Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Cathodic Protection System Expert to support a comprehensive technical audit of pipeline infrastructure within the Oil & Gas sector. The successful candidate will be responsible for assessing the design, installation, operation, testing, and performance of Cathodic Protection (CP) systems to ensure pipeline integrity, corrosion prevention, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset reliability. The role requires extensive experience in corrosion control, pipeline integrity management, and industry best practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct technical audits of Cathodic Protection (CP) systems installed on oil and gas pipeline infrastructure.
• Evaluate the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of impressed current and sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems.
• Review pipeline corrosion control strategies and assess overall pipeline integrity management practices.
• Verify CP system performance through field measurements, testing records, and system monitoring reports.
• Assess transformer rectifiers, anode beds, test stations, bonding systems, insulated joints, and monitoring equipment.
• Review close interval survey (CIS), Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG), Pearson Survey, and other corrosion assessment reports.
• Evaluate coating conditions and identify areas susceptible to external corrosion or coating failure.
• Ensure compliance with applicable standards including NACE, ISO, API, ASME, and relevant industry regulations.
• Identify deficiencies, integrity risks, and recommend corrective actions to improve corrosion protection systems.
• Review engineering drawings, CP design calculations, commissioning reports, maintenance records, and inspection documentation.
• Coordinate with Pipeline, Mechanical, Electrical, SCADA, Integrity, and HSE audit teams during field assessments.
