Lead Materials & Corrosion

About the job LEAD MATERIALS & CORROSION

We are seeking an experienced Lead Materials & Corrosion Engineer to lead and oversee materials engineering, corrosion management, and materials selection activities during the FEED and Detailed Design phases of large-scale industrial, oil & gas, and petrochemical projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring appropriate material selection, developing corrosion control strategies, reviewing engineering deliverables, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring compliance with applicable international standards, project specifications, and industry best practices.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead and manage Materials & Corrosion Engineering activities during FEED and Detailed Design phases of projects.
• Oversee the development, review, and approval of materials and corrosion engineering deliverables including, materials selection reports (MSR), corrosion management strategies and philosophies, corrosion control and monitoring plans, materials selection diagrams (MSD), piping and pipeline material specifications, corrosion allowance calculations, corrosion rate assessments
• Develop and establish materials selection philosophies, corrosion management strategies, and engineering guidelines in accordance with project requirements.
• Ensure appropriate material selection for process equipment, piping systems, pipelines, and other project facilities based on operating conditions and corrosion risks.
• Evaluate corrosion mechanisms including CO2 corrosion, H2S corrosion, oxygen corrosion, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), erosion-corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking.
• Review and assess material compatibility with process fluids, operating temperatures, pressures, and environmental conditions.
• Provide technical guidance on the selection of carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, super duplex stainless steel, nickel alloys, CRA, and other specialty materials.
• Review and approve material specifications, piping classes, equipment datasheets, and vendor technical documentation.
• Coordinate with Process, Piping, Mechanical, Pipeline, Civil, Structural, and other engineering disciplines to ensure effective materials engineering integration.
• Ensure compliance with applicable international standards and codes including ASME, ASTM, API, NACE/AMPP, ISO, and relevant project specifications.
• Participate in design reviews, HAZID, HAZOP, materials reviews, constructability reviews, and value engineering workshops.
• Review technical documentation and material selection proposals submitted by engineering contractors, suppliers, and vendors.
• Support procurement activities through technical bid evaluations, material technical assessments, and vendor document reviews.
• Identify potential material degradation and corrosion risks and recommend appropriate mitigation and control measures.
• Provide technical support for corrosion prevention methods, including coatings, linings, corrosion inhibitors, and cathodic protection systems.
• Lead technical discussions with clients, consultants, licensors, contractors, and third-party stakeholders.
• Monitor engineering progress and ensure materials and corrosion deliverables are completed within project schedules and quality requirements.
• Provide technical support during construction, installation, inspection, testing, pre-commissioning, and commissioning activities.
• Mentor and guide materials and corrosion engineers to ensure technical quality and consistency across engineering deliverables.
