so..when i willl become an engnr..(but now i cant quit due to contract). so sir, i just want your opinion pls..tq

    • Wata Says:

      amchels: decide what you want to do. As far as I know, INSTEP = technician/ operator post. If you want to be an engineer, get out now, and apply directly for a job. Donate, and I will keep an eye out for you.

  16. amchels Says:

    Its hard to apply right now sir…for now..i think maybe i have to be technician for min 2 years then jump to engineer..

  17. Jabbathehutt Says:

    If you have a degree, you are an engineer (after finishing university), unless you have a ciplak degree, then you need to work 2 yrs first.

  18. kaki pangkah.. Says:

    boys and girls…

    salary wise if u jump to tobacco industries is much more better than O&G can offer…

    Local politic in Malaysia as well, young generation should take note that this is a very-very good prospect to made a career path. There a bounch of senior politician que up to be promoted as a Prime Minister..take a seat in this industry..good prospect.

    n…are we really talking with the beauty of the “engineering” or the salary wise…in this O&G.

    Seems like most of the jokers here are really concern on the “RM” issue rather than the technology…

    afraid that we are just the “operator” rather than engineer although come with degree..

    Parkson pays good s well…same to Isetan.

  19. Jabbathehutt Says:

    Most people are into O&G to make money. You can’t blame them.

    But their attitude sucks! they talk like because they are graduate people want to hire them immediately.
