Establish and maintain corrosion monitoring programs including coupons, probes, fluid sampling, inspection data review, and condition assessments.
Evaluate integrity data and communicate recommendations to operations, engineering, and leadership teams.
Support capital projects and operational initiatives through material selection, corrosion reviews, and integrity risk assessments.
Partner with Operations, Reliability, Facility Integrity, Process Engineering, and project teams to ensure corrosion risks are considered throughout the asset lifecycle.
Be knowledgeable in corrosion engineering, damage mechanisms, industry standards, and integrity management practices.
Develop engineering recommendations to reduce corrosion threat levels, improve equipment reliability, reduce operating costs, and extend asset life.
Review and approve engineering studies, corrosion assessments, inspection recommendations, and mitigation plans.
Evaluate industry best practices and emerging technologies for application across ONEOK assets.
Provide mentorship, coaching, and technical development opportunities for engineers and integrity personnel.
Support development of performance metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to evaluate corrosion program effectiveness.
Monitor and trend integrity performance indicators and recommend corrective actions when required.
Develop and implement processes that improve data quality, program effectiveness, and operational efficiency.
Identify opportunities to standardize corrosion and integrity practices across business segments.
