Material and Corrosion Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop metallic and non-metallic material selection philosophies, reports, diagrams for all process equipment and utilities.
• Perform corrosion rate evaluations for conventional (sweet & sour) and non-conventional streams (such as seawater-based systems etc).
• Perform erosion rate evaluations using DNV-RP-O501 guidelines and identify the erosion risks for project facilities early on within the development phase.
• Review of internal (PFDs, P&IDs, process line lists, piping lists, piping isometrics, technical specifications, drawings) and vendor’s deliverables to ensure materials and corrosion control are aligned with specifications and contracts.
• Participate in meetings, audits, workshops, design reviews, risk assessment sessions, root cause analysis where material selection and corrosion control are relevant.

Requirements

• 10 years’ experience in corrosion control and material selection for FPSOS, FSOS, FLNGSs during FEED, detailed engineering and execution.
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Metallurgy, Petroleum, Materials Science or related technical field from an accredited college or university.
• Certification from corrosion and materials related professional association like NACE is highly preferable.
• International Offshore Material Selection Standards such as ISO 21457 and Norsok M-001.
• International standards like NACE/ASTM/API/ISO/DNV and other relevant standards, including NACE MR-0175/ISO-15156 for material selection and required properties (hardness control, boundary limits etc.) for CS/LTCS and CRA in sour service.
• International materials standards and pressure vessel and piping fabrication codes.
• Internal as well as external corrosion & degradation mechanisms in the upstream offshore Oil & Gas industry units including Gas Dehydration Unit, Gas Sweetening Unit, Separation Units, Crude Stabilization Unit, Compression Units, Produced Water & Seawater Treatment Systems, etc.
• Corrosion rate calculation software such as ECE, Predict.
• Functioning principles, fabrication technologies and build characteristics of the equipment used in the topside process plant.
• Chemical injection systems w.r.t corrosion mitigation for FPSOS, FSOS, FLNGSs, topsides and hull (marine systems).
• Materials failure mechanisms and common corrosion challenges on offshore assets.
• Knowledge of the functioning principles of CP systems (ICCP and SACCP), painting, lining, insulation and fireproofing is a plus.
• Good communication skills, sense of ownership, ability to take initiative. Team-player who delivers in a multicultural environment, willing to share knowledge, standardize and simplify.
