Senior Pipe Stress Engineer

Profile Senior Pipe Stress Engineer

Do you have experience solving complex piping challenges where pressure, temperature, and movement all come together? Can you turn advanced pipe stress calculations into practical solutions that keep installations safe and reliable?

-

We are looking for a Senior Pipe Stress Engineer who can analyse and design complex piping systems to ensure they remain safe, reliable, and structurally sound under pressure, temperature changes, and dynamic loads.

-

Tasks & responsibilities:

• Perform static and dynamic pipe stress calculations for complex piping systems.
• Analyse piping systems exposed to high and low pressure, temperature variations, thermal expansion, vibrations, and dynamic loads.
• Use tools such as Caesar II to carry out detailed pipe stress analyses.
• Translate complex calculation results into practical and feasible engineering solutions.
• Analyse critical scenarios such as water hammer, thermal expansion, and vibration issues.
• Design, assess, and calculate pipe supports in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
• Check piping systems and supports against relevant international standards, such as ASME B31.3 and EN 13480.
• Prepare clear technical reports in English and present findings to clients, project teams, and inspection authorities when required.
• Work closely with engineers, lead engineers, and project managers in mono- and multidisciplinary teams.
• Contribute to safe, reliable, and long-term performance of installations across offshore, energy, chemical, industrial, food, and heavy industry projects.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• At least 10 years of experience with pipe stress calculations, bot static and dynamic.
• Extensive experience with Caesar II for pipe stress analysis.
• Experience preparing pipe stress specifications and/or Basis of Design documents.
• Experience developing and calculating pipe classes, for example using PCC.
• Knowledge of water hammer calculations.
• Experience with pipe support strength calculations.
• Strong understanding of international piping standards, such as ASME B31.3 and EN 13480.
• Ability to translate complex technical analyses into clear, practical recommendations.
• Strong communication skills in English, both verbally and in writing.
• A pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset and the ability to work independently as well as in multidisciplinary teams.
