Candidates typically need a degree in engineering, construction management, or a related discipline, along with experience using Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or comparable planning tools. Familiarity with EPC, offshore, oil and gas, or major infrastructure projects is advantageous.

Candidates are expected to understand scheduling methodologies, critical-path analysis, progress measurement, and project controls, while working effectively in an office-based environment in Indonesia.
Can I work in Indonesia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employer plan as a specialist with 5 years' experience; in 2018 the energy ministry said HSE, supply-chain, quality-control and junior structural posts stay closed.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: Since March 2018 the plan goes straight to the Ministry of Manpower, with no SKK Migas letter; whether the 2013 closed-posts list still binds was not confirmed.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: TKA Online, foreign-worker plan approval. Checked November 2026.
