Inspection Senior Corrosion Engineer

Mission

The Senior Corrosion Engineer is tasked with safeguarding the integrity and longevity of assets within refinery, oil & gas sites, and power plants by implementing corrosion management strategies. Their mission is to assess, prevent, and mitigate corrosion-related risks, thereby extending the life cycle of the plant/site infrastructure and ensuring operational reliability and safety.

Key Accountabilities

Corrosion Risk Assessment:
- Conduct comprehensive corrosion risk assessments of plant/site infrastructure, including equipment, pipelines, and facilities.
- Identify corrosion mechanisms, potential failure modes, and corrosion-prone areas through inspection, data analysis, and modeling.
- Evaluate the impact of corrosion on asset integrity, performance, and service life.
Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation:
- Develop and implement corrosion control measures and mitigation strategies to prevent corrosion-related failures and degradation.
- Recommend appropriate corrosion-resistant materials, coatings, and inhibitors for use in construction, maintenance, and repair activities.
- Collaborate with design, engineering, and inspection teams to incorporate corrosion management requirements into asset design and inspection practices.
Monitoring and Inspection:
- Establish corrosion monitoring programs to track corrosion rates, degradation trends, and asset condition over time.
- Conduct regular inspections, integrity assessments, and non-destructive testing (NDT) to identify corrosion damage and deterioration.
- Utilize advanced inspection techniques and technologies to assess the integrity of critical assets and infrastructure.
Lifecycle Assessment:
- Assess the remaining useful life (RUL) of plant/site infrastructure based on corrosion rates, degradation mechanisms, and asset condition.
- Conduct fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluations and risk-based inspections to determine the suitability of assets for continued operation.
- Develop asset management plans and lifecycle extension strategies to optimize asset performance and reliability.
Technical Analysis and Reporting:
- Analyze corrosion data, inspection findings, and failure analysis reports to identify root causes and trends.
- Prepare technical reports, corrosion assessments, and recommendations for management, engineering, and maintenance teams.
- Communicate corrosion-related risks, mitigation strategies, and lifecycle assessments to stakeholders and decision-makers.

Education

Qualifications

 - 8+  years of experience in corrosion engineering, materials selection, or asset integrity management within the refinery, oil & gas, or power generation industries.
- Proficiency in corrosion mechanisms, corrosion control techniques, and industry standards (e.g., NACE, API, ASTM).
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret corrosion data, perform failure analysis, and develop risk assessments.
- Knowledge of corrosion monitoring techniques, inspection methodologies, and NDT methods.
- Familiarity with corrosion modeling software, finite element analysis (FEA), and reliability engineering principles.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
- Certification as a Corrosion Specialist or Corrosion Technician (e.g., NACE certifications) is desirable.
