Description
You will be responsible for providing upstream corrosion and materials engineering expertise to various squads across P&O (Operations, Maintenance & Reliability, Projects Ops, Turnarounds and Subsea) to address corrosion and erosion threats on equipment for which you are the Equipment Class Owner. Your main focus will be to identify and implement pragmatic solutions to manage risk, enhance production efficiency, eliminate defects, and standardize processes, ensuring safe, reliable, and compliant operations. Additionally, you will support corrosion threat assessments for production regions and projects, and collaborate on the development of Corrosion and Materials mitigation programs across IM and other teams. In this role, you will work closely with regional teams to develop performance management dashboards for IM programs and review and endorse corrosion-related metrics. You will collaborate with digital or I&E engineering teams to create corrosion & materials related technology programs, develop use cases for operations and projects, and assist in their deployment within operating regions. It will also be important for you to integrate with associated teams to ensure proper equipment care, including production chemistry, pressure systems integrity, structural & civil engineering, and pipeline engineering. Your responsibilities will also include developing central tools and processes, preparing and updating central guidance documents, workflows, or procedures as needed, and providing corrosion and materials engineering support to incident investigations. You will be expected to record relevant learnings in shared learning systems, incorporate them into local activities, specifications/practices/procedures, and highlight high priority lessons for continuous improvement. On the people and business side, you will be required to demonstrate visible safety leadership in line with bp safety leadership principles, lifesaving rules, and process safety fundamentals to role model desired safety behaviors. Supporting performance management through the implementation, measurement, and analysis of relevant KPIs to drive continuous improvement will also be part of your responsibilities. Additionally, you will play a role in supporting the staff development of junior engineers. To qualify for this position, you must hold a degree in Corrosion or Materials Engineering related field (e.g., chemical engineering, chemistry, mechanical engineering, civil engineering) along with a post-graduate certification in corrosion. Professional accreditation such as Professional Engineer or Chartered Engineer (IOM3, IChemE, Institute of Corrosion) is also required. A minimum of 4+ years of experience working in the field of Corrosion or Materials Engineering in oil and gas production is essential, along with operational corrosion management experience and technical expertise in various areas related to the discipline applied to Operations. Having experience in areas such as materials selection, failure investigation, corrosion mechanisms, oilfield chemical treatments, risk-based assessments and inspections, corrosion monitoring, fabric maintenance, cathodic protection, erosion management, and familiarity with industry standards will be advantageous. Furthermore, the ability to engage with and influence senior leadership on technical matters, demonstrate people leadership and teamwork, and exhibit networking and influencing skills across organizational boundaries are important attributes for this role. Proficiency in English, both written and oral, is a must, and additional experiences or skills in welding, sour service, integrity management in oil and gas projects, and advanced inspection techniques will be beneficial. Joining our team at bp will provide you with opportunities to learn and grow in a diverse and challenging environment. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is respected and treated fairly. With benefits such as an open and inclusive culture, great work-life balance, learning and development opportunities, life and health insurance, medical care package, and more, we strive to create a supportive and enriching workplace for our team members.
