Senior Materials / Corrosion Engineer

About the Role

Worley is an international professional services organization serving the energy, chemicals, and resources sectors. The company works with clients to deliver projects and create value across the full life of their assets, while supporting the transition toward more sustainable energy sources and meeting current energy, chemicals, and resources needs.

Core Responsibilities

• Select suitable materials for offshore and onshore facilities, taking into account corrosive service, operating temperature, and pressure.
• Plan and apply corrosion control approaches such as cathodic protection, protective coatings, and corrosion inhibitors.
• Advise on the compatibility of materials and coatings with the fluids and gases handled by the system.
• Develop asset integrity programs, including risk-based inspection (RBI), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and related integrity practices.
• Investigate material-related failures through root cause analysis (RCA) and suggest corrective actions.
• Review fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments and provide recommendations for aging equipment and assets.
• Work in line with international standards and codes, including NACE, ASME, API, ISO, and ASTM.
• Stay current with regional requirements and client-specific technical standards.
• Support FEED, detailed engineering, and EPC workstreams on material and corrosion matters.
• Coordinate with Process, Mechanical, and Piping teams to embed corrosion protection measures into design outputs.
• Examine and approve material requisitions, technical bid assessments, and vendor submissions.

Qualifications and Experience

A full-time bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline is required. MME (Ministry of Municipality and Environment) engineering accreditation is mandatory; candidates without it must be prepared to obtain it during the probation period. Professional certification in NACE, such as CIP Level 3, CP Technologist, or Corrosion Specialist, or an equivalent credential, is strongly preferred. Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status, or active pursuit of it, will be considered an advantage.

The role calls for experience in materials and corrosion engineering with substantial exposure to offshore and onshore oil and gas projects. Hands-on involvement in FEED, detailed design, and EPC phases is important. Familiarity with LNG, FPSO, and subsea systems will be beneficial. Candidates should have strong knowledge of material behavior, corrosion mechanisms, and mitigation methods, along with experience using corrosion modeling software such as ECE, NORSOK, or similar tools. Experience in cathodic protection design, including impressed current and sacrificial anode systems, is also expected. A solid understanding of welding and fabrication processes and their effect on material integrity is important.

Tools and Technical Systems

Proficiency in engineering analysis tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar software for material stress analysis is required. Familiarity with RBI and integrity management platforms, including DNV Synergi and API RBI, is preferred.

Equal Opportunity and Workplace Culture

The organization is committed to a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace where people feel they belong and are heard. Equal employment opportunities are provided to qualified applicants and employees regardless of protected characteristics under applicable law. The culture emphasizes belonging, connection, innovation, and support for workforce reskilling and transition toward low-carbon energy infrastructure and technology. Candidates are encouraged to explore long-term growth and contribute to sustainable change.
