Job description

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement corrosion management strategies for oil and gas facilities, including pipelines, tanks, offshore platforms, and processing plants.

  • Conduct materials selection for various applications, ensuring they meet project requirements and environmental conditions.

  • Evaluate and specify coatings, linings, cathodic protection systems, and other corrosion control measures.

  • Perform failure analysis on materials and components, identifying root causes and recommending solutions to prevent recurrence.

  • Coordinate and conduct corrosion monitoring activities, including field inspections, electrochemical testing, and data analysis.

  • Provide technical support for project teams during design, construction, commissioning, and operations phases to ensure material and corrosion considerations are addressed.

  • Develop and maintain corrosion management documentation, including reports, procedures, and records.

  • Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, such as NACE, API, ASME, and ASTM.

  • Work closely with maintenance, inspection, and engineering teams to improve asset integrity and longevity.

  • Train and mentor junior engineers and field personnel on corrosion prevention best practices.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree is a plus.

  • Minimum of 6 years of experience in materials and corrosion engineering within the oil and gas industry.

  • In-depth knowledge of corrosion mechanisms, materials selection, and corrosion control techniques in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.

  • Familiarity with industry standards, including NACE, API, ASME, and ASTM.

  • Proficiency in corrosion modelling software and materials testing methods.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

  • Certification in corrosion engineering (e.g., NACE CP or CIP) is preferred.
