Job description

About the Job:

Supervises and implements routine and non-routine corrosion mitigation and control activities in assigned operational area. Conducts corrosion inspection on pipelines, well casing/tubing, and carries out failure investigations related to corrosion attacks on wells, processing, transmitting and storage facilities. Analyzes related corrosion results and recommends remedial measures. Provides specialist support and assumes responsibility for areas related to corrosion monitoring and control in Refinery including plant, offsite and jetty equipment, and piping. Reviews the operating conditions to assess and monitor corrosive conditions and evaluates the material performance in corrosive streams. Reviews the metallurgy of the equipment and piping and makes recommendations for upgrading as required. Conducts Remaining Life Assessment (RLA) for long service used high temperature high Pressure equipment. Initiates and implements the Company's policy on corrosion control. Ensures that all surface preparation and coating activities carried out on new and existing facilities are in accordance with approved specifications.

Key Accountabilities:

• Implements the Company's corrosion control policies to mitigate corrosion attacks on static structures, equipment and associated facilities. Plans and implements work programs covering Cathodic Protection, Chemical Treatment, Internal Corrosion Monitoring, Failure Investigation and Coating inspection & evaluation etc.
• Conducts corrosion inspection on pipelines, well casing/tubing, and carries out failure investigations related to corrosion attacks on wells, processing, transmitting and storage facilities. Analyzes related corrosion results and recommends remedial measures.
• Plans and evaluates the results of all routine and non-routine cathodic protection surveys intended to confirm the effectiveness of deployed systems. Makes appropriate technical recommendations for possible improvements.
• Conducts effective monitoring programs on coatings of existing equipment, structures and facilities to assess conditions and identify problems. Prepares adequate coating repair programs. Participates in supervising intelligent pipeline tool inspection. Analyzes recorded data and plans necessary inspection/repair program.
