I notice that many of my readers are searching for opportunities in Kerteh, especially in the oil and gas sector. One such opportunity is with the Terengganu Crude Oil Terminal (TCOT), as the operatorship is being taken over by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (anyone remember when they were all housed in Wisma Peladang? Anyone remember Wisma Peladang?). My original post is here.
Anyhoo, If you think you have the appropriate experience and would like to work with Malaysia’s national oil company, you may contact the PCSB PMO (I think) HR Department. Please call the HR Department at 09 866 77 22 and request for Awang Zul or Lala. I suspect PCSB is looking for technicians and engineers.
Please refer back to my blog. Maybe I’ll get a few Imperial credits out of it.
Wata - Malaysian Oil and Gas Engineer 
hmmm, readers are flogging to Kerteh? that’s interesting…. no! that’s suspicious…..
is there any other crime boss operating out of there? you know, there are other hutts in the crime family, and i am always worry if someone is trying to outdo me.
I’m getting soft as i age… that’s bad.
Dear mr Wata
The number you give for PCSB PMO is not service anymore…I tried to submitted my cv…Just my extra effort since I had give to you my cv already….it is any alternative number you know? just asking if you really know…thank buddy
Fadzli: 5 years on, and the number still works. What are you chatting about?
Dear Mr. Wata
i would like to apply any vacancy in TCOT, especially in procurement or document preparing or controlling. I’m willing to travel depend on my job scopes. i have 1 year experienced in shipping as a boarding officer and holded diploma in maritime management. also able to produce my view relating cargo and shipping operation. Please do not hesitate to call or e mail me, if there is any vacant in any department.
Shamsul, with a donation I’ll forward your CV to people I know at TCOT.
Hahahaa, you think people will let you join procurement?
Procurement is a department were everyone gets something from a vendor. I’ve know things from a free meal every week all the way to a expensive family holiday.
Everyone in town loves to be in procurement, and with a marine diploma, it won’t work. The best you can do is becoming a document control (even that, Jabba has also rejected at least hundreds of people wanting to be doc con unless they know the procedure. I fired my doccon/admin staff that has a degree in engineering, i wonder…..)
Gook Luck
Jabba, I had that train of thought as well, but your picture paints it in a much more interesting light. Maybe I should be apply to procurement…
yeah, i know.
its like when the government says the requirement for pengarah jabatan kewangan should be a degree holder, even a 22 yrs old degree from university of chowkit wants to apply.
Again, O&G, minimum degree. if you have diploma, try night school and upgrade, or you will be stuck as a technician (kuli).
Dear sir..
isn’t CUF kertih is a part from PCSB?I still trying to be there and had used many alternative including you.mr wata…by the way,isn’t TCOT link with CUF or it had own facilities?
Thank you.
cuf is in pgb
Fadzli: Please do some homework. CUF is not part of PCSB. It’s owned by PETRONAS Gas. It supplies some utilities to the neighbouring PETRONAS related plants, esp. cooling water and steam.
TCOT does not utilise CUF. Check out this article.
Thanks for article…to mr wata…happy new year and awal muharram.
To Mr wata,
I now work as sales engineer for pump. I have 1 year experience on that. Could you suggest to me what is the best position for me to apply in Oil&Gas industry?
jere: Apply for whatever you wish for. 1 years experience is nothing. You will be hired as a graduate engineer.
to be useful, work for at least 5 years in a proper position, i.e. not sales.
assalamualikum & salam sejahtera,
Dear Sifu / Otai,
I have almost 3 years work experience staring from draughting to construction M&E Engineer right now.
With these experiences, am i able to join the O&G industry?
I miss my turtle state hometown and wish to work there
airil anuar: have you tried to contact the local engineering O&G firms in terengganu? Off the top of my head, I can name 3, and that excludes operators.
are there any opportunity for fresh graduate?(chemical engineering).
shiraz: sigh, please read the article, I think the word ‘experience’ is in there. As for other Kerteh opportunities, donate to my blog, and I’ll see if they want your CV next time I’m down there.
i like u very much….jabbathehutt.
look at this blog..80% are idiot although they claim they are graduate and coming from a big name of university. are those university starting to produce a clown in the market ???
i used to proof read and comments on petronas scholars’ reports and assignments back while i was working in the plants there. and at that time i was only a mechanical tech. tell u aahh the uni guys/gals dont know diddly squad on the works!! on paper yes. in actual… leave the hard stuff to the real men of the industry. vocational and practical studies rawkss!!
Hi KP.
Its a vicious cycle. The first generation clowns become lecturers and train second generation clowns (which are not funnier than the first). and so on…. until by the time it hits the fifth generation clown, the country is run by very un-funny clowns.
jabbathehut: you been reading Terry Pratchett lately?
Surreal description on Terry Pratchett’s work.
Reminds me of Decartes’ philosophy.
salam… hurm… i wonder if there is still company at Kertih that provides internship programs? i`m a final year engineering students… past, my father had been working at TCOT for almost 24 years… nway, thanx.
nurul: salam. Probably. Try MECIP, Steamline, MMC, Technip, LIMA, Siemens. You should be able to get a list of all the service companies in Kerteh.
Salam wata..
Thanks for this blog..actually i was looking a job at area kertih.Can you help me to foward my CV too? ^_^
Currently, i was working as a technician in Electronic Manufacturing industries at shah alam but now i realy want to shift to my hometown since my father cannot take care of himself (Stoke since last 2 years).. Already interview with petronas, exxon & etc before..but no luck yet.. ^_^
Thanks
Messi: I would try and apply to companies that have branch offices in Kerteh and state your preference that you want to move their. My experience is that those companies have difficulties in Kerteh placements, as it’s considered a one horse town (I agree) and may give you an edge. Try SGS for example. I don’t have any ties with those companies.
dear wata,i was lookong for a chemist job.can u help me to forwarding my CV?and how do can i email u my CV?now i;m working as a chemist too..in a PVT lab..
Azmir: send me a donation, and I’ll consider forwarding your CV.
salam……i’m looking for related jobs with my specification…..diploma in welding engineering technology……i also have the certification of arc & gas welding…..
amir: I am not looking for a welder. You’re looking in the wrong place.
chemist and welders.
i think you’re starting to attract shady characters. probably need to stop hanging out at the seedier places.
Jabba: Do you mean I need to
start
hanging out at the seedier places?

