Its not true that its a industry only for chemical engineers. To run a chemical plant industry, besides front line operation staff, maintenance is equally important. Maintenance and/or realiability department will require mechanical, electrical/instrumentation engineers to ensure the health of the equipments such as pumps, compressors, blowers etc, so as to maximise production and reduce downtime. Normally, you will find more openings for mechanical engineers than chemical engineers. I myself is a chemical engineer background working in a chemical plant. I communicate frequently with mechanical and E&I engineers especially during troubleshooting of equipment failure. Also, since MOM mandates compulsory inspection of pressure vessels, steam receivers once every 2 years, there is also employability for professional mechanical engineers whom inspect the integrity of the said equipment. |

no idea about that... though it couldn't be too far off. What I do not know I won't say I know.  What I do know is that if you are in O&G, your future is most probably brighter than your peers working in manufacturing firms. Offshore & marine is another good place to earn money but you might not have time to spend it... |

there are some positions that only chemical engineers can take up and some that only mechanical engineers can take up. Can classify the o&g industry into: 1. construction. These are EPC companies that offers consulting, sometimes supplying of the equipment and materials, and related services. 2. manufacturing. The rely on in house or the EPCs to design/upgrade existing process. Make money from selling the downstream products. you can try searching for process/project engineers positions. Some process engrs positions prefers mechanical engrg background as they know autocad which is actually an advantage you have. Project engineers usually they would want mechanical engrs. Knowledge of Primavera P6 would be good. Don't trust me and take things with a tower of salt. |

do I have to be a chem engineer to work in positions like project engineer? |

| Unregistered | of course there are technical positions only for chemical engineers, and those are the ones that pay the most | |

O&G for non-chem engineers Hi I am a mech engin student with first class honours and I am interested to enter the O&G industry. However, it seems more like an industry for chemical engineers. What disadvantages would I have compared to them if I were to join this industry? Are there technical positions/jobs that only the chem engineers can take up? |
