Ereyi Ventures Nigeria Limited is an indigenous Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Logistics (EPCL) contractor providing integrated technical services to the Nigerian oil and gas industry. The company brings a multidisciplinary team of engineering, inspection, and construction professionals to deliver brownfield and greenfield projects across onshore and offshore facilities, with a focus on asset integrity, tank and vessel upgrades, mechanical and instrumentation works, and terminal automation. Leveraging local content expertise alongside international codes and standards (API, ASME, NACE/AMPP, and IEC), Ereyi Ventures is positioned to execute the Automated Crude Oil Storage Tanks Upgrade and Repair Services at an offshore terminal, combining indigenous capacity with the technical rigor required for safety-critical hydrocarbon storage infrastructure.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Reference no: COA-07

Location: Offshore, Delta

Role Objective

Provide independent quality surveillance and acceptance of protective coating and lining work on tanks, structural steel, piping and associated equipment.

Core Roles and

Responsibilities

• Enforce strict QA/QC hold points during surface preparation and coating application, halting work where environmental or substrate conditions fall outside specification.
• Coordinate coating repair scope with the Metallurgist/Materials Engineer where coating failure is linked to underlying corrosion or material defects.
• Conduct environmental monitoring (dew point, relative humidity, substrate temperature) prior to and during coating application to ensure compliance with coating manufacturer datasheets.
• Prepare daily coating inspection reports, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and final coating inspection/handover dossiers.
• Plan, supervise, and inspect surface preparation (abrasive blasting to specified SSPC/NACE/ISO 8501 standards) and coating application on crude oil storage tank shells, roofs, and internals.
• Review and approve coating material submittals, batch certificates, and manufacturer technical data sheets prior to procurement and application.
• Inspect and certify cathodic protection system installation/tie-ins on tank floors as a complementary corrosion control measure.
• Perform and record dry film thickness (DFT), wet film thickness (WFT), holiday/spark testing, and adhesion testing (pull-off tests) on completed coating systems.
• Qualifications and

Preferred Qualifications

• and will be scored significantly higher than Level 2 applicants.
• Minimum four (4) years offshore/marine terminal-specific coating inspection experience, with documented exposure to confined space coating inspection (tank interiors) under a certified confined space entry permit system.
• HND/B.Sc. in Chemical, Materials, Corrosion, or Mechanical Engineering — candidates without a relevant engineering/science background will only be considered if they hold NACE/AMPP Level 3 (Coating Inspector) certification with a minimum of fifteen (15) years hands-on experience.
• Demonstrated, verifiable

Experience

with internal tank lining systems (e.g., epoxy phenolic, glass-flake, novolac systems) for crude service, including confined space application oversight — this must be evidenced through project reference letters, not self-declaration.

Must pass a hands-on practical assessment involving live DFT/holiday testing and coating defect identification during the selection process.

Valid BOSIET/HUET, confined space entry & rescue certification, offshore medical fitness certificate, and full physical capability to enter and inspect tank interiors under permit.

Ten (10) years of hands-on coating inspection

specifically on crude oil storage tanks or marine/offshore structures — general structural steel/pipeline coating

without tank-specific exposure will not fully satisfy this requirement.

Proficiency with the full suite of inspection instrumentation (DFT gauges, holiday detectors up to and beyond 20kV wet-sponge/high-voltage spark testing, pull-off adhesion testers, psychrometers) demonstrated via a practical instrument-use assessment at interview.

Working knowledge of ISO 8501-1 visual standards and SSPC-SP surface preparation standards sufficient to independently adjudicate surface preparation quality disputes on-site without supervisory escalation.

Mandatory

on comparable oil and gas projects. Generic construction

without direct tank, terminal, refinery, process-plant or offshore exposure will not be accepted.

Candidates must be able to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, inspection and test plans, permits, risk assessments and applicable codes, and must produce clear technical reports in English.

Qualifications and professional certifications must be issued by recognised bodies, current where applicable, and independently verifiable. Expired, unverifiable or attendance-only certificates will not satisfy a mandatory requirement.
