Alhamdulillah I was successfully reported as trainee at Ikatan Engineering Sdn Bhd start July 2, 2012. It’s a big day for me for doing something new and goes to new place and environment. To say I was inexperienced to being at big company and do some work at factory side, it’s a lies because before this I already have a training at industrial site last year almost 3 month at DK Composites Sdn Bhd in order to fabricate our car body for Shell Eco-marathon 2011. Also for this year we’re manage to complete the car body modification process at the same factory too.
But to write my feeling during the first day at my internship is quite opposite compare to what am I doing at DK Composites.
Here we go, as I reported as trainee to Human Resources Department my blood shrunk after being introduced to each staff at management office, also head of each department and being introduced to my supervisor here. Nervous?
For sure!
As I said it’s totally differ to what I am facing during working at DK Composites. I recognize it’s because here I am alone. I am the one and only trainee at Ikatan Engineering Sdn Bhd!
Feel great? Don’t know how to answer this.
For the first day I have being given a task to calculate the total tonnage of oil-palm factory structure. My supervisor is Asst. Manager (Project) of IE so everything related to the outside tender and project it will straight forward deal with him. Sorry forgot to state his name here, Mr Tan Thiam Heng.
He was structural engineer. So what am I doing here is the job scope for structural engineer. Its curious me a lot since I was mechanical engineering student and after being at IE I were given a job as structural engineer as we all known it supposedly for civil engineering course.
But I am optimized just after he explained to me the big picture to being in engineer’s world. Engineering is related to each other. Nevertheless you are mechanical or civil or anything it will go to hang out to each other. My interest is in oil & gas industry so to be trained as structural engineer is a golden opportunity for me to gain as much as knowledge about this field of industry since structural engineering play a very huge role in oil & gas industry.
So what’s more I want to say here?
Like one of famous motivator said – sorry I don’t remember his name – you enjoy your work, it will worth every second you have been at office.
So I am enjoying my work. Analyst the plant drawing, trace the entire structural element in there and make a calculation. After everything complete key in all the data in Worksheet. Easy is it?
For overall record, this week I had one factory visit accompany with my supervisor. Also there I ever was being blast by my supervisor after I made a very simple and incomplete table for data collection. Hey guys, then I learnt now how was a feeling to being blast by boss on what we are doing is unsatisfied him.
The point here is I learn.
Ok that’s all for my short note for this week. I promise to write the series of my internship experienced every week. What can I say am I having a very great job; even it’s confusing me at first.
I hope my supervisor didn’t read this. If you read this sorry ya ;)
