NapoleonHill:


Senior man, do you have already or you're at the negotiating stage? When did you apply or is it through referral?

Do you have idea of their current salary

ExpertNLer:
20m+ per annum for engineer as at 2018 recruitment

Dreldee:


Good one, thanks.
Buh is it for fresh graduate or experience hire engineer?
And by engineer you mean Information System Engineer or it goes for all engineers?
Plus is before tax I guess?
That reminds me, nice to see in this thread scholar.

ExpertNLer:
graduate. experience is much hire - I mean engineer in upstream e.g mechanical, process etc. Information systems should be slightly lower than the typical upstream ones

friffy:
Good day Engineers,

Please what is the Daily net rate offshore . A client is in the negotiation stage.

Boy...you wanna know the truth....Biochemistry wont get you ur oil job...and forget this oil job u re talking about....you must have a career first before talking about oil...say forget you are an accountant..or biz analyst..or finance analyst..or hr professional..

but in your own case..you are a biochemist..oil companies dont need biochemist..thats the truth...( i am talking from experience..i have bsc in biochemistry just like you ok)...

look at it this way..its all about competition...where will you be able to compete and compete well...risk management hello no...someone with MBA with beat you to it...

off shore technology..what is that..what will you be working as...where off shore...on the rig>.thats the question...will you be able to compete with someone that read pipeline engineering ...??..remember its all about competition..unless you know someone

my advice..if you dont intend on being a lecturer...forget your biochemist ...if you want to be a lecturer..pursue your phd in biochemistry..you can compete well...cos u ve phd in ur field...otherwise...pursue and MBA..after that you can tailor it to whatever you want....e.g...do IT..mayb oracle/sap/ traing..and compete as a IT analyst/ manager/ it project manager/it business analyst....or you tailor or MBA to project management..do pmp/prince2..or tailor it to to anything you feel relevant or wanted....or maybe even risk as you rightly spotted...a certification in risk management wil do..with your MBA degree..you can compete as a risk manager..your biochemistry background can b overlooked


its all very simple...there is a lot of competition..ensure you stand out...by the way..make sure you grad with a distinction so you can compete..remember you are coming from norway..which isnt uk or us...there is alot of competition..

forget oil companies for now...tailor your career...come home take any job to build experience...tight it up with certification..and about 5 yrs experience..then you can face oil companiyes..

BIOCHEMISTY IS A RUBBISH DEGREE...(by the way i now work as a project manager...did a msc degree IT management from a leading university in the uk)

Polchiz:

You are wrong.

Shell employs Biochemists in the Technical business area of Innovation, Research and Development.
It is clearly stated.

In fact with the 2050 target for Zero carbon, they highly needed.

Additionally, any graduate can be trained for Downstream Commercial sector especially in Supply Chain and Logistics.

Not Shell NG sha - That's Shell US and Shell UK that are heavy on R&

And you didn't tell the guy that he also has opportunity in DPR as an environmentalist.

Does that only exist in UK and USA?

Maybe DPR is not part of oil and gas.

Who do you employ in your Sales, Trading, Supply Chain and Logistics divisions?

We don't study that in Nigeria.

ExpertNLer:
Oh definitely there's opportunities for environmentalist. I wasn't saying there isn't opportunity for environmentalist. Just that the opportunities are not as much vs traditional engineering

SU50:
Good day all,

This thread has been very insightful and revealing with regards the oil and gas industry. Kudos to the Creator and contributors, your submissions stood the test of time.

I am looking for information regarding IT roles (especially entry level) in the industry. I have. B.Sc and currently working towards a few courses in Fin/data and biz analysis.

What possible roles may one be employed into? What certifications are needed, and given the depth of IT, what particular 'niche' is most occuring and sought after by these coys.

Awaiting your response.
