Corrosion Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Corrosion Engineer to join our Khursaniyah Gas Plant.

KGP (Khursaniyah Gas Plant) current processing capacity is 3 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD) of associated and non-associated gas. The plant products are NGL, Sales Gas and Liquid sulfur.

Your primary role is to implement, support and continually improve KGP inspection corrosion management programs as well as to provide consolatory advice in materials ensuring cost effective material selection and corrosion mitigation strategies, which will ensure mechanical integrity of the materials, applied on all KGP assets including equipment and piping through their life cycle.

Key Responsibilities

As the successful candidate you will be required to perform the following: 

•    Implement corrosion management program and on-stream monitoring 
•    Conduct risk-based inspection based on API-580 methodology.
•    Review and approve recommend solutions for coating failures and cathodic protection.
•    Participate in HAZOP review sessions and ensure that all issues are addressed.
•    Manage water treatment program and recommend solutions to overcome challenges.
•    Review design packages and validate materials selection based on current code and standards.
•    Validate corrosion controls, corrosion loops and corrosion damage mechanisms frequently.
•    Assess feed composition changes and approve recommend solution to assure assets integrity.
•    Develop scope and description of technology items, and lead field implementation.
•    Develop and transfer knowledge about use of coating, CP, corrosion inhibitors and other corrosion controls and best practices.
•    Extract data and draw conclusions from Corrosion Monitoring Technologies.
•    Troubleshoot corrosion problems and address their root causes.
•    Review design packages for plant changes and modifications to address corrosion and material challenges.
•    Explore new materials development and deploy advanced material application to address plant corrosion challenges.
•    Perform the regular review and update on the plants units Corrosion Control Documents (CCD’s) reflecting the any change that resulted from plant changes either in plant operation or facility modifications. 
•    Conduct the evergreening RBI studies of the plant unit, including revising the inventory grouping limits and reflect that on related drawings, tracking generated RBI recommendations and coordinate their implementations.
•     Review existing inspection programs reports to monitor the corrosion activities in the plant. 
 

Minimum Requirements:

• As the successful candidate you will hold a Bachelor or Master degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or Corrosion Science from a recognized and approved program.

• You will have 10 years of experience in Gas processing in Oil/Gas Industry, material science and metrology, different NDT technology and their applications and knowledge in engineering aspect of welding.

• You must have working experience in running asset integrity programs in petroleum or petrochemical operating facility.

• Capability to write clear technical reports to address any technical issue. The candidate shall also have excellent presentation skills to share knowledge with others and present business cases to managements to take decisions.
