Materials and Corrosion Engineer

POSITION DESCRIPTION – PURPOSE
To be a service provider of first choice with a clear added value for materials and corrosion engineering services- To work in global alignment with other regions, and disciplines, most especially the inspection, mechanical, and process technology skill pools- To work for operating companies, joint ventures and non-customers as activity leader or via other activity leaders within MMI, or from process technology and/or project groups- To be part of a learning organization in which it is rewarding to work, and knowledge is shared effectively across the regions- To participate in industry consortia’s (e.g. JIP’s, NACE, MTI) and standards (e.g. API/ISO) meetings.- To

POSITION DESCRIPTION – ACCOUNTABILITIES
The Materials and Corrosion Engineer is expected to be able to provide:

– Support to existing facilities including;

– Shutdown planning and risk based assessments

– Material specification and prequalification

– Material failure investigations

– Troubleshooting, and technical support for corrosion and materials issues in operating plant equipment in pipelines, and upstream surface facilities.

– Process equipment operating data analysis and interpretations, as it relates to the control of integrity operating windows. Emphasis is on corrosion degradation mechanism identification and control.

– Preparation of corrosion control documents or corrosion control strategies for key process units in downstream, upstream, and gas assets

– Project support / quality assurance for materials selection, understanding the process parameters impacting corrosion and equipment life.

– Guidance and ownership of technology development, engineering standards, and best practices

– Support to development of risk-based inspection plans based on corrosion mechanisms of interest.

– Ability to develop and use corrosion models to predict corrosion rates and determine methods to control. Ability to perform failure diagnosis and mitigation work on degraded components.

– Comply with corporate and P&T standards and work processes.

The level of accountability in providing above activities will depend on specialization around M&C aspects of the discipline, as a minimum the applicant should be able to perform at TA2 level in Upstream Projects.
