Engineering Analyst

Overview

An Engineering Analyst provides technical support to project managers and senior engineering staff on a wide range of engineering analysis and condition assessment projects involving power plant steam piping, headers, tubing, turbines, and other critical mechanical equipment. The role supports multidisciplinary project teams and contributes to evaluating potential failure mechanisms, identifying high-risk locations, assessing remaining component life, prioritizing inspection activities, and determining the current condition of in-service equipment.

The role supports condition assessment projects from scoping through execution and reporting, with opportunities to participate in and support field assessments at customer facilities. Over time, the Engineering Analyst may assume increasing technical responsibility and project ownership, including leading defined technical tasks and supporting overall project management efforts. This position offers strong technical development and growth opportunities while contributing to high quality engineering solutions to ensure safe, reliable, and long-term operation of critical energy and industrial infrastructure.

• Assist with engineering analysis and condition assessment projects involving power plant and industrial mechanical components
• Create representative solid models and drawings of equipment using Solid Works or other software
• Perform thermal and structural finite element analyses using commercial software such as ANSYS and Abaqus
• Support ASME Code calculations, fitness-for-service evaluations, and remaining life assessments
• Work with engineering and inspection data to evaluate component condition, damage mechanisms, and inspection priorities
• Assist with field assessments at customer sites, including supporting nondestructive examination activities such as metallurgical replication, hardness testing, and advanced ultrasonic methods
• Prepare and contribute to technical reports, calculations, and client presentations documenting findings and recommendations
• Support project execution activities, including data review, documentation, and coordination with engineering and inspection teams
• Assist with internal engineering initiatives focused on process improvement, methodology development, automation, and technical quality enhancements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline
• 0–3 years of engineering experience (internship, co-op, or professional experience preferred)
• Interest in mechanical systems, stress analysis, and solving complex technical problems
• Coursework or exposure to finite element analysis, fracture mechanics, fatigue, or heat transfer preferred
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel; experience with databases, programming, or automation tools is a plus
• Familiarity with ANSYS, Abaqus, and/or Solid Works preferred
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• High attention to detail and commitment to technical accuracy and quality
• Ability to communicate clearly in both written and verbal formats
• Willingness to learn, take initiative, and support a variety of engineering tasks
• Expected to pursue Professional Engineer (PE) licensure

• Approximately 25% travel annually, primarily during scheduled plant outage periods
• Field work at power generation and industrial facilities, with exposure to heat, cold, noise, dust, and humidity
• May require working at moderate heights and in confined spaces
• Must be able to meet site access requirements, including respirator fit testing, physicals, and drug screening
