1.4 The Functions and Roles of a Corrosion Engineer

Work associated with corrosion assessment, mitigation, and
management encompasses a wide range of technical disciplines,
from expert support and review, through laboratory studies and
failure investigations, and from corrosion assessment to corrosion
management reviews and risk-based management implementation.
The corrosion engineer may be expected to provide a specialist
corrosion consultancy, support, and management function for a
larger group. The tasks of a corrosion engineer may also include
product research and development work for customer applications,
being responsible for the development of new products, and
interfacing with customers and suppliers to provide solutions for
technical challenges.
