The good thingsDuring my internship at Badak LNG, I had the opportunity to work in a highly professional environment with experienced engineers and advanced technologies. I gained valuable hands-on experience in mechanical systems used in LNG processing, particularly related to rotating equipment and maintenance planning. The safety culture and teamwork were outstanding, and I learned a lot from the mentorship and structured training provided.
The challengesOne of the challenges I faced was adapting to the fast-paced and highly regulated work environment, especially regarding strict safety protocols. Additionally, understanding complex LNG processing systems within a limited internship period required extra effort and continuous learning outside of regular tasks.
