PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
March 2015 – Till Date Engineering Automation Technology Limited

March 2013 – Feb 2015

Senior Corrosion & Coating Engineer

- Project focal point for coating, field joint coating (FJC) and insulation specification, testing, qualification
and selection (PQT, PPT, Production). Undertake responsibility for production of deliverables, which may
include engineering support to the Drawing Office, design calculations, specifications, qualification,
testing, procedures, analyses, progress reports, bid evaluations, study reports and various 3rd-party
deliverables.

- Cathodic protection design for pipelines, bundle carrier pipes, manifold towheads, spools, FLETS,
structures and associated piping. I have been responsible for cathodic protection design, design report
writing, reviewing and approving junior engineers’ cathodic protection design report. Project
management and interfacing with cathodic protection equipment manufacturer.

- Supporting tendering department and SCM by preparing technical scopes of work for various
packages, producing cost, time, resource (CTR) and providing technical support to the tendering team. I
have provided tendering support on reel lay, S-lay and J-lay pipelines projects proffering solutions on
how best to make use of the few work stations available on the vessels (Seven Borealis, Seven Navica)
offshore and achieve desired cycle times. These are also influenced by efficient field joint coating
selection strategy, identification of viable sub-contractors to apply the FJC offshore and management of
offshore field joint coating equipment.

- Managing pipeline fabrication at spoolbase and supervising coating inspectors and sub-contractor
employees. Successfully completed two reeled projects as a Lead Engineer responsible for corrosion,
coating, field joint coating and cathodic protection utilizing the Leith Scotland and Vigra Norway
spoolbase respectively. Completed the first reeled pipeline at Leith Scotland spoolbase after it was
reopened.

coating plant operators. This responsibility is a critical part of my tasks in my role and there is
requirement for continuous improvement, general cost saving skills and de-briefing suppliers in general.
This also affords me opportunity to share project experiences with our key suppliers. I have managed
Tata Steel, Socotherm Italy, Socotherm Argentina, Impalloy UK and MCPS UK helping deliver projects in
a safe, cost effective and efficient manner.

- Procurement support, tender review & clarifications. Conducting design verifications on third party
documents to ensure compliance to standard engineering practice, applicable international standards
and project specifications.

- Managing spoolbase, pipe mill, coating plant, fabrication site and anode vendor MOC (management of
change) and TQ (technical qualifications) to ensure all actions and agreed changes are captured and
implemented. This also includes requirement for all stakeholders to be part of any decision making
resulting to onsite changes.
