• Perform corrosion risk assessments by examining environmental and operational factors, material characteristics, and historical records to support mitigation planning.
• Participate in root cause analyses of pipeline corrosion incidents and help formulate corrective actions and long‑term prevention plans.
• Conduct field activities such as pipeline coupon retrieval, corrosion surveys, and inspection of protective systems to assess integrity and performance.
• Perform laboratory‑based corrosion testing, including analysis of field samples using weight loss methods, microscopy, and electrochemical techniques.
• Engage in the selection and refinement of corrosion mitigation strategies, including cathodic protection systems, coatings, and chemical inhibitors.
• Interpret data from inline inspection tools, coupon testing, and lab measurements to evaluate pipeline integrity and corrosion progression.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to prepare technical reports, develop client presentations, and deliver actionable recommendations based on field and lab findings.
