Mechanical Engineers can work for various companies such as those operators, service companies and engineering consultancies. Mechanical Engineers find employment in forms of energy such as: Petroleum - Mechanical Engineers working in the oil and gas industry will be involved in drilling, manufacturing, production, equipment design, overseas arctic operations, coal technology and other petroleum based products. Ocean, offshore and arctic engineering - Mechanical Engineers in this field build and design oceanic structures such as underwater vehicles and safety and mining equipments. The oil and gas extraction industry is one of the top-paying fields in Mechanical Engineering with an average annual salary of RM500,000 in 2012. Those who worked in pipeline transportation of crude oil earned RM400,000.
A Bachelor's Degree is often enough to begin entry-level work but obtaining the ‘Ir.’ title is even better.

Technical skills
Mechanical Engineers must know how to use technology like a pro because you will deal mainly with technology. You’ll be fixing things and finding out solutions to technical issues. You’re the go-to guy whenever a machine breaks down and people expect it to function like new again.
Being able to work under pressure
Have you always been one who stays calm when the exam results are out and your friends turn pale? Or perhaps you have not finished your exam yet and time is running out. Other students scramble to complete it while you remain cool because that’s who you are? Well then, that attitude will come in handy here. This job has deadlines so you need to be able to juggle and manage other projects too and meet the deadlines. This means possessing better time management, organisational and communication skills so you can distribute the tasks evenly among other employees.
Creativity
It may seem that Engineers only build or fix things but do you know that it involves plenty of calculation too? This is why Physics and Mathematics or Additional Mathematics are the core subjects in any Engineering course. So if you’re one that never gets tired of calculation and doesn’t mind spending the rest of your life doing that, then this one’s for you!

Mechanical Engineering with Oil & Gas
Engineering has been and still is, one of the most popular and important fields. So if you’re unsure of which course to pursue in your tertiary education, any of the engineering courses such as this will secure you a job.
You will need a four year Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from an accredited college or university. Your coursework will include fundamentals such as kinematics (motion), thermodynamics, mechanics, energy and fluid dynamics. You may want to further your studies and acquire masters to obtain better job opportunities and increase your salary. Engineers who have completed their professional qualification and become a member of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) will be in high demand.
Mechanical Engineers typically work from 9am to 5pm.

Estimating Engineer
Service Engineer
Project Engineer
Technician
Reliability Engineer
Analyst, OCC Engineer
CAD Engineer
“What separates Mechanical Engineers in industry is their ability to work equally effectively in virtually any engineering industry, from biotechnology, pharmaceutical, petroleum, computers and electronics, construction, food products, energy and nuclear and engineering consulting.”
