Inspection Engineer

Help shape the future of asset integrity and safety

At Nynäshamn Refinery, we’re looking for an Inspection Engineer who wants to play a key role in protecting our assets, challenging assumptions, and driving how inspection and integrity work are carried out- today and in the future.

About The Role

As an Inspection Engineer, you will be part of the Inspection team within Maintenance Technical Services department at Nynas. The inspection department is the refinery´s key experts in asset integrity with a clear and crucial mission: Ensure our static equipment is safe, compliant, and reliable for long‑term operation.

In practice, your work will involve:

• Own and develop the in‑service inspection program for static equipment
• Take ownership of the planning of the inspections activities and coordinate with external partners.
• Perform field inspections and non-destructive testing (NDT) activities, evaluate inspection results, and translate findings into integrity and maintenance recommendations.
• Combine materials, corrosion, and damage mechanism knowledge with real inspection data
   

This is far from a routine desk job. The work is varied, technically challenging, and closely linked to real operational decisions. Your days will include a mix of engineering analysis, coordination, field inspections, and problem‑solving. You ensure inspection results truly drive better decisions and safer operations.

The position is based at our refinery in Nynäshamn, approximately 45 minutes south of Stockholm. You will join a small, knowledgeable team and work closely with maintenance, operations, reliability and project functions.

Key Responsibilities

• Define, plan, and execute the inspection program for static equipment (pressure vessels, piping, and tanks, etc.) 
• Develop our inspection processes toward a more risk‑based, data‑driven approach 
• Analyse corrosion loops, degradation mechanisms, and inspection findings to assess equipment integrity. 
• Coordinate and technically supervise third‑party inspection companies 
• Participate in manufacturing, installation, and incoming inspections of new or modified equipment 
• Support failure investigations and root cause analyses. 
• Contribute inspection and materials expertise to projects, plant changes, and standards development 
   

About You

You are comfortable taking technical ownership, working independently and collaborating across disciplines. You communicate clearly with contractors, engineers and operations and are naturally curious, structured and not afraid to ask “why”.

To be relevant for this position, we believe you have a good knowledge within inspections and asset integrity.  

Requirements

• Have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or similar
• Minimum 5 years of experience in industrial inspections, asset integrity, or with static equipment. 
• Good knowledge of damage mechanisms, solid strength, fracture mechanics, static equipment design, relevant codes/standards, welding and non-destructive testing. 
• Fluency in Swedish and English 
• Willingness to relocate to Stockholm/Nynäshamn area.
• Experience from refinery/petrochemical environments is a strong plus.
   

What We Offer
At Nynas, you will have a role with real impact on safety, availability and long-term plant performance. You can expect a strong mix of field work and engineering analysis and get exposure to projects, shutdowns, and long‑term asset strategy. You will have a high technical ownership with freedom to influence how work is done. You will be given opportunities to deepen your expertise in advanced inspection technologies and programs.
