✨ AI Summary
This role involves supervising and implementing corrosion mitigation and control activities in an assigned operational area, focusing on pipelines, well casing/tubing, and facilities. The Engineer, Corrosion will conduct inspections, analyze corrosion results, and recommend remedial measures. Responsibilities include providing specialist support for corrosion monitoring and control in refinery equipment, reviewing operating conditions and material performance, and assessing the metallurgy of equipment. The role also involves implementing the company's policy on corrosion control, ensuring compliance with specifications for surface preparation and coating activities, and managing work programs for cathodic protection, chemical treatment, and coating inspection. Participation in pipeline inspections, analysis of monitoring data, and review of corrosion mitigation measures for new projects are also key aspects of this position. During major turnarounds, tasks include in-situ metallography, identifying vulnerable equipment, collecting samples for analysis, and participating in Risk Based Inspection (RBI) implementation.
Requirements
Requires a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical/Metallurgy or Mechanical engineering and at least 8 years of experience in a similar role within the oil and gas industry. Must have experience in corrosion mitigation and control activities, including inspection, failure analysis, and recommending remedial measures.