MAB: can you imagine someone volunteering to be Jabba’s slave? They must be newbies here, or really bored of fresh air and light.
they, there are aways gullible souls out there.
until today, there are people still asking to sell their soul to the devil. so i think they’ll be people wanting to work for jabba.
hahahahhaa

hi, kerteh is not the only one o&g town in m’sia. go look for opportunity in bintulu, miri, sibu, labuan, teluk ramunia, lumut, gurun, sungai udang n many more. u re not nobody,men if you cannot enter kerteh. as long as u have strong effort and willing to learn new things everyday, experience can be defeated. I started my 1st career in o&g kerteh as purchaser, 1 year later procurement mgr, then, project mgr and now exec dir for own company. nothing is impossible…
zaris, cool….
actually if half the people have your drive and motivation, and not beg for work here, they can make something out of themselves.
anyway, good for you.
and good riddance to the 20000000000000 people wanting wata’s email.
cool. you’re a good role model.
real biz guy not dpend on government policy and status of bumiputera.
Salam zaris, would u want to hire me?? i’m experienced in m&e engineering contractor for 3 years, i hope so much, thanks
Firdaus: you know that Zaris posted 3 years ago, correct?
ive been working offshore almost a year now.i would like to apply living quarters supervisor.im certificate in civil eng.onshore i supervise project.am i qualified to apply??
hello.
is there any by chance a corrosion field engineer with just a couple of years experience offshore gets onshore for change? tnx.
CP: I don’t know. Is there a general need for corrosion engineers onshore in other industries (M&E, facilities maintenance)? I presume that if you are working for a PETRONAS licensed contractor, they will send you where the work is, on- or offshore.
what is the similarity between corrosion engineer and a proctologist?
Both uses probe. But you get coupons with a corrosion engineer.
any job for reduction engineer?or oxidation supervisor?
Dear Wata,
I’m looking for the post of document controller around KL area. I’m a diploma holder in Secretarial Studies and have 6 years experience in document controller job. Pls. help…….

Muhaimin: ummm, not that I’m complaining, but what’s the link between donating and getting into the O&G industry? Have you tried other means in getting into the trade? Like applying for jobs with suppliers?
i have few position available

