Pls how can one get in as an instrument engineer??

Firstly, you need to get the basics....several companies are no longer interested in training pple except those still in collaboration with NNPC such as MPN. Instrumentation is a very weird career, thats the first thing you must knw, try get in to a basic training first then you can get yourself a job in a manufacturing/process company then prolly progress into O&G.

Feel free to ask more question...or discuss @beryour

Request for Instrumentation Materials

Instrumentation is the branch of Engineering which deals with the measurement, monitoring, display etc. of the various energy exchanges which take place during process operations. Simply put it, Instrumentation is the Study of Instrument.

An instrument is a device which is used to measure, monitor, control...process variable. And these process Variable are

1. Flow
2. Temperature
3. Level
4. Pressure
5. pH
6. CO2 etc

If you're aspiring to be an Instrument Engineer, you'd need good and quality training. There are many Quality training Institute across Nigeria. And their prices differs...typically, the price for training would be in the range of N60,000 - N450,000. Many times, the higher the fee, the better the total package.


Instrumentation knowledge and Skill is very marketable. You can easily slide into other great career paths like Automation, PLC programming etc. And it is very much a field work.

Now, when I speak with some students or recently job seeking graduates, their usual complain is that these trainings are too expensive. I always tell them that it is because the prospect is good and besides, anything of value isn't always cheap. An Engineer who just recently graduated with need quality skills to be of value to any organization and at the basic level of graduating, many Engineers lack quality skills.

You can choose to Tutor yourself or find a quality training institute that you can learn new skills to make you marketable. Companies will not employ you because you're a graduate; but they will employ you because you can help them solve their problems.

If you cannot afford at this time to attend a training institute on Instrumentation, you can contact me for Quality training Materials on

1. Instrumentation
2. Calibration
3. Automation
4. Programming of PLC. Etc

These materials are from some of the best training schools, both local and abroad.

I would send to you the total Package via Courier. If you are a diligent person with a sense of purpose towards developing skills that are well sought after in the Energy, Oil and Gas, as well as the Manufacturing Sector, you'd become an Asset in no time.

The books and Videos I am going to send you will be a great source of knowledge and skill development if you are resourceful and willing to read and read and read and practice.

Not to make this post too long, you can contact me via

Newfrontiers09@gmail.com

or

0703 221 4269 for further questions.


In as much as you've done well in stating the tiny basics of Instrumentation...you should also do well to explain to peeps that being an Instrumentation Pro is not just about Training materials and certificates....hands-on is paramount.
Thanks

Hello Fellow NL,
I am a graduate of Geology with 2 years experience is Geotechnics/Engineering Geology, looking for opportunities offshore/onshore.

Well, coming offshore is not that easy as several companies will not be willing to pay for your survival training cert which is a compulsory requirement for coming offshore (BOSIET) also its difficult to hire a non-experienced personnel for offshore duties...my advice is to try and get an onshore job first and build from there...cheers

Please I need advice, I just got an offer to work offshore,was told to do offshore medical test. Where can I do the test? Like what the price and what are the requirements? Thanks

You need to ask questions properly, did they invite you to come and take the test? (as real companies will do) or they want you to go get the test result elsewhere...anyway ask them for the acceptable medical houses as they might reject some clinics...the test is just about sight, sound, weight+height, x-rays, stool and urine test..etc....its basically to confirm your fitness to work offshores. The price depends on the clinic.

If you were asked to choose between these two elective courses, Finite element analysis and reliability engineering which would you choose?

Apparently you are doing subsea engineering. I'll advise you pick reliability engineering because it's applicable in all engineering areas, in fact any good system needs reliability. However, it depends on what you'll eventually do in life. going much into structures and stability calculations, you MAY need FEA.

Food Engineering is good course, though I am hearing for the first time. I know of food technology.
It is better you develop your passion towards the fortune food engineering can provide for you than eyeing oil jobs which already have enough population at the door begging to enter.

Better days ahead!!!

Okay ooooo. But as a female, you can still use your food engineering career to be preparing food for those really doing the oil and gas work and at the same time engineering the food in your hubby home. lol.
So just look for a way in which your course can fit into offshore job.

Good luck!!!

Its quite sad that the after politics, O&G sector follow suite in corruption...No need to divert from your food engineering, you could still get on as far as its part of engineering. Also you can take up other Engineering subs as your masters. I have colleagues who did computer science but works with me as an Instrument Engineer and also some who did other courses very different from engineering....buh that, It is what it is.

You don't need any of these drilling courses being bandied around. You've got a degree in mechanical engineering, I think that's enough to get you a job. Most of the drilling courses being advertised are actually roughneck/deckhand courses. I almost went for it after uni. I've had people travel to Maritime Drilling School in Canada for this same course and it got them zilch. You should apply to get that first job then you can go for any of the IADC accredited courses. Google is your friend, you can start by doing a lil research. Goodluck in your search, bro.
