Would the person working as a project engineer be limited to working in the downstream sector of O&G specifically chemical plant sector after that number of years of work experience in ExxonMobil? If not, what are other available options that you can suggest? I appreciate your comments and thoughts. Thank you.
EM likes to rotate the new hires to different roles every 3 or 4 yrs... U can be a sales engineer now few yrs later u will be contact engineer at plant. Supply chain coordinator becoming contact engineer or even sales manager becoming HR manager is common.

Some roles in EM can be:

Contact engineer, process design engineer, project engineer, product coordinator, optimizer, business planner, logistics planner, sales engineer, marketing engineer.

The rotation is more common for chem. eng. grads as they r more versatile.

The working hours seems to be more in EM than Shell, but less pay.
It's more common to see EM ppl hopping to Shell.
