We are seeking a competent and technically sound Materials & Metallurgy Engineer with a mid-level background in fabrication, welding metallurgy, and materials testing for power plant projects. The role involves ensuring proper material selection, verifying compliance with ASME/ASTM/API standards, evaluating welding procedures, and supporting the quality assurance process across fabrication and repair activities. You will collaborate closely with engineering, QA/QC, procurement, and third-party labs to maintain material integrity in critical systems.
Review and approve material test certificates (MTCs) for pipes, plates, forgings, and welding consumables.
Conduct positive material identification (PMI) and ensure material traceability in shop and site environments.
Ensure conformance of materials with ASME Section II, ASTM, and project specifications.
Evaluate and support development of WPS/PQRs in accordance with ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1.
Assess weld metallurgy, including HAZ behavior, hardness profiles, and microstructure.
Monitor and interpret post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) procedures and results.
Coordinate mechanical testing (tensile, impact, hardness, bend) and NDT with QA/QC and labs.
Support root cause analysis (RCA) for material failures, weld cracking, or corrosion-related issues.
Review macro/micro examination reports, grain structure, and inclusion assessments.
Maintain updated logs of heat numbers, batch tracking, and weld material certificates.
Prepare metallurgical evaluation reports and contribute to final QA documentation packages.
Interface with third-party inspectors and clients during audits and inspections.
Material compliance and welding metallurgy
Welding procedure qualification (WPS/PQR) and metallurgical analysis
Mechanical testing, PMI, and heat treatment validation
Cross-functional collaboration in QA/QC, engineering, and procurement
Support for failure investigations and RCA documentation
Education:
Bachelor’s Degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science, or Mechanical Engineering with specialization in metallurgy
Experience:
3–6 years of relevant experience in fabrication and materials engineering within power plants or heavy industries
Skills:
Strong knowledge of ASME Section II, V, VIII, IX, AWS D1.1, and relevant ASTM/API standards
Experience in metallographic evaluation and interpretation of welding zones
Familiarity with NDT coordination and post-weld inspections
Proficient in documentation, materials traceability, and quality systems
Good communication skills and ability to coordinate across departments
