Materials and Corrosion Engineering Leader is responsible lead the MCE team in developing and implementing corrosion management strategies and related technical requirements, aligned to industry best practice and NSRP procedures.   He/she will provide support to day to day operations, projects and to Turnarounds

Typical responsibilities would include the following:

• Develop MCE discipline improvement plan for management review and approval (key work processes, procedures, resource planning, KPI’s etc).
• Clear work planning and efficient delegation of work withing the MCE team.
• Identification and assessment of refinery damage mechanisms in accordance with industry best practice and NSRP procedures
• Conduct material selection as required for new or existing assets.
• Lead failure investigations related to loss of containment to identify root causes and then implement preventative measures identified,  
• Develop and implement integrity management programs related to Materials and Corrosion engineering eg. IOW’s, RBI.
• Write and implement technical procedures, standards, work instructions etc. related to the materials and corrosion engineering discipline.
• Review operational, process, leak and corrosion trends in a proactive manner in order to develop corrosion mitigation strategies for NSRP.
• Writing technical reports to summarize engineering recommendations.  
• Provide technical recommendations for corrosion, cathodic protection and coatings.
• Resolve problems related to materials performance and corrosion management of refinery equipment with a strong emphasis on cross disciplinary interaction.
• Review inspection and integrity management programs for completeness, accuracy and appropriateness. Implement improvements as required.
• Contribute to work plans for events such as planned  and unplanned shutdowns.
• Guide, direct and motivate less experienced engineers and staff.
