Okay, some megalomania. These are photos of my farewell lunch from Poyry Energy (Kuala Lumpur) Sdn Bhd on Wed, 12th Nov 2008.

IChemE Interview – Pöyry Energy KL Graduate Engineer

October 15, 2008

(Did I tell you that I’m leaving Poyry and starting my own oil and gas consultancy in the New Year?)

One of our lady engineers was interviewed by the IChemE.

It helps that the IChemE is renting space in our office :)

Note: I know they refer to Afida as Sikandar, and that this is in the October issue of TCE. Check out her graduation date, we grab them while they are hot!


Saturday Star 2008-09-27 – Job Opportunities

September 29, 2008

Let’s see what the Star has in store for us this week:

  • Global Process Systems(GPS) is looking for engineers, among those listed are senior process eng, junior process, mech eng, structural, piping and a lot of designers. Emailand web presence available. I have the impression that GPS KL could do with a lot more growth and expertise if it wants to grow up from package suppliers to compete with the EPC boys.
  • My company, Pöyry, is advertising for people. We’re trying to go multi-discipline, hence the mess of senior positions open to you for the taking! Please join, we would be so happy, and maybe someone can teach me non-process stuff (I reaaally don’t get electrical).

Hey, is that it?
