Exxon Mobil Equipment tech or Operations Tech?

[Maxco]

Hi guys , recently i went for Exxon mobil interview at tuas Refinery.

Any bros here can share info on Equipment tech or Operations Tech salary and
working life.

The interviewer said that my qualifications are more suitable for equipment tech.
i hold dip in mechanical engg

very likely that i will get a position as equipment tech. i have some info abt the interview itself

[hopeful]

Operations tech need to know a great deal about plant processes, various plant equipment, line setting, permit issuing, hazards identification etc.. responsibility is great and have to do shift work.

Equipment tech are specialist in various plant equipments, which they need to do repair and overhaul.

Personally I think that operations tech experience is more valuable and not forgetting that the attractive shift allowance. However one must be able to adapt to shift life.

Thanks for the info bro.

Ya the shift allowance is very attractive, is abt 1k i believe.

The thing that worries me, will the equipment tech seen as part of the company or just someone who supports the operation.

In manufacturing the machine operators are seen as the 'customers' while the
equipment tech needs to 'serve' the manufacturing.


More info appreciated from all the bro's

Sorry to interrupt..

As what i knew is that process/operation tech is the one who will be operating all the units or machine.
And for maintenance/equipment tech will do all the repairing/trubleshoot work once the process/operation tech calls for help..

I will start working with exxon on 1st july..hope to see any of u there.

How much starting pay they are giving you

and what position...

thx bro

[hopeful]

I believe for fresh diploma is $1800 basic plus $980 shift allowance for ops tech, equipment tech no idea..

[Maxco]

i heard a shift foreman ( a lady) earning $9000, but cannot do any OT....

Bro..dun mind help ask ard for the operation and process tech's salary if possible as im in aviation line n thinking of switching due to low pay n low advancement in my current job. Thankz alot. Wish u all the best working in exxon.
