Hello Guys.
I am considering going for my Masters in one of the above specialties this September,I will like to get some advice from engineers working in the Oil & Gas Industry.
I have a BEng and currently work as a Non-Destructive Testing Tech (NDT) for an Inspection company. My job has been mainly carrying out inspections & testings on Subsea components like Stab-plate Jumpers, BOP and Manifolds, recently some pipeline inspections as well.
I have a big interest in the O&G industry and will like to move into Pipeline section of it maybe in the future become a Subsea Pipeline engineer.
My problem is will a Msc in Pipeline engineering be a better choice for me in terms of my future goal and will my NDT experience coupled with the Msc help me stand out. I feel Subsea engineering sounds a little bit sophisticated if I haven’t got much experience to back it up with.
I will appreciate it if anyone currently in the industry could share or advise on how best to go about it and how the job market is as well.
Thanks in advance
