Job description
The Materials and Corrosion Lead Engineer at Subsea7βs Global Projects Centre (GPC) provides specialized materials and corrosion engineering expertise for large-scale subsea projects. The role covers all project phases, supporting flexibles, rigid flowlines, PIP, subsea structures, offshore/onshore fabrication, and installation. The engineer is responsible for producing material specifications for pipes, forgings, and bends, performing CO2 and H2S corrosion calculations, selecting appropriate materials for specific environments and project constraints, and interfacing with clients, vendors, and suppliers to resolve technical issues. The position also involves supporting procurement and quality departments in supplier qualification, participating in R&D activities on materials and corrosion, and ensuring effective communication across multi-disciplinary teams. The role requires familiarity with welding processes, NDT procedures, metallurgical and mechanical properties of materials, recognized industry codes and standards, and the ability to manage interfaces across multiple projects in a multicultural environment. The engineer contributes to feasibility studies, compatibility assessments, and design reports, ensuring integrity, reliability, and optimal performance of subsea infrastructure while maintaining a risk-focused and analytical approach to decision-making.
Required skills
Key responsibilities
- Produce and review material specifications for pipes, forgings, and bends used in subsea and offshore/onshore projects
- Review and clarify supplier offers for metallic materials and components to ensure compliance with project requirements
- Perform CO2 corrosion, H2S corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking calculations to support material selection and integrity
- Select appropriate metallic materials based on corrosive environments, mechanical properties, and project constraints
- Participate in meetings with clients, vendors, and suppliers, and act as the technical interface for resolving materials and corrosion issues
- Support quality assurance and supply chain management departments in supplier qualification and technical compliance
- Participate in R&D activities to advance knowledge in materials and corrosion for subsea and offshore applications
- Ensure effective communication and coordination with clients, project teams, and internal departments throughout the project lifecycle

- 10+ years of experience in oil and gas, particularly in materials and corrosion engineering for subsea or offshore projects
- Bachelorβs degree in Materials Science or Engineering with specialization in materials and corrosion
- Strong understanding of metallurgical and mechanical properties of metallic materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys
- Experience supporting procurement of line pipe, induction bends, and forgings, and reviewing subcontractor procedures and documentation
- Proficiency in corrosion mechanisms and calculations (CO2, H2S, SCC), material selection, and compatibility/feasibility design reports
- Familiarity with industry codes and standards relevant to materials and welding (API 5L, DNV OS-F101, NORSOK, ASTM, NACE)
- Basic to good understanding of welding processes, welding qualifications, and NDT procedures (UT, MPI, DPI, RT)
- Excellent communication skills for internal and external stakeholders
- Analytical, risk-focused, and capable of decision-making in complex projects
- Ability to manage interfaces across multiple projects and functions in a multicultural environment
