Job Description:

The role involves supporting the Lab Manager in managing the day-to-day operations of a 17025 accredited metallurgical laboratory. The key responsibilities include performing metallurgical failure analysis, conducting mechanical and corrosion tests, and coordinating with clients and third-party witnesses. The candidate will be involved in field testing and must ensure compliance with international standards and project specifications.

Core Responsibilities:

• Ensure work compliance to ISO 17025 requirements while performing metallurgical failure analysis on failed metallic (ferrous and non-ferrous) components, generating failure investigation reports with technical findings.
• Carry out mechanical tests for material properties evaluation and weld procedure specification qualification as per various international standards (ASME, API, AWS, and BS). These tests include:
  • Tensile Test: Measures a material's strength by pulling on a specimen until it breaks.
  • Impact Test: Evaluates a material's toughness, especially its resistance to sudden fracture.
  • Nick-Break Test: A simple qualification test for welds to assess weld brittleness.
  • Bend Test: Checks the ductility of a material.
  • Macro Examination: Examines the internal structure of a material by grinding and etching a polished surface.
  • CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement): A fracture toughness test to assess a material's resistance to crack propagation.
• Conduct corrosion tests as per NACE standards and other project specifications to determine the susceptibility of materials to corrosion in various service conditions. Common NACE standards include:
  • NACE TM0177: Evaluates a metal's resistance to sulfide stress cracking in H2S environments.
  • NACE TM0284: Deals with hydrogen-induced cracking in various environments.
• Perform metallographic examinations on various materials to determine grain size, cleanliness, volume percentage of phases, and general microstructure evaluation.
• Coordinate with clients and third-party witnesses regarding testing details.
• Participate in site/field testing.
• Manage and work with technicians to carry out work as per the planning schedule.

Qualifications:

• Education: BE/B.Tech in Metallurgy.
• Experience: At least 2 years as a failure analyst and a total of 5 years of overall experience in the field.
• Skills: Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, excellent report writing skills, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Company Culture:

• Working Hours: 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM
• Working Days: 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday)
• Benefits: Medical + PF

This position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, contributing to the analysis and testing of materials critical to various industries. The ideal candidate should possess strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. If you meet these qualifications and are eager to contribute to the success of our laboratory, we encourage you to apply.
