Corrosion Engineer

A Corrosion Engineer assesses and prevents the degradation of materials, particularly metals, caused by chemical reactions with their environment. You might work across various industries including oil and gas, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Corrosion Engineers analyse existing structures, recommend protective measures, and design solutions to extend the lifespan of equipment and materials. Your work ensures the safety and reliability of structures and machinery by addressing corrosion issues and implementing effective maintenance strategies.

Corrosion Engineers play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of critical infrastructure and equipment. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and proactive, with strong problem-solving skills. Effective communication with other engineers and stakeholders is essential to ensure the implementation of corrosion control strategies and to provide technical guidance.
