Immediate Start Integrity Engineer

Job Title: Senior Integrity Engineer - Corrosion

Location: Bangalore KA

Type: Full Time

Job Requirements

Job Outline:

The role involves providing expert corrosion and materials engineering support for oil and gas projects, both onshore and offshore. The candidate will focus on corrosion control, risk-based inspection (RBI), chemical injection programs, damage mechanism assessment, and ensuring the integrity and longevity of fixed equipment. The individual will work closely with other teams remotely to optimize corrosion and inspection processes, conduct fitness-for-service assessments, and support life extension studies.

This role involves guiding corrosion control and mitigation strategies while supporting integrity programs for offshore and onshore gas facilities. It demands expertise in corrosion loop development, damage mechanisms, and standards like API 571 and 584. Proficiency in industry codes (API, ASME, NACE) and experience in Oil & Gas, Refinery, Petrochemical, and Chemical sectors is appreciated.

Key Job Accountabilities:

- Material Selection & Corrosion Control: Experience in developing key deliverables like corrosion control philosophies and integrity operating windows.
- Data Accuracy in Damage Mechanisms: Ability to ensure data accuracy for damage mechanisms through collaboration with inspection datasets and corrosion monitoring.
- Corrosion Mitigation Techniques: Expertise in corrosion mitigation based on fluid chemistry, corrosion inhibitors, metallurgy, operating environments, and degradation mechanisms.
- Corrosion Management Audits: Involvement in auditing corrosion management strategies and collaborating with vendors to optimize chemical injection and monitoring programs.
- Technology Implementation: Ability to identify, evaluate, and implement new technologies for improved corrosion control and integrity management.
- Contract Management: Skills in preparing and maintaining short- and long-term corrosion mitigation contracts.
- Chemical Treatment Optimization: Expertise in monitoring chemical treatment programs and recommending cost-effective optimizations.
- Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA): Participation in RCFA, incident investigations, and safety reviews (HAZOPs, HAZIDs, risk assessments).
- Technical Recommendations: Proven ability to generate technical recommendations and support their implementation until successful completion.
- Application of Onshore/Offshore Practices: Experience in applying recognized engineering practices for corrosion mitigation in both onshore and offshore environments.
- Interpersonal & Leadership Skills: Strong interpersonal skills for working across disciplines, providing technical advice, and mentoring emerging engineers.
- Team Building & Recruitment: Ability to drive the recruitment and training of skilled resources, ensuring competency building within the team.

Work Experience

- Degree: Engineering degree in Metallurgy, Chemical, or Petrochemical Engineering.
- Experience: 6 TO 12 years in oil & gas industry (onshore/offshore/ pipeline projects and design) Refining and petrochemicals experience is a bonus.
- Industry Knowledge:
- Oil & Gas upstream and downstream operations.
- Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodologies.
- Chemical Injection Programs and fluid chemistry.
- Engineering assessment of damage mechanisms.
- Inspection tasks, procedures, and optimization for fixed equipment.
- Fitness-for-service and life extension studies based on corrosion damage.
- Preparation of repair scopes.
- Standards & Codes: Familiarity with relevant codes and standards.
- Software: Proficiency with Pestra, Credo, Meridium, etc.
- Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Interpersonal Skills: Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
- Office Tools: Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
