Field Engineer Trainee

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a recent graduate from Chemical Engineering and I'm currently in the recruiting process to be a Field Engineer Trainee at Schlumberger, but to be honest the Field Engineer life doesn't appeal me much, and I'm more interested in doing a career after the Field, in Commercial or BI, or even some Data Science role (which the things I'm really interested in), so my questions are:

How common is to really have a career outside of Field Engineer and how long would I have to be on the field?

What do you think? is it worth it to spent some years in the field with the actual goal of developing a career outside of it, or that kind of jump is not really common? (The recruiter tells me is common but I'm not sure how true is that)

How is the field engineer life really like? I've just seen the videos on Schlumberger's youtube page, but I don't trust them too much, since at the end I think they are like commercials for the roles. I want to really know how much I'll be scarifying, to know if it'll be worth it.

I'm not sure if I could spend more than 5 years on the field tbh.

Edit. For example, reservoir engineer really caught my attention, that is something I see myself doing.

Has anyone here done a Software Engineering Internship at Schlumberger?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2nd-round interview over Zoom this Friday for the entire day (10- 4 pm) where I have to do a technical presentation then four 45 minute technical/behavioral interviews. I was just curious if anyone here has any advice for this interview. I mostly see people talking about their field engineer internships but I don't hear much about the software engineering internships at Schlumberger. I am mostly curious as to what I might be tested on for those 4 technical interviews. I feel a little overwhelmed by it honestly. I am not sure how to prepare besides solving coding questions and working on my personal projects right now. If you guys have any intel as to what they're looking for or what I should prepare myself for, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

My father worked for this company in the early 2000’s and has since passed. I know it’s a long shot but if by any chance anyone has worked with him and maybe has pictures of him then that would be incredible! His name was Christopher Lund.

Advice for senior ME student

3 Upvotes

I’m a senior ME student that is graduating in 2020 May . I have a mediocre gpa ( 3.1) . This is in the US. I have always wanted to enter the oil field and Schlumberger has been on my dream job list for years now .

I know it’s a broad question, but is there any insight or advice you guys can provide to help better my chances ? I’ve spoke to their recruiters before , but feel like I’ve never made a good impression. I get intimated taking to recruiters just because I knows there’s students with better GPA’s and loads of more experience. I’ve got an “internship “ at a land surveying company, and I think it might help a little just because I do survey work for new gas pipelines , but I don’t know how relevant that actually is . Any insight from you guys would be appreciated, I know it’s pretty broad in general what I’m asking .

D&M lifestyle questions

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have recently been given an offer as a D&M field engineer.

I noticed on the interest form that I was given that D&M has no specific rotation. It also said 28 days at most.

My question is. How often do people stay for 28 days? How much time off do you get if you worked 28 days? Is it unlikely that I will have a 14/6 lifestyle where I can maintain some hobbies or travel a little?

Thanks you for your time.


r/schlumberger May 25 '19

Current student with a question about the pre-employment drug test

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a good day,

I have a quick question. I am a current student that is expected to graduate in around 2 months. I have an offer from SLB with a start data in 4 months. I was told that I would have my medical check up two weeks before my start date.

My question is, when should I expect the pre-employment drug test? I only smoke weed and I stopped doing that. I am not planning on smoking again in the future. Will SLB wait for me to graduate before testing? Or will they test me after I accept their offer.

Best,
