Main Purpose:

Lead the corrosion and inspection management program to ensure the integrity, reliability, and protected operation of static assets. Develop and implement corrosion monitoring, inspection, and Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) strategies to maximize asset life, ensure regulatory and statutory compliance, minimize operational risks, and support safe, reliable, and cost-effective plant operations.

Job Accountabilities (duties and responsibilities).

Corrosion Management
- Develop and implement the annual Corrosion Monitoring and Inspection Plan aligned with business and asset integrity objectives.
- Monitor corrosion mechanisms, corrosion rates, and degradation trends through systematic data analysis.
- Compare inspection results with baseline data to identify deterioration trends and recommend corrective or preventive actions.
- Develop mitigation strategies for high-risk corrosion areas and monitor the effectiveness of corrosion control measures.
- Optimize corrosion inhibitor (CI) injection programs / robust paint systems based on monitoring data and operational conditions.




- Support fitness-for-service assessments and remaining life evaluations of static equipment.

Inspection & Asset Integrity
- Establish and maintain baseline thickness measurements for all critical static equipment and piping.
- Plan, coordinate, and execute periodic inspections in accordance with RBI methodology and applicable inspection procedures.
- Lead inspection activities during plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and major maintenance campaigns.
- Coordinate and oversee Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) activities including RT, UT, PT, and MT.
- Ensure equipment remains fit for service through timely inspection, assessment, and repair recommendations.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
- Develop, implement, and continuously improve RBI programs in accordance with API 580/581 methodologies.
- Prioritize inspection activities based on risk assessment to optimize inspection resources and improve asset
