Job description
The Material and Corrosion Engineer role at Snamprogetti Saudi Arabia Co. Ltd., part of Saipem’s Asset Based Services business line, is dedicated to ensuring asset integrity through expert corrosion and materials engineering support for non-drilling assets. The position focuses on damage mechanism analysis, corrosion assessment, corrosion rate calculations, and materials selection for equipment, valves, and piping, considering both internal and external corrosion threats. The role includes creating and developing Material Selection Diagrams (MSD), Corrosion Loop Diagrams (CLD), corrosion control strategies, Integrity Operating Windows (IOW), and comprehensive Corrosion Management Programs (CMP). The engineer supports Maintenance and Inspection teams within the Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) assessment process and provides technical input for Root Cause Analysis (RCA), failure analysis, and Management of Change (MOC). Responsibilities include ensuring compliance with QA/QC protocols, ISO standards, and enforcing Health, Safety, Environmental (HSE) and Quality Management procedures. The role requires strong knowledge of corrosion and materials standards such as ISO 15156 / NACE MR0175, API 571, API 580, and familiarity with Saudi Aramco standards including SAES-A-133, SAES-A-134, SAES-L-132, SAEP-88, and SAMSS, as well as the use of engineering and data tools to support asset integrity and energy transition objectives.
