1.0 PURPOSE & SCOPE Lead Engineer (Materials & Corrosion) shall assist in execution of materials & corrosion engineering discipline activities for a Project / Enquiry as assigned by the Principal Engineer / Head of Discipline (HOD) as applicable . Shall generally be responsible to perform the following main tasks: During Enquiry stage, reviews Project\'s scope of work pertaining to material selection and corrosion engineering, related specifications including Vendor packages and specialized studies to be performed by a third party in close coordination with Project Engineering Manager (PEM) and raises relevant clarifications to COMPANY for resolutions. Prepares FEED Endorsement / Qualifications list, to confirm the scope for cost estimates. Also provide input to project risk assessment list to highlight the risk to NPCC due to ambiguity in the scope of work related to his discipline. Executes material selection and corrosion control design activities. Provides technical support to other Engineering disciplines in the areas related toMaterials and Corrosion. Interfaces closely with other engineering disciplines, Project Engineering Manager (PEM), Clients, Consultants, Vendors etc., as required and provide flexible and responsive approach to resolve issues related to materials and corrosion. 2.0 DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
