Job Description

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 on-line, in order to ensure the updated specifications are available timely and avoid any changes by the contractor.
• Evaluate the welding technology or process proposed by the contractor to assess the benefits of using such superior alternatives.
• Preparation of corrosion monitoring planning & scheduling and coordinate with Plant Availability Division to forecast requirements like scaffoldings, insulation removal, crane to have accessibility to carryout various inspection activities.
• Provides appropriate testing techniques and reports inspection observations, abnormalities and recommendations attached with relevant documents like check lists, detail assembly drawings, sketches etc. indicating specific defects to the concerned Departments.
• Execute routine day-to-day corrosion monitoring of Plant equipment during operating conditions as per monthly & yearly inspection schedule.
• Carries out failure analysis and its prevention, prepare material specification for plant equipment and facilities, Prepare WPS (welding procedure specification), WPQ (welder qualifications) as per section IX of ASME). Prepare quality plan for the project / modification / turn around jobs.
• Study the corrosion problem of different Plant installations cooling water system, piping and Analyze the corrosion trend & recommend suitable solution to overcome the problem.
• Execute Cathodic Protection system monitoring for underground pipelines, metallic / concrete structures and troubleshooting.
