Default Powergrid engineer!

Hi anybody working as an engineer in Powergrid? I went for an interview there...

The interviewer struck me as someone who is not open-minded, likes people to suck up to him and disrespectful.

Anyone working there care to say whether it is good to be working for someone like that? Or, should just go in for the money? Someone said fresh graduate about $3000 to $3500. After 3 years, can hit as much as $5000!

Feel free to air your views. Can be as "unregistered" user too!!!

are you sure after working 3 years there from fresh grad can get $5000/mth??

I assume u are 1st class honors, get $3500 starting pay

For average performer, I assume 5% annual increment for 3 years. And also 1 promotion increment assume 10% (normally is 5%).

3500 x 1.05 x 1.05 x 1.05 x 1.1 = $4456.8 only, cannot hit 5k

if u 1st class + scholar, sure can hit 5k

Default PowerGas Engineer

Hey TS, I suppose u went for interview at Singapore Power? I worked at PowerGas last time. PowerGrid is in charge of the electricity grid network. I would say this job is good. The salary there is average. But the good thing is u can earn a lot from mileage (u need a car to work). This job requires u to travel around Singapore and u can claim a lot from mileages. And the company has many benefits. The working hours r flexible too. I would say u can take up the offer.

Flex benefits of 750 per year. allows u to go overseas n claim these credits. But the main thing is the transport claim which is attractive. It is non-cpf n non taxable. SOme technicians everyday just drive around singapore n get paid. Imagine u get paid by driving around. But the pay is average, wont hit 5k in 3 yrs. But still a stable and good job.
