Corrosion Engineer - Relocate to Saudi Arabia, Expat

This position requires full relocation to Saudi Arabia. It is a permanent full time Expat family relocation package.

We are seeking a corrosion engineer to join the Southern Area Asset Integrity Division (SAAID) of SAOP Technical Support Department.

SAAID is responsible for providing effective and proactive corrosion management support to safeguard assets while adopting best industry practices and cutting-edge technologies.

Your primary role is to perform integrity and corrosion analysis studies to assess current challenges and develop a mitigation plan by implementing cost effective solutions and deployment of advanced and proven technologies to prevent or significantly reduce the impact of corrosion. This is to be supported with benchmarking and implementation of strategies that will enhance the long‑term reliability and asset efficiency of our assets.

• Perform periodical analytical study of corrosion assessment findings to overcome challenging inspection programs
• Research and Deploy emerging Technologies related to corrosion mitigation and non‑metallic deployment.
• Act as expert corrosion and asset integrity management resource for corrosion risk assessment and mitigation.
• Develop Pipeline Integrity Plans (PIP) aligned with the organization integrity performance objectives, assigning responsibilities, and time frames for the responsible stakeholder.
• Develop annual condition assessment schedule in line with the PIP recommendations.
• Review PIP trends and initiate detailed engineering studies accordingly (e.g. increase in internal corrosion features, encroachment to pipelines, low quality of ILI reports, failure investigations, etc.)
• Facilitate the investigation of corrosion failure and deploy lesson learned from the root cause analysis to the system to avoid reoccurrence.
• Perform periodical analytical study of assessment findings to overcome challenging inspection programs.
• Evaluate the QA findings and perform periodical analytical study of assessment findings to overcome challenging inspection programs.
• Provide consultation on specialized area related to corrosion control.
• Perform integrity and corrosion analysis studies to assess current challenges.
• Monitor the corrosion parameters such PH, O2, bacteria, residual of biocide chemical, and take corrective actions accordingly.
• Review the inspection data and make corrosion control recommendations/reports accordingly.
• Review laboratory data/parameters and issue the recommendations accordingly.
• Apply corrosion monitoring system/program to ensure the integrity & reliability of the plant assets.

• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in corrosion Engineering from a recognized and approved program. An advanced degree is preferred.
• Have 15 years‑experience in corrosion engineering, including at least three years as senior corrosion engineer.
• Must have a comprehensive knowledge of corrosion principles, including electrochemistry, material properties, corrosion mechanisms, and corrosion prevention methods.
• Should also have sufficient background in various laboratory and field‑testing techniques used to assess corrosion behavior, such as accelerated corrosion testing, electrochemical corrosion monitoring, and non‑destructive testing methods.
• Familiarity with corrosion prevention and control strategies, including material selection, protective coatings, cathodic protection, corrosion inhibitors, and corrosion monitoring systems is a requirement.
• Understanding of industry standards and codes related to corrosion, such as National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International standards, and API (American Petroleum Institute) standards.
• Practical experience through entry‑level positions or corrosion engineering roles in industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, chemical processing, marine, or infrastructure.
• Demonstrate effective analytical and communication skills to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, prepare technical reports, and present findings to stakeholders.
• Awareness about the latest advancements in corrosion science and technologies through professional development…
