SENIOR MATERIAL AND CORROSION ENGINEER

Overview

Job Responsibilities

• Lead material selection and corrosion engineering activities for onshore and offshore oil & gas facilities including pipelines, pressure vessels, piping systems, tanks, and process equipment.
• Develop and review material selection reports, corrosion assessments, corrosion management philosophies, and material specifications in accordance with project and client requirements.
• Perform corrosion studies including internal and external corrosion analysis, corrosion rate calculations, and mitigation strategies for process systems and utilities.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables such as corrosion control documents, coating specifications, cathodic protection requirements, insulation specifications, and material requisitions.
• Evaluate material suitability for sour service, high-temperature, corrosive, and offshore environments in compliance with international standards and client specifications.
• Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, inspection, and procurement disciplines to ensure optimized and cost-effective material solutions.
• Provide technical support during procurement, fabrication, construction, and commissioning phases, including resolution of material-related technical queries and NCRs.
• Review vendor documents, material certificates, and third-party engineering submissions for technical compliance.
• Support risk-based inspection (RBI), integrity management, and fitness-for-service assessments where required.
• Participate in HAZOP, design reviews, technical bid evaluations, and project engineering meetings.
• Ensure compliance with project HSE requirements, international codes, and company engineering standards.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on corrosion mitigation and material engineering best practices.
