Consultant/Developer - Polymer/Steel

Contract: Technical Development & Validation Engineer – Polymer-Lined Steel Pipe (Energy Sector)

Remote | EU / UK | Fixed-fee, approx. 3–4 weeks

A European technology company is commissioning an experienced engineer to develop and validate a technical package for a polymer-lined steel pipe technology used in demanding energy applications.

You’ll build it from established engineering practice and public-domain sources, then stress-test it honestly: does it hold up, and where are the gaps?

What you’ll do

▸ Develop the technical package: process specification, design basis and material selection

▸ Define the QA approach and a test plan for qualification

▸ Validate the package against relevant standards and engineering practice

▸ Flag risks, weak points and what must be tested before field use

▸ Deliver a signed validation report

Desk-based: no lab work, no site visits.

What we need from you

▸ 10+ years in lined pipe, non-metallic pipe or polymer piping systems

▸ Solid understanding of thermoplastic behaviour under temperature, pressure and chemically aggressive service

▸ Working knowledge of relevant API, ISO and NACE standards

▸ Able to produce clear, structured technical documentation

▸ Nice to have: technology qualification experience (e.g. DNV-RP-A203)

How it works

• Details shared under NDA after initial screening. Commissioned work: all deliverables and IP belong to the company. Freelance or via your own company.
