Cathodic Protection Specialist — Saipem (Cabo Delgado)

The essential: Cathodic Protection Specialist for the Mozambique LNG project, based at Afungi camp in Cabo Delgado. 12-month contract, renewable. Applications open until December 31, 2026, on the official GPS job board of Saipem's recruitment partner, Global Projects Services AG.

About Saipem and the project

Saipem operates in the engineering and construction of energy and infrastructure projects worldwide. The group employs 30,000 people across more than 130 nationalities, with a presence in over 50 countries, placing the Net Zero energy transition at the heart of its work.

Recruitment for these positions is managed by Global Projects Services AG, the group's official hiring partner. The GPS job board is the only legitimate channel for applications; Saipem itself warns on its website that in legitimate selection processes, candidates never pay any fees.

The Mozambique LNG project is located in the Rovuma Basin, in northern Mozambique. The indicated work location is Afungi camp: this is where the design and execution of the project's cathodic protection systems take place, ranging from onshore structures and pipelines to offshore elements.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an engineer with genuine expertise in cathodic protection — from system design to field installation and monitoring — backed by the certification that proves this expertise (detailed in the requirements section). The position sits at the intersection between the office and the base: you will design integrated systems while organizing the teams that build, commission, and monitor them.

This is not desk-bound work. There are technical decisions with deadlines, suppliers, and subcontractors at stake, as well as the responsibility of maintaining the integrity of structures and pipelines throughout the project lifecycle. If you enjoy solving complex corrosion problems, maintaining productivity without compromising safety rules, and working on an international oil & gas project, this is a direct fit for you.

What you will do on a daily basis

The mission of the role is to design integrated cathodic protection systems, together with the related monitoring, covering onshore and offshore structures and pipelines, and to organize the work of team members assigned to field operations. The vacancy defines five work fronts, all in strict compliance with Quality (QA/QC) and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) requirements:

• Research and development: study new cathodic protection techniques, materials, and approaches to address complex corrosion scenarios, and improve or replace existing methods to minimize cost and schedule impacts;
• Feasibility studies: conduct studies proposing appropriate cathodic protection systems tailored to the project's corrosion challenges;
• Tendering phase: review received documentation, prepare system input data, select the suitable solution (sacrificial anodes or ICCP), prepare technical qualifications and specifications for materials, installation, and commissioning, and technically evaluate vendor proposals;
• Execution phase: detailed design of systems and monitoring, review of subcontractor documentation, technical audits of their production and anode assembly facilities, oversight of material pre-qualification testing, support for installation operations as required, and resolution of technical issues in the field;
• Vendor management: support supplier selection and the execution of technical audits at their facilities.

Across all work fronts, you will operate within your area of responsibility, ensuring compliance with specifications and approved procedures, operational productivity, and personnel safety.

What Saipem offers

• 12-month contract, with possibility of extension according to business needs;
• Benefits: comprehensive package including health insurance;
• Continuous training through the group's "One Saipem Way" model: skills development, career progression, and solving complex challenges through collaborative work;
• Exposure to a major international LNG project with a strong offshore component in the Rovuma Basin;
• A culture that promotes diversity as a driver of innovation, with a continuous focus on personal safety and environmental preservation.

Salary: Not published; to be agreed upon with the Global Projects Services AG recruitment team.
