Any PPO/trainee positions to apply for?

.. I saw two companies taking in people to train but I didn't like how they were taking in a batch and only keeping a few on after the 2 years of training..

I'm currently working and want to get experience elsewhere.. but to big a risk the way they doing it.. to train for 2 years at less than my current salary and not get hired back real scary..

Welcome to the new job market.

Stay where you are. Trust me. The risk is too great especially at these hard times.
You don’t choose the job, the job chooses you.

If ya job permanent and de salary is good then stay where you are.
I was part of one of those trainee programs, and let meh just say that the experience you gain is very good, but all that experience is worthless without a job.

Folks,

What are some courses (locally for now), short and medium term, that you all would recommend for someone to do while on the path to becoming a Process Engineer and afterwards? Information concerning post-grad degrees that would be beneficial to such an engineer would also be appreciated but outside of two or three degrees, what certification courses or things along those lines would you all recommend as something you did 'and never looked back since'?

The individual has some years work experience in the Energy Sector, is already a Student Member with IChemE and will be attempting to become a Student Member with the APETT as well. TIA.

I don't have the offshore experience, so good luck to someone else

[trinidrift]

Anyone knows what’s the average salary for a technician working 14 days on /off on one of those offshore platforms for the International companies like bp,shell,bg?

Can anyone put their views/experience about working on the above situation? Pros and cons besides getting horn.

Know some folks working 20 on/off and I think the salary was about $12000.00TT-$13000.00TT, however that was with Repsol and now I think Parenco.

With respect to BG don't know the salary but a guy working in maintenance said that the condition are good. His contract is handled through Kenson I believe. These bigger companies I'm not certain they hire directly, maybe for supervisory or engineering of finance positions, but for general technical services and such it's usually done through a third party labour provider.

That is for people working directly for BPTT,bg, EOG, woodgroup etc. kenson basic is around 6500 no allowance. With ot the most you could make is around 15k. But in BPTT where i am contracted to presently through Kenson ot is very hard to come by because they regulate it heavily

Sub contractors like kenson does pay that value you described. The current AD out is for direct hire from Shell. It always have an inside technician to coordinate and supervise the sub contractor. Also the rate for direct hire men is 20k upward for same time outside

Rmrunner I for a fact can tell you that you are wrong about Kenson paying 12/13k as a basic. That only comes with ot (if your getting)

[nervewrecker]

Kenson is dog wuck most said.

10000% agree

[nervewrecker]

Heard back in the day they recruited students with promises of jobs with them after. Said the top of the class does gt. Heard was always who know who and not the top of the class.
Same reason why I applied elsewhere

[rmrunner]

The figure for Kenson was an offer I got for specialist e&i tech in 2016 for 12gran 14days. It was then stated to me that it can go on to 21days and if I wanted to leave the platform before time it would be deducted from my salary. I turned it down because I could have made that same figure on land for a month.

So from 14 days at 12000 it reach to 21 days for the same salary and if u were to leave before time money would be deducted?

Kenson don’t make joke when it comes to their money. If there is a way for them to get out of spending they will. They cheap out on everything especially salary. they pay you a flat salary with no allowances and get away with it, use the cheapest medical plans they can find and have no pension plan.

[Numb3r4]

Yeah last time I checked maintenance position with Kenson was about $10,000.00 for 20 days.

[trinidrift]

9k that’s better than what they paying people offshore for 14 days.

[urbandilema]

Must have experience in a similar job. So it seem it’s not a starter job.
