Hey everyone,
Hope you're all having a good week.
I've got a niche occupation that doesn't perfectly match a single NOC code. I've selected NOC 21301 as my primary occupation and would really appreciate some feedback as to whether you agree with my choice or not.
Here are my duties:
• Supported Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) programs by assessing material degradation and corrosion mechanisms affecting various pressure systems including piping, static and rotating equipment.
• Conducted failure analyses to recommend preventive and corrective actions.
• Reviewed and analyzed non-destructive testing (NDT) reports to calculate corrosion rates, assess mechanical integrity, and evaluate risks, probabilities, and consequences of equipment failure.
• Developed and updated corrosion loops, assigned credible damage mechanisms to various process fluids, and implemented inspection strategies to mitigate risks of loss of primary containment (LOPC).
• Planned and recommended inspection frequencies, methods, and scopes for static and rotating equipment in accordance with client and industry standards (ASME, API, etc).
• Prepared and presented inspection summaries and recommendations to client to support decision-making on maintenance/inspection priorities.
Here are the duties from the NOC and the summary statement:
Mechanical engineers research, design and develop machinery and systems for heating, ventilating and air conditioning, power generation, transportation, processing and manufacturing. They also perform duties related to the evaluation, installation, operation and maintenance of mechanical systems. They are employed by consulting firms, by power-generating utilities and in a wide range of manufacturing, processing and transportation industries, or they may be self-employed.
Conduct research into the feasibility, design, operation and performance of mechanisms, components and systems
Plan and manage projects, and prepare material, cost and timing estimates, reports and design specifications for machinery and systems
Design power plants, machines, components, tools, fixtures and equipment
Analyze dynamics and vibrations of mechanical systems and structures
Supervise and inspect the installation, modification and commissioning of mechanical systems at construction sites or in industrial facilities
Develop maintenance standards, schedules and programs and provide guidance to industrial maintenance crews
Investigate mechanical failures or unexpected maintenance problems
Prepare contract documents and evaluate tenders for industrial construction or maintenance
Supervise technicians, technologists and other engineers and review and approve designs, calculations and cost estimates.
ChatGPT recommended Metallurgical and corrosion engineers as an alternative though I don't think its a good fit.
I've also included a small table on my letter of explanation showing the alignment between my duties and the respective NOC:
