Job description

Building on our past. Ready for the future.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform material selection for offshore and onshore facilities, considering factors such as corrosive environments, temperature, and pressure conditions.
• Develop and implement corrosion management strategies, including cathodic protection, coatings, and inhibitors.
• Provide guidance on material and coating compatibility with fluids and gases handled by the system.
• Design and implement asset integrity programs, including risk-based inspection (RBI), failure mode, and effects analysis (FMEA).
• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for material failures and recommend corrective actions.
• Evaluate and provide recommendations on fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments for aging assets.
• Ensure compliance with international codes and standards such as NACE, ASME, API, ISO, and ASTM.
• Maintain familiarity with regional and client-specific requirements.
• Provide support to FEED, detailed engineering, and EPC phases for material and corrosion-related aspects.
• Collaborate with Process, Mechanical, and Piping disciplines to integrate corrosion control measures into design deliverables.
• Review and approve material requisitions, technical bid evaluations, and vendor documents.

Qualifications

Education – Qualifications, Accreditation, Training:
Full-Time Bachelor’s Degree Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field MME (Ministry of Municipality and Environment) engineering accreditation is a mandatory requirement. Candidates not holding this accreditation must be willing to achieve this within the probationary period. Certification in NACE (e.g., CIP Level 3, CP Technologist, or Corrosion Specialist) or equivalent is highly desirable. Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status or undertaking the same will be an advantage

Industry Specific Experience

Experience in materials and corrosion engineering, with significant exposure to offshore and onshore oil and gas projects. Proven track record in FEED, detailed design, and EPC phases. Familiarity with LNG, FPSO, and subsea systems is advantageous. Deep knowledge of material properties, corrosion mechanisms, and mitigation techniques. Proficiency in using corrosion modeling software (e.g., ECE, NORSOK, or equivalent). Experience with cathodic protection design, including impressed current and sacrificial anode systems. Strong understanding of welding and fabrication processes and their impact on material integrity.

Software And Tools

Proficiency in engineering design tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalent for stress analysis of materials. Familiarity with tools for RBI and integrity management (e.g., DNV Synergi, API RBI).
