This position requires full relocation to Saudi Arabia. It is a permanent full-time Expat Relocation Package.

We are seeking a Plant Corrosion Engineer to join the Riyas Engineering Division (RNGLFD), part of the Riyas NGL Fractionation Dept (RNGLFD). RNGLFD is responsible for two trains, each designed to process 255 MBOD (242.25 MBCD). Each train will include fractionation units, C3 & C4 treatment, dehydration, and propane refrigeration. Common facilities include feed and product surge storage, chemicals storage, utilities such as steam and condensate recovery, utility water, instrument air, nitrogen systems, machinery cooling water, drainage, and flare systems.

Your primary role will be to implement, support, and continually improve RNGLFP inspection corrosion management programs and provide consultative advice in materials, ensuring cost‑effective material selection and corrosion mitigation strategies that maintain mechanical integrity of plant assets, including equipment and piping throughout their life cycle.

• Implement corrosion management program, on‑stream monitoring, and conduct risk‑based inspection based on API‑580 methodology.
• Review and approve recommendations for coating failures and cathodic protection; participate in HAZOP review sessions and ensure issues are addressed.
• Manage water treatment program, recommend solutions to challenges, review design packages, and validate materials selection based on current codes and standards.
• Validate corrosion controls, CCD, corrosion loops, and corrosion damage mechanisms frequently.
• Assess FEED composition changes and approve recommended solutions to assure asset integrity.
• Develop scope and description of technology items, and lead field implementation.
• Transfer knowledge on coating, cathodic protection, corrosion inhibitors, and other controls and best practices.
• Extract data and draw conclusions from corrosion monitoring technologies; troubleshoot corrosion problems and address root causes.
• Perform regular review and update of plant Integrity Operating Windows (IOW) and corrosion loops drawings; update with emerging damage mechanisms or remove outdated ones.
• Adjust and modify inspection practices and programs based on changes; perform special studies in corrosion control; evaluate data for scope, impact, and long‑range cost‑effectiveness on existing and new projects.
• Review operations and monitoring activities to identify needed system modifications or procedural changes, conduct corrosion mitigation and integrity reviews to optimize inspection and corrosion programs, maintaining asset integrity.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, preferably mechanical engineering.
• 15 years’ experience in the Oil & Gas industry.
• Experience in material science and metrology, various NDT technologies and their applications, and knowledge of welding engineering aspects.
• Strong knowledge of international standards and codes (NACE, ASME, API, ASTM), especially API‑571, API‑580, API‑570, and API‑510.
• Valid NACE Specialist Certification or NACE Senior Corrosion Technologist, or combination of NACE Corrosion Technologist, API‑571, and NACE CP level II.
