Staff Engineer, Materials and Corrosion

Houston, TX

 

 

Venture Global LNG (“Venture Global”) is a long-term, low-cost provider of American-produced liquefied natural gas. The company’s two Louisiana-based export projects service the global demand for North American natural gas and support the long-term development of clean and reliable North American energy supplies. Using reliable, proven technology in an innovative plant design configuration, Venture Global’s modular, mid-scale plant design will replace traditional designs as it allows for the same efficiency and operational reliability at significantly lower capital cost.

We are seeking a Staff Engineer, Materials and Corrosion to join our team at our Houston office, Texas.

  • This role reports to the Lead Asset Integrity Engineer, Static Equipment and will be responsible for assisting the Operations team in developing and progressing Materials and Corrosion Engineering tasks and work scopes.
  • This role is responsible for assessing appropriate materials for industrial applications, analyzing potential corrosion risks, and developing strategies to mitigate corrosion on equipment and structures, working across design, construction, and operational phases to ensure asset integrity and safety by optimizing material selection and corrosion control methods. Key duties include conducting failure analysis, reviewing corrosion protection systems design (like coatings and cathodic protection), providing technical advice on material compatibility, and staying updated on advancements in materials science and corrosion engineering practices.
  • The incumbent shall also be intimately familiar with associated specifications, codes, regulations and standards (API, ASME, ANSI, ISO and NACE/AMPP).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Material Selection: Evaluate and recommend suitable materials for various applications based on environmental conditions, operational requirements, and corrosion resistance needs. 
  • Corrosion Analysis: Conduct corrosion assessments to identify corrosion mechanisms, rate of degradation, and potential failure points on existing equipment. 
  • Corrosion Mitigation Strategies: Design and implement corrosion control methods like coatings, cathodic protection systems, and chemical treatments to minimize corrosion damage. 
  • Failure Analysis: Investigate material failures, identify root causes of corrosion issues, and recommend corrective actions. 
  • Technical Support: Provide technical guidance on material selection, corrosion management, and inspection procedures to project teams and maintenance personnel.
  • Risk Assessment: Evaluate corrosion risks and incorporate them into asset integrity management plans. 
  • Data Analysis: Interpret inspection data, corrosion monitoring results, and other relevant information to inform decision-making. 
  • Compliance Management: Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements related to material selection and corrosion control. 

Required skills and qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong understanding of corrosion mechanisms, including electrochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and crevice corrosion. 
  • Expertise in material properties and selection criteria. 
  • Knowledge of corrosion control techniques like coatings, cathodic protection, and anodic protection. 
  • Experience with data analysis, inspection methods (Nondestructive testing), and failure analysis. 
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills. 
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
  • A Professional Engineering License would be a plus.
  • Applicable certification/Qualifications (e.g. NACE, AMPP, ASNT, CWI).

Experience: 

  • A minimum of fifteen (15) years’ experience working in a similar senior engineering capacity, with Mechanical and process plant equipment in an industrial setting.
  • Oil and Gas experience is required, with preference in LNG applications, however, petrochemical, NGL, cryogenic natural gas processing, or other hydrocarbon processing experience may be acceptable.

Venture Global LNG is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status or any other basis covered by appropriate law.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
