The purpose of this position is to assist in ensuring the protection of assets including transmission pipeline. This role will involve conducting detailed inspections at Corrosion Control Transmission (CCT) stations, test points, and pipeline construction projects. Additionally, this position will be responsible for accurately documenting and reporting inspection findings to the test surveys.

Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Ensure that CCT stations are working as per requirement and undertake rectification/ maintenance where required.
Maintain the maintenance record.
2. Ensure a comprehensive Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) program that can effectively manage their assets, minimize downtime and repair costs, and extend the life of their assets.
3. Ensure optimum efficiency of CC operations to prevent pipeline corrosion by reviewing the condition of coating and wrapping.
4. Determine corrosion related problems in the field through organizing surveys including bi-annual pipe-to-soil potential surveys, direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) surveys of new and old Transmission lines, close interval potential survey (CIPS), fortnightly inspection of Cathodic Protection Stations, periodic technical audit of existing CP System in Transmission, pipeline integrity assessment for external corrosion and CP instruments and renovation of Ground-bed.
  Coordinate activities with other service providers and/or vendors, where necessary.
5. Implement health assessment of the existing coating system is undertaken as part of the pipeline integrity assessment program.
Develop and arrange coating rehabilitation plan in view of the findings and recommendations of the pipeline integrity assessment. 
6. Develop corrosion monitoring and cathodic protection systems through material specifications, calculations and graphic and statistical analysis, power assessment and evaluation of survey data, confer with departments responsible for contracts, environmental compliance and right-of-way procurement.
Arrange Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for newly laid transmission pipelines.
7. Perform timely renewal of Ground Beds activities of different sections based upon its conditions and renewal requirements.
 
8. Monitor various field tests including Pipeline Current Mapping (PCM), Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS), structure potential, Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG), soil resistivity, current requirements, etc.
and plan for recoating of pipelines against the survey results.
9. Diagnose and rectify system difficulties during survey operations.
Conduct interference testing and coordinate interactions with vendors and customers.
10. Prepare reports on survey and design.
Prepare charts and tables for the management.
11. Assist in designing and planning regarding CC for new and existing pipelines.
 
12. Arrange installation of sacrificial anode system for pipeline protection against corrosion.
Conduct post installation survey.
13. Assist in implementation of policies, procedures and rules regarding corrosion control of assets and undertake required corrosion control work for transmission pipelines and systems.
14. Perform the pipeline rectification activities in response to the findings of the field surveys and monitor CC Level of the pipelines to ascertain its effectiveness in accordance with cathodic protection criteria.
 
15. Prepare survey reports and findings on coating deterioration.
Revalidate the Pipeline Integrity Assessment and identify the vulnerable sections.
16. Develop reports regarding corrosion monitoring received from the assigned areas and accordingly guide action.
17. Arrange procurement of necessary material and equipment on a timely basis.
18. Assist in under construction pipeline projects and monitor and check the status of coating at the time of handing over of the new project.
19. Ensure all corrosion control activities comply with relevant regulations, codes, and standards, such as NACE standards, and OGRA regulations.
20. Provide training and development for employees involved in corrosion control to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their duties effectively.
21. Identify and assess risks under their management/ownership.
22. Develop and implement risk response strategies for the risks under their management.
23. Monitor risks and response strategies under their management.
24. Ensure the accuracy and timeliness of information provided for risk reporting.
25. Undertake any other task assigned by senior management.
