Position Overview

Senior Materials and Corrosion Engineer conducts materials and corrosion engineering activities under Principal or Lead Engineer supervision for FPSO/FLNG or Offshore facilities. Under Principal or Lead Engineer's supervision, Senior Materials & Corrosion Engineer conducts Feasibility / Conceptual Study / Pre-FEED/FEED, EPCI Engineering for FPSO/FLNG or Offshore facilities projects. The ideal candidate for the position will be required to have a strong background in Offshore Oil & Gas Industry, be of requisite knowledge in Materials and Corrosion Engineering, and provide specific technical expertise in Materials and Corrosion Engineering capacity for Conceptual/pre-FEED/FEED/EPC(I) projects in relation to FPSO, FLNG or offshore facilities. The candidate will also be required to provide support to Hanwha Ocean engineering teams based in Okpo/Seoul/Noida/Houston and elsewhere as necessary including Conceptual, pre-FEED and FEED for projects in the offshore area in the future. Candidates can also look forward to frequent work trips overseas for material work inspection and assignments, depending on Client needs.

Key Responsibility

• Update Corporate Technical Standards and Procedures for Materials and Corrosion Engineering (e.g. Material Selection Philosophy, Sour Service Requirement Specification, Surface Preparation and Coating Specification, Colour Coding Specification, Sacrificial Anode Specification, ICCP Specification etc.).
• Discipline Execution Plan for specific projects.
• Update and maintain EPCI and O&M phases lessons learnt database.
• Perform Conceptual/Feasibility Study to propose the optimum & competitive material selection recommendations based on corrosion concerns investigated.
• Ensure all engineering documents are prepared and developed in accordance with relevant design code, standard and client project documentation requirements.
• Provide materials and corrosion engineering expertise and support to form up optimum and competitive proposals.
• Ensure material selection and specifications are optimized and fit for purpose, internal and external environment and design life.
• Provide engineering review and support for bid proposals from Vendors / Suppliers for mechanical and piping disciplines including estimate of manhour and cost.
• Manage interface with all relevant disciplines to get necessary information for materials and corrosion engineering or to provide data to other disciplines for their engineering follow‑up.