Hi,
Fresh grads rite now always want others to pass up their CVs.. Damn, just pick up the damn phone and call them yourself.. It’s not a damn hard thing to do unless you are f…ing lazy moron and know you are so damn stupid when people pick up the phone they wont even bother to entertain you..dream on if you want to work in reputable company when you are still acting like a kid and want people to give everythng to you.. damn uni grads..
Hope there is a like button to mirza yusuf comment
im knocking on each oil and gas office door when im sending them my resume to give me a chance for an interview last few years…finally i got employed 3 weeks after graduate.. and the truth is that is not my effort that secure me the job…that is what god has planned for me or in malay ketentuan allah…syukur… soooo… i think most of you EXPERIENCE peoples just shut your mouth because it is easy on our time to get employ compared to the competitive environment nowadays… there is nothing wrong to ask for someone to help you secure the position…do you think this fresh grad peoples just seat at home without doing nothing??? they may have try thousand time harder than us but still not get the job… there is nothing wrong to support each other if there is opportunity… so you EXPERIENCE people dont think that you are good enough to think that you will not face similar situation like these freshie are facing in the future… if you dont want to help shut up coz even you have 100 years experience you are still nothing for god if you behave like that…
Ok, its Jabba clobbering time.
Mirza : To be fair, we don’t really take calls. So, even if they call, I won’t answer. I don’t even answer my client. Sorry Wata, sometime I don’t pick your phone too. my bad.
Sunan : Yeah, you can syukur. That’s fine.
The main problem we have is;
1. Graduates complaining about not getting job. People come expecting that with a first class degree, they should be paid RM3500. Fat chance, no way. They guy that gets offered a job took RM2500, but got a RM1000 increment the next year.
2. Writing a CV on a blog like the idiot Fen Dey above, is useless.
3. God has nothing to do with your problem, And if you really believe in god, obviously, god loves us more because we got a job for 100 yrs and he gave is such a long life… so you are more dikasihi then you….. hahahhahhaaa

Salam Mr Wata& Jabba!
I really hope I get to meet you guys someday, hopefully during Offshore Malaysia in March ’13 @ OGA in June ’13. Or are you among the top guys yang susah untuk dijumpai? 🙂
Aishah: maybe will turn up, under MOGEC guise.
Well then, see you when I see you! (^_^)
Aishah, we will be there, maybe. If you find a big fat guy joking, give me a shout. If you identify wata, he’ll show you who jabba it.
Aishah: where’s OGA this year? Singapore ke?
Dear Mr Wata,
It’s in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
I hope I could get to attend the Conference too but not sure if the company was to pay for the registration. Will come up with a proposal about that but as for now I’m only registered as a visitor for the exhibition.. 🙂
but still haven’t received any confirmation regarding the registration.
Eh, salah info. Yg ada conference tu Offshore Malaysia. But still, same place. OGA is in KLCC too.

i’ve been following this blog since i was studied..really inspired me!!!
i’ve been working in oil & gas for about 2years(still in learning stage)..for those who will/just graduated, please stick what’s field you wanna join..don’t only think bout $$$ but put a target what’s you wanna be in next 10years…make yourself valuable..
me: working with procurement for 2years..good $$$..but very difficult to switch into technical scopes…but alhamdulillah just got offered as mech eng..$$$?? you have the answer 😦
usaha, doa & tawakal…itu plg pntg..
Freddy: good fortune to you.
Dear Freddy, me myself is the Planner cum Associate Engineer. Let’s not talk much about $$$. But still I get to do tonnes of work scopes, though they may not be done perfectly 😛 there’re so much things to learn every new day. The experience is worthless! Yea never give up, always pray and be positive, in shaa Allah we’ll get to our goal eventually.
Wata, I’d like to make a dedication to the fresh grad oso, can ah? As freddy said, I’d like to add, don’t do things for money, but do things that you love, and make money out of it. Do not worry if the $$$ is not as you expected, small steps always get you farther. Oil & gas field requires the people who have experience, which we fresh grads are lack of. But we’re all fast learners, so once you get into the field, it is time to show them what you’ve got! All the best!
yes, I started with only RM600 salary.
The money will come. its not easy. people think you join this industry because of connection. Actually not, you have to work hard. I am sure engineers in your company is getting hell, working long hours. once you succeed, you will look back, and understand nothing is for free.
Wata,Aishah,Jabba…
Yes..agreed with u..love your job since you’ll spend almost 1/2, or maybe 3/4, or 100%??? of your daily life doing it…at the end, you hv to feel satisfied, not only become a “passenger” in your organization…
encik wata, jom deting… kat kedai mamak or kedai 5bentang
s@ni: Subang Square business park.
Nk join! ;P
aishah: you know where we work.

Sani,

anyway, have fun yea encik Wata&S@ni~~^^
i would like to apply any vacancy in TCOT, especially in document preparing or controlling. I’m willing to travel depends on my job scopes. i have almost 8 years experienced in oil & gas as a Document Controller and holded certificate. Please do not hesitate to call or e mail me, if there is any vacant in any department.
Yazid: apparently your skills in document reading are a bit lacking. This post is. 5. Years. Old.
Hurrah! In the end I got a webpage from where I be able to truly obtain valuable data regarding my study and knowledge.
salam and good day,
im currently doing my third year electrical and electronics engineering in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. As part of my academic structure, i will have my internship this JANUARY 2014. i would love to be in the field of oil and gas industry. So my question are, do this company provide any placement for internship students?
if so, whom shall i contact to? or perhaps send my applications, CV and so on?
im looking forward to hear from you, tqvm 🙂
