Cathodic Protection Technician

• You have an indispensable, true specialist role: with your measurements and analyses, you extend the lifespan of our steel gas network and ensure a safe and reliable gas network.
• You work closely with mechanics, technicians, and specialists in the region and collaborate with colleagues from other areas during complex malfunctions to find smart, sustainable solutions.
• You monitor the health of our steel gas network.

These are your responsibilities:

• You collect crucial information about the state of our gas network through, among other things, voltage and stray current measurements.
• In the event of damage or deviations, you locate the cause and proceed to repair or have the cathodic protection repaired.
• You carefully report measurement values, findings, and performed activities in our systems and translate these into concrete advice for maintenance or replacement.

Enexis's steel gas pipelines are protected day and night against external influences. Through cathodic protection, we protect these pipelines against corrosion. As a measurement technician, you are responsible for measuring and monitoring this protection. Cathodic protection is measured above ground in millivolts at many different locations in the Brabant West region. If measurement values fall outside the margins, you conduct further investigation: from longer 2-hour or 24-hour measurements to (having) pipelines excavated to determine the cause. In this way, you keep our gas network safe, prevent leaks, and extend the lifespan of our pipelines. You work primarily outdoors, at various locations within our service area, often together with colleagues from your own team and other regions.
