Senior Corrosion Engineer

Description

• Ensures new product designs provide accessibility for inspection for corrosion, and for preservation of specified coatings and coverings.
• Prepare designs for grounding and bonding.
• Develops material test plans to support novel material qualification / certification.
• Provides technical support to assist and guide design and manufacturing engineers with selection of metallic and non-metallic materials and corrosion prevention / preservation methods, including plating, paint, coatings, and cathodic protection.
• Actively participates in project-specific Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and Working Groups (WGs) to ensure corrosion-related requirements and risks are adequately being addressed across teams / groups.
• Participates with Engineering, Operations and Maintenance personnel during the design stage of projects regarding material selection and design to minimize the effects of corrosion.
• Ensuring compliance with the Company design QA procedures and Company Management System.
• Provides technical support to assist engineers and inspectors in activities related to metallurgy, welding, and corrosion control.
• Supports project leadership with identification, quantification, and mitigation of corrosion-related risks.
• Leads postmortem evaluations of failed in-service parts to understand failure mechanisms and root causes. Identifies, evaluates, and proposes short-term corrective and long-term preventative solutions.
• Uses emerging technologies to drive innovative solutions to problems.
• Reviews and approves proposals and engineering conclusions/designs for step-and-touch and corrosion mitigation.
• Reviews progress and evaluates results of work accomplished by self and others.
• Prepares reports and presents results to management and customers.
• Selecting and implementing corrosion-resistant materials for seawater service applications.
• Develops appropriate corrosion prevention, monitoring, and control measures for new or existing designs, and documents into a formal Corrosion Prevention and Control Plan for customer approval.
• Ensures corrosion prevention and control measures are appropriately incorporated into design artifacts, including construction drawings, inspection requirements, procurement specifications, lifecycle maintenance documentation, etc.
• Manages and maintains the corrosion control programs, records and diagrams as required by regulations and sound business practice.
