Petrotrin takes on operators around now, to cover the old men when they go on leave.
But it is internal?

n dry say I underqualified..

[demon monkey]

a grop of local personnel took offers to work in australia, some from ipsl. many ipsl operators took offers to fill the vacancies at the other companies. many other ipsl operators would be leaving to take position at the other companies in the ensuing months, including new iron.

so, vacancies would be available... and at various levels, not just entry level trainee.


there is a vacancy for an admin assistant for the operations group, because one left.

[black start]

^IPSL is demon thing.....thanks for the info though...

[sMASH]

doh say it like that. any port in a storm, and when u cyar tek it no more, you move on to greener pastures.


to somebody with out experience and money, is not a bad place to kick start your work life.

d NEC certificate is d real deal. if you have that then u sure to get work anywhere. its a well trained certificate with overall practicals.

but i didnt want to buss d leak here, but all who working IPSL, i hear is favoritism thing. its all about UTT's spoon feeding young adults and IPSL only taking those UTT students. I dont know how true it is, but i guided one of my close friends to go into eeet diploma 2 yrs at atc, and a guy started utt last year and entitled to get a job at ipsl without finishing his diploma. total bull frog if you ask me. and my friend currently works at atlantic lng under constant training, but it just goes to show overall performance is what it takes along with experience, not "UTT". its all favoritism if you ask me. All those administrative assistants at ipsl, lol i wont call names, and call themselves "Engineers" i wish you guys and girls the best of luck. Luckily i work at a company near savonetta at couva pt. lisas called pheonix gas processors, and that's a great company to get into. well treated, no discrimination at which certificate you have at whatever institution, and highly paid, i can tell you that. they also offer training for freshman operators.

Let me be the first to say, i hate the idea that certain persons on this forum claim they have high position at ipsl and giving one set of "Rooster and bull" advice to youths now seeking employment.
its like they "fraid" the youths take their jobs. lolzz just my opinion on this matter.

IPSL will hire people still pursuing diplomas temporarily until they complete said diploma. I can't say if there is favouritism in their present hiring practices or not. Why fight down their operators though? From what I hear speaking to people there, things are not all rosy and sweet, so I doubt that they'd appreciate your coming on here and calling them names.

i have nothing to hide, nor be ashamed of. i didnt even discriminate against the "operators". I called no names, and I wants no new friends. I simply stand by my rights as a trade union worker at the owtu and abide to these understandings. Who are you to tell me Im discriminating against anyone here?

but heard sumting, we may not know who to be weary about from today, if its still ipsl or proman...

So because you didn't call anyone's name the IPSL operators would not still feel as the say 'ah how?' You are applying union rules to a non unionized company, so obviously the environments are going to be vastly different. I IPSL people choose to stay there that is their right and choice. You are likewise free to work anywhere you like.
And BTW MR Current Affairs, I was last a Senior Operator more than a decade ago

From the time i saw that i stopped reading

[sMASH]

i could tell you one ting, favourtism at IPSL is debatable. we see the blue eyed boys around, but they so many people leave, they scrunt for any one they can get. plus, if i could still manage to reach up to this level, then it not so rampant as you might perceive. in times past, yes, but now, nah, is a different scenes.

Question for you IPSL people.

How do you "supervise" a contractor doing work on plants you operate when IPSL is a subsidiary company of said contractor? How do you ensure that you are getting work that is designed and built according to accepted industry standards and not what the contractor/parent company determines is "quality" work?

We apply API standards, vendor manuals etc. where applicable.
We are currently in the process of ensuring that all our inspectors are API 510/570, ASNT level II (PT, MT, UT, RT) certified.

[sMASH]

guess now we gonna be paid in Deutschmark.

we have gone from being the subsidiary to a division. not sure if they would rename or integrate upwards.

oh yeah, and 'god' has ascended into heaven. [cough] mhtl [/cough]

ok. me, i juss make sure that all my concerns are voiced to my supervisor, then carry on. i try to make sure that nothing madd goes on that can trip the plant, damage equipment, or cause harm and injury. if things get too out of my control, i just voice my concerns to my supervisor, as well as a safer method in my experienced opinion, then take a back seat.

i doh fite up with them and they madness. go, turn some valve, take some samples, press some buttons, make a 12 and go back home.

[jaredcopilah]

To become a process plant operator you will need a minimum of 5 cxc passes including Math, Eng, Chem and or Physics. A technician diploma in any or the following from UTT or any other tertiary level vocational institute:
1. Process Plant Operations or
2. Mechanical Engineering Technology or
3. Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology or
4. Instrumentation Engineering Technology or
5. Chemical Engineering Technology or
6. Petroleum Engineering Technology (For upstream Oil and Gas Companies) or
Note: Most Operators usually cross craft, for example complete 2 diplomas in different disciplines, eg PPO and MET or EEET and IET ect, before maybe pursuing a degree later on in their career.

The salary is great and has allot of over time opportunities in the profession to the point of adding 50% to doubling your monthly salary at times , and can range from the lowest paying organizations from 6-8000 per month to start as a junior operator to as high as 30-40,000 per month at the higher paying organizations at senior level operators and at supervisory level it will go up. The job is not for everyone as can be seen if researched.

[0xy1]

IPSL just had a major salary increase from what i heard.

[damion_m_k]

IPSL just had a major salary increase from what i heard.

I can confirm that!!

[sMASH]

Major as in company, not market.

[trinihub]

IPSL just had a major salary increase from what i heard.

I can confirm that!!

The increase puts them on par with other companies on the estate. Average of 14% increase across the board

[sMASH]

If that sounds good, there would be a lot of spots opening up soon, if you all want to try allyuh luck.
Word of advice: check the rest of the package, like the insurance, housing, and medical plans and compare first.

I heard be late 3 times you get a warning letter?
