Yes im sure there is none they done shortlisting ppl for the plant tour.
Heard from a friend who went to the plant tour. Now theyre at the other stages of elimination rounds.

worked more than 5 yrs less than 10.
annual income bout 75k with a few constant OT.
the shift allowance in EM is bout 1k plus.
basic for new hire/fresh grad can range from 1.6k to 2k depending
on education and work experience.

Shell -
- Basic ceiling over $4k+ ard ~$1k shift allowance (non team leader), team leader is different pay structure from technician
- Bonus gao...7 months plus fixed
- OT ceiling can hit over $800 max per night
- Average annual leave and benefits
- Strong union, superiors cannot use rank to penalize technicians

EM
- Basic can hit up to near ~$5k plus ~$1k shift allowance
- Bonus 3 months fixed plus ard 2~3 months variable (calculated by percentage of your annual gross including OT)
- OT one of the highest in the industry, can hit over 1k max per night
- Average annual leave and benefits
- US style meaning need wayang and need to take on multiple responsibilities

Chevron
- Basic can hit around $3.8~$4k (non team leader), Team leader can hit ard high ~$4k plus $800 plus shift allowance
- bonus same structure as EM
- OT lowest among the 3 majors O&G companies, max can hit $600 plus for team leader position
- Good annual leave benefits

Hope to see more local youngsters joining this industry, more and more FTs are replacing locals...not much locals want to work in the sun haha...

For those who just wanna nua all the way on blue collar side best is to join Shell. The union there is the most powerful and constantly bully management which means a lot of $$$ benefits and almost impossible to sack you unless you commit career suicide like AWOL, stealing etc.

Hi,

I am a degree holder engineer, I worked previously for five years in semicon/electronics industry and currently six years in the oil and gas industry. How much can I get as a power distribution technician at EM? What are the monetary benefits? What is the medical, life insurance, home ownership and car ownership assistance?

Hi John with ur experience u will have to apply as an engineer. Engineer from what i know starting is abt 4k and will rise up to 4.8k within 2 yrs. And ur yearly income is fixed at 15 months of ur basic pay.

With experience, you can prolly earn starting perhaps 5-6k depends on job role etc.. Y dun u look arnd for opening and try.

Key thing is to write a good cv and resume.

All the best

Going for interview next week at pcs for operation tech position. Any idea what questions will they be asking? And any idea about their salary offer's?
