- Remote will be considered for candidates with sufficient experience
As a valued member of our engineering team, you'll take on meaningful challenges that directly impact the safety, reliability, and performance of our clients' facilities. You'll support the analysis, design, and evaluation of critical structures and components while working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure compliance with applicable safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements. Your responsibilities will also include evaluating proposed modifications, preparing technical reports, calculations, and specifications, and communicating findings to project teams, clients, and other key stakeholders.
Every task you tackle contributes directly to the safety, reliability, and innovation of our client facilities. You will also need to:
- Pipe Stress Analysis & Pipe Support Design: Prepare complete documentation of the pipe stress analysis and support design for process piping and utility piping systems in support of nuclear and non-nuclear projects by:
- Perform piping flexibility analysis (static and dynamic) for critical piping systems
- Perform analysis for sustained, thermal, and multiple operating cases, occasional (winds, seismic, relief, water hammer, etc.)
- Resolve high pipe loads on equipment nozzles & high secondary stresses in piping
- Evaluate local stresses via applicable code cases
- Locate and identify pipe supports on isometrics along with support types (e.g., spring hangers, snubbers, struts, etc.)
- Coordinate selection, location, and support loads with Civil/Structural group
- Review and sign-off piping isometrics considering flexibility and supporting
- Engineering Documentation & Analysis: Prepare error-free engineering documents for commercial nuclear facilities (e.g., drawings, sketches, instructions, inputs, calculations, analyses, evaluations) according to and bounded by industry codes, standards and regulations to support client engineering needs. Generate engineering-related documents in accordance with client, ENERCON, and regulatory requirements, adhering to client and ENERCON procedures, processes, specifications and other company or project directives

:
Maintain up-to-date relevant knowledge of industry codes, standards, safety culture, and design techniques suitable to the nuclear industry - Quality Assurance & Peer Review
:
Provide peer and technical reviews of engineering designs and engineering-related documentation produced by others - Client Relations & Interdisciplinary Collaboration
:
Build strong relationships with clients through professional interactions and communications, and through the development of quality engineering products. Consult with other disciplines to ensure design compatibility across engineering functions
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering from an accredited university
- 10+ years of experience in piping design, pipe stress analysis, and nuclear power design engineering
- Prior experience supporting power uprates strongly preferred
- Experience with AutoPIPE, PIPESTRESS, ME101 or similar tools
- Advanced knowledge of applicable mechanical codes and standards
- Ability to…
