1st week in KMC

It has been 1 week since I since KMC (one of the power plant inside Jurong island), how is my feeling here compare with previous company – TPS,

1. different in working environment, I need to catch up knowledge and skills on gas turbine, steam turbine and HRSG (boiler);
2. need to catch up knowledge and skills on ECI (electrical, controlling and instrumentations) due to job requirements;
3. need to be expert on CMMS (Maximo from IBM), so far what observed, the system still not be well established here after almost 1 year’s implementation;
4. staff size in KMC is much smaller than that in TPS, only 34, it looks very tight;
5. the previous guy who stood in my position left KMC 6 months ago, a lot of things needs to catch up.
6. people are very nice here, but mobile signals (my one is Singtel) lost most of time due to remote location (12km away after Jurong Island checkpoint);
7. Longer working hour (0800 am – 0530 pm) than before (0800 – 0445 pm);
8. Power generation business still is new business for Kepcorp, and just started to contribute to Kepcorp from last year.

Hi DaiHaiZhong,

Great Blog you have here :).

I have a question to ask you regarding power generation. Is sembcorp power generation business bigger or kepcorp?

We heard that Sembcorp power generation business is the strongest in Singapore, is it true?

Sorry, got a lot of questions but since you are working in the industry, must listen to you.
