Engineer, Metallurgy & Corrosion (Corr & Metal Team)

Job description / Role

Job purpose

Plays a pivotal role in ensuring the durability and longevity of materials and structures. Primary responsibility is to select the appropriate materials for specific applications. This involves analyzing the properties of metals and alloys, such as strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. Through rigorous testing and analysis, these engineers determine which materials will perform best under given conditions, thereby optimizing the efficiency and safety of products and structures.

Job specific accountabilities

• Ensure the materials selection in the FEED and EPC phases of the projects to meet the long-term asset integrity standards and the approved quality criteria and specifications.
• Select a new material which meets the business requirement with improved functionality from a range of new materials which can function as substitutes.
• Manage the update of design specifications of new materials which are available to the contractors online, in order to ensure the updated specifications are available timely and avoid any changes by the contractor.
