Purpose of Role

The role is expected to assess the production chemistry risks to and to provide recommendations with cost effective mitigation and solutions.

Provide deep technical engineering expertise and judgement to maintain regulatory compliance, manage production chemistry inventory, recommend optimization and actively manage data to support and performance manage production chemistry programs. 

The role is required to assist the PDUs on a day-to-day basis to ensure consistency in the corrosion engineering program. The senior production chemistry engineer is required to assist in the development of junior engineers.  

Key Accountabilities include:

• Define the regional production chemistry strategy, develop the annual plan and manage the associated budget.

• Assessment and effective monitoring that barriers are working as designed, including quality management of supply, analysis of root causes of failures, definition of cost-effective mitigations and implementing resolutions.

• Define the functional requirements of a chemical injection system, from supply through to injection point in operating system. Requirements to include specification of chemical injection rates or full asset lifecycle (steady state and transient condition); frequency of injection; required injection points and cleanliness (filtering.

• Implementation of specific Chemical Management programs to meet objectives defined by international codes, company standards and industry best practices; including chemical utilization and optimization across the operations.

• Provide technical support and actively manage data to support and performance manage production chemistry programs. Work with CMS provider in the preparation of PC monthly reports, technical reports and input into key meetings.

• Identify technology plans and implement to deliver better business efficiency opportunities. 

• Train and provide mentorship for the Lab Technicians and CMS site chemist on sampling and testing on routine and non- routine activities.

• Actively participate in project gatekeeper reviews, risk assessments, HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, incident investigations, work prioritization, project feasibility and scope reviews.

• Contract Accountable Manager for chemical managed services and laboratory services contracts.

Required Qualifications & Essential Experience

• Degree qualified in Chemistry or relevant science/engineering discipline such as corrosion science or chemical engineering.

• >12yrs experience within the Corrosion engineering field. Experience in dealing with mature assets will be valuable.

• Regional operating experience in several relevant production chemistry or engineering roles or as a contractor.

• Professional accreditation, such as Professional Engineer or Chartered Engineer

• TBOSEIT (Offshore and onshore visits will be required for this role.)

Desired Skill Sets Desired Behaviours  

• Deep technical expertise in several areas related to the discipline including chemical selection, optimization, laboratory management, analytical techniques, threat assessment, corrosion mechanisms, corrosion management, well treatments.

• Leadership in managing cross-functional teams and 3rd party contractors to solve complex challenges, optimize costs, and drive continuous improvement. Excels in informed decision-making, performance ownership, and developing team capabilities through coaching and collaboration.

• Ability to work with operating site leads to collate program of work and deliver an accurate bottom-up budget based on a combination of historical performance, norms and cost optimization initiatives. Manages and optimizes annual budget, as BROs, for chemical activities.
