Lol...how can you have a title of "ops engineer" when first off you do not have an BS in engineering and to top it off you have a GED. You should be ashamed of yourself....engineer....

I highly doubt Sasol is giving out engineering job titles to people without an engineering degree.

I wouldn't get all high and mighty. There's nothing wrong with a GED.

Each company sets their own educational requirements for engineering jobs. A lot of engineering jobs are held by competent professionals without engineering degrees. Shhhhh. Don't tell Obama, or the feds will make a bunch of new rules. Shouldn't a company have the right to hire whomever they want for a position?

Never said there was but I have never heard of
someone hired with an engineer title without having a degree in the college of engineering. I have worked in the down stream and up stream side of the buisness since I graduated in 1993....and yes I finshed in the college of engineering.

No I just think it is a disgrace to the engineering profession to give someone a job title without having a BS in engineering.

Wow only "YOU" can take a few hours from u of h and be classified as an engineer....lol....dang you good I must admit...

But yes Sasol is still planning a big expansion project (company I work for is quoting stuff). But the GtoL plan has been cancelled from what I hear.

Sasol is a gas to liquids plant......they have an operating facility in Usbeckastan (sp).

it is only one of two in the world currently operating.
Shell has the other in Quatar.

Shell is considering one in the US now.

On the surface it would seem the only threat to their success is the price of Natural Gas......which should be low for years to come in this area considering the shale plays.....

Might be a good play for you W

The only reason I even kind of interested is because it's on land and still have same time off with good benefits

but I only have 15 years left to retire with my company now so just curious what kind of place Sasol is and if it's worth the risk of switching jobs

But I'm 100% happy where I'm at now plus I have almost a full time guide business on days off

Sounds like an operations job, at their powerhouse. It would also include all the utlity lines running to all units, which may be why they throw the pipeline phrase in there(possibly). Working off shore on operating rigs for 15 yrs would make someone a candidate for that job i would think.
Also companies title lots of things as engineer doesn't mean it requires a eng degree.

So do you have a BS Degree?? So it seems by your thinking / comment I guess if a college grad is x amount of hours short from their degree they can now just claim that they are a college graduate...lol

Bubble gums please take not that a few college hours does not mean you have a degree.
