Function: Asset Integrity, Materials, and Corrosion Management
Reports to: Asset Integrity Manager / Lead Materials and Corrosion Engineer
Supervises: Corrosion technicians and specialist contractors, as assigned
Role Purpose
Identify, assess, and control corrosion and materials-degradation threats across pipelines, tanks, structures, and process facilities, providing technically sound inspection, mitigation, monitoring, and repair recommendations throughout the asset life cycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain corrosion management strategies, corrosion loops, degradation-mechanism reviews, inspection scopes, and monitoring plans.
- Assess internal and external corrosion threats using design data, process conditions, inspection history, materials, coating condition, and operating context.
- Specify and review corrosion-control measures including material selection, corrosion allowance, coatings/linings, cathodic protection, inhibitors, and environmental controls.
- Interpret UT thickness data, corrosion maps, NDT results, coupons/probes, coating surveys, and inspection findings to determine trends and remaining integrity concerns.
- Support risk-based inspection, fitness-for-service screening, repair prioritisation, and integrity operating window reviews.
- Prepare technical scopes and acceptance criteria for blasting, coating, lining, structural repair, pipeline remediation, and corrosion-monitoring work.
- Review contractor procedures, qualifications, materials, inspection plans, and reports; coordinate third-party testing and specialist studies.
- Investigate corrosion failures and quality incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and recommend sustainable corrective actions.
- Maintain auditable corrosion records and communicate risks, recommended actions, cost/schedule implications, and residual risk to stakeholders.
Qualifications and Experience
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Materials/Metallurgical, Corrosion, Chemical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
- Typically 8 or more years of corrosion, materials, coating, inspection, or asset-integrity experience in oil and gas or process facilities.
- Practical experience with corrosion mapping, coating/lining systems, pipeline/tank/facility degradation, and inspection-data interpretation.
- Ability to prepare clear technical assessments, inspection scopes, repair recommendations, and risk-based priorities.
- Experience coordinating vendors, laboratories, inspection contractors, and operations teams.
Preferred Certifications and Standards Knowledge
- AMPP/NACE corrosion or coating certification is strongly preferred.
- API 570/653, cathodic-protection, RBI, or fitness-for-service training is advantageous.
- Working knowledge of NACE/AMPP SP0169, SP0178, SP0188; SSPC surface-preparation standards; API and relevant ASME requirements.
Core Competencies
- Corrosion threat assessment
- Materials and coating selection
- Inspection and monitoring data interpretation
- Risk-based integrity decision-making
- Failure investigation and technical reporting
Key Performance Measures
- Corrosion monitoring and inspection plan completed to schedule
- High-risk degradation threats identified and actioned promptly
