Pros

Was offshore based so saw a lot of varied activities. Training schemes involved good amount of travel and a variety of interesting courses.

Cons

Offshore rotation for Field Engineer position was poor. Poor salary in relation to commitment required. Felt undervalued by onshore office.

Pros

Great responsibility for offshore operations and quay-side mobilizations. Less technical role (no direct engineering performed), but more so, practical experience-driven when executing onsite.

Cons

Lots of reading and writing (Purchase Requests>Purchase Orders>Final contracts). Bureaucratic procurement (SAP and Word/Excel heavy) and poor interdepartmental follow-up: you have to do the follow-up when the assigned project inspector and expeditor (POSE) don't follow up on your PO. High workload.
