Exxon Mobil Equipment tech or Operations Tech?

Hi guys, good day to you. I’m a fresh graduate degree holder in chemical engineering technology (I’m a Malaysian). I just got the interview invitation at HarbourFront Tower from ExxonMobil for Operations Technician. I’ve read through the forum thread and I’ve some questions tho, I’m seeking for some kind souls to enlighten me.

1. Will ExxonMobil cut the pay for foreigners? The current pay I saw from the past thread said that it’s around 1800 to 2000 SGD basic with around 1000 SGD shift allowance, 3 months AWS and VB.

2. I’m aware that degree holder is considered overqualified for the position, but is it true that ExxonMobil will just cap the pay maximum at it and considered you as a diploma holder? I mean like exactly the same?

3. Let’s say I don’t mind to take on the position and work as an Operations Technician, in future can I use the experience from it to just secure an Engineer job (either from ExxonMobil or other companies)? The experience is counted or not? Will it affect my career progression, in the sense of to working back as an Engineer or will be remain treated as a Technician? Can say that I’m planning to take on Technician job first as a stepping stone for few years to gain hands on experience and get into the OnG industry in Singapore. (To be honest the annual pay is decent enough to beat the pay of Engineer in Malaysia after considering living expenses and currency)

Thank you in advance to anyone who reply.

Cheers,
Mr. K

Are you interested to apply other company?My company now open hiring for this position as well?

I see. So, in the end are you working there? Or you rejected the offer?

Just a small update, I went to the interview. The interview was quite basic kind of interview for Operation Technician, which is more to know better each other (self introduction, yourself in 10 years, am I aware that the position I applied is for technician, any questions for them etc).

First round was with 2 guys, 1 of them would be the one you will be reporting to if you got the job. The interview lasted about an hour for me, after that was being told to wait awhile with HR. Few minutes later, I ended up for an English test, so called UK grammar test. There are 30 questions, 3 minutes each questions.

The result of interview will be notified by email on the end of December. You will be called for medical check up if you're shortlisted, followed by background check. Let's say if everything goes smoothly, you will be receiving another email from them in around February, asking you to tender. And yep, the intake is on April 2020. Hearsay, there are a total of 100++ candidates for that 20 technician position.

Also, hearsay EM only takes first class from NUS and NTU.

Cheers,
Mr. K

Im unsure if that’s the range set for expat or perhaps the same standard for everyone. Especially when you have non-related experience.

Which company is it? Convenient for you to disclose? Salary and benefit wise?

Cheers,
Mr. K
