Pros

Good experience for my CV

Cons

Project Manager had no experience in that kind of role before and was a bully. No respect for landholders' properties that the project traversed. REALLY old school in terms of "get it in the ground, nothing else matters" mentality.

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.
