25-061.B - Corrosion Tech

Essential Job Responsibilities:

External Corrosion Prevention & Control:

• Install, operate, and maintain cathodic protection (CP) systems including impressed current and sacrificial anode systems.
• Conduct CP surveys such as Close Interval Surveys (CIS), Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG), and Alternating Current Voltage Gradient (ACVG).
• Collecting all regulatory data associated with cathodic protection including annual pipe to soil potentials, bi-monthly rectifier readings, and bond readings. This data is to be documented in the American Innovations PCS-CPDM database program.
• Perform coating inspections and evaluations to ensure protective coatings are intact and effective.
• Monitor and test pipeline potentials to ensure compliance with NACE, DOT, and company standards.
• Troubleshoot and repair CP system failures, rectifiers, test stations, and ground beds.
• Support pipeline integrity program during ILI dig projects by completing data collection of cathodic protection pipe to soil measurements, soil resistivity, and soil pH measurements at each site.
• Collaborate with Integrity Engineer to understand external corrosion anomalies/issues identified through ILI tool inspections and implement preventative and mitigative measures (PMMs) applicable to external corrosion.

Internal Corrosion Prevention & Control:

• Conduct internal corrosion direct assessments (ICDA) and risk evaluations.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret pipeline fluid and gas samples for corrosive elements (e.g., CO, HS, bacteria, water content, chlorides).
• Implement and monitor the use of corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and other chemical treatment programs.
• Work with operations and engineering teams to optimize internal corrosion monitoring using coupons, probes, and other sensors.

Regulatory Compliance & Reporting:

• Ensure corrosion control practices align with PHMSA, DOT 49 CFR Part 192/195, NACE, API, and company standards.
• Maintain and update records of corrosion monitoring, CP systems, and inspection reports.
• Prepare and submit compliance documentation, corrective action reports, and mitigation plans.
• Participate in internal and external audits, investigations, and regulatory inspections.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Proficiency in the use and application of the following software:
  • Microsoft Office, Excel, Word, Outlook
• Must respond to, and address, callouts and emergencies.
• Ability to complete work assignments with minimal supervision in an acceptable time frame.
• Ability to operate and maintain chemical injection and pressure access equipment.
• Ability to effectively organize, plan, prioritize, document, and complete work independently.
• Ability to successfully work in team environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication.

Other Job Responsibilities:

• Adheres to the company's values - integrity, ownership, urgency, alignment and innovation.
• Supports company vision and mission.
• Adheres to established work schedule, attendance standards and is punctual to work and meetings.
• Other duties as assigned by management.

Qualifications:

• Has a minimum of 8 years of experience carrying out corrosion control techniques on liquid pipelines.
• Meets criteria to apply for one of the following:
  • NACE Cathodic Protection Tester (CP1) Certification
  • NACE Cathodic Protection Technician (CP2) Certification
• Experience with PCS-CPDM.
• Working knowledge of AC and DC electrical systems, corrosion related portions of NEC, and NACE standards.
• Knowledge of company policies and DOT regulations.
• Knowledge and experience with safe handling practices of liquid products.
  

Education Requirements:

• Graduation from a high school or GED equivalent or any equivalent combination of education and experience demonstrating sufficient knowledge, ability and skill to handle the duties and responsibilities of the position.
