• Review corrosion aspects of the design and execution of major projects for the JIC from the concept stage through completion
• Expert/proficient in rectifiers, anodes, insulators and other related equipment to eliminate corrosive behaviour
• Knowledge of measuring electrical activity in the soil and the pipelines/water tanks/marine exposed structures, using voltmeters, amp meters, resistivity meters and other related equipment
• Assists supervisor with planning, organizing, directing and coordinating the monitoring Corrosion Control Program of Jubail
• Establishes and implements maintenance and monitoring programs for the analysis and correction of corrosion failures
• Considerable knowledge of construction and EH&S procedures and Standards
• Considerable knowledge of NACE and API standards
• Considerable knowledge of electricity, i.e., current, voltage and resistance; electrical instrumentation, and test equipment
