Employment Type:

Full Time

• Support end-to-end deployment and operationalization of AVEVA predictive analytics and asset performance solutions across customer facilities.
• Provide corrosion and mechanical integrity subject matter expertise during asset onboarding, solution configuration, and model development.
• Collaborate with analytics, data science, product, and delivery teams to ensure predictive models accurately reflect corrosion mechanisms, integrity risks, operating conditions, inspection strategies, and historical degradation patterns.
• Support asset criticality assessments, use case definition, and identification of high-value monitoring opportunities for pipelines, pressure vessels, piping systems, static process equipment, and corrosion loops and circuits.
• Participate in model validation, alert tuning, calibration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) activities prior to go‑live.
• Correlate predictive model outputs with operational and integrity data such as wall‑thickness measurements, corrosion rates, inspection findings, chemical injection data, process fluid composition, and environmental and operational conditions.
• Validate model outputs against known degradation mechanisms, inspection history, and operating conditions to improve model accuracy and reliability.
• Provide engineering input to support expansion of predictive monitoring coverage to additional assets and integrity circuits.
• Monitor and manage predictive anomaly alerts related to corrosion and integrity risks across deployed assets.
• Assess alert severity, validate operational impact, and recommend appropriate prioritisation and mitigation actions.
• Identify early indicators of internal and external corrosion, corrosion under insulation (CUI), erosion‑corrosion, wall thinning, and integrity degradation.
• Recommend proactive inspection, mitigation, repair, and operational intervention strategies before integrity failures or shutdowns occur.
• Collaborate with customer inspection, integrity, operations, maintenance, and reliability teams to plan and execute corrective and preventive activities.
• Review, validate, and ope rationalise AI/analytics‑driven recommendations generated through deployed AVEVA solutions.
• Support risk‑based inspection (RBI), fitness‑for‑service (FFS), corrosion management, and integrity optimisation initiatives.
• Ensure predictive models remain aligned with actual operating conditions, inspection strategies, and integrity management practices throughout the sustainment lifecycle.
• Act as the primary technical focal point during sustainment and managed service phases for assigned integrity and corrosion monitoring portfolios.
• Support continuous improvement, model refinement, and enhancement of predictive monitoring effectiveness.
• Track and report integrity and value‑realisation KPIs such as inspection deferrals justified, early wall‑loss detection, avoided integrity failures, reduced inspection costs, and reduced unplanned downtime.
• Participate in governance meetings, technical reviews, workshops, and value‑realisation sessions with customer stakeholders and project teams.
• Provide operational feedback and engineering recommendations to analytics, product, and delivery teams to improve solution performance and customer outcomes.
• Support long‑term customer adoption, sustainment, and continuous business value realisation from deployed predictive analytics solutions.
• Conduct periodic visits to customer plants, operational facilities and industrial sites to support deployment activities, technical assessments, alert validation, integrity reviews, and stakeholder engagement.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Metallurgical, Materials or Chemical Engineering.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in corrosion engineering, inspection engineering or mechanical integrity management within oil & gas, refining, petrochemical or industrial environments.
• Strong expertise in corrosion monitoring, degradation assessment and integrity risk management.
• Experie…
