Senior Piping Stress Analyst Engineer

This position requires an experienced individual who is self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision, plans and executes the engineering activities assigned by the Technical Lead and/or Technical Manager, resolves routine and complex technical issues, and seeks guidance primarily for "first-of-a-kind", high-risk, interdisciplinary or very complex matters. The candidate shall be able to independently deliver most of the assigned work, while knowing when to seek specialized help from subject matter expert.

The qualified individual will be responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

• Perform pipe stress evaluation of piping systems (nuclear class or non-nuclear class) in accordance with ASME Section III, Div.
  1, and/or ASME B31.1/B31.3 code requirements, including thermal, fatigue, seismic, linear and non-linear analyses.
• Prepare engineering computations and analyses using applicable software (e.g., Pipe Stress, Auto Pipe, Cesar II, MathCAD, ANSYS and LS-DYNA, etc.).
• Model complex piping and support arrangements using finite element techniques.
• Review of technical documents and drawings (e.g. equipment General Arrangement drawings, nozzle loads, equipment layout drawings, isometrics, pipe supports, flow diagrams and P&), calculations, design/analysis reports, design requirements, bill of materials, design specifications, technical specifications, data sheets, etc.
• Review 3D piping model and equipment layout.
• Prepare technical documents, such as calculations, design/analysis reports, design requirements, piping stress design basis reports, piping design specifications, technical specifications, data sheets, etc.
• Support preparing TSSA CRN registration packages for pressure boundary systems.
• Function as technical interface with client, suppliers, inter-discipline engineering teams, construction partners and project management groups.
• Perform site visits to client and supplier shops as required. Support field construction and execution activities, as needed (site visits are required).
• Perform engineering work following AtkinsRéalis/Candu Energy QA programs, and applicable codes, standards, and regulation requirements.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior/intermediate engineers.
• Handle complex or "first-of-a-kind" problems with limited direction, and recognize technical risks, limitations, and when escalation is necessary.
• Estimate the manhour efforts and provide input to the design plan.

• Engineering Degree in Mechanical from an accredited university or equivalent degree as recognized by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is required.
• Registered or eligible to be registered as a Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario (mandatory requirement).
• Minimum 10 years of related work experience in mechanical engineering within a heavy industrial environment such as power, mining, oil & gas, nuclear etc. (knowledge of nuclear power systems would be an asset).
• Design experience with piping supports for power, mining, oil & gas, etc., plants. (knowledge of nuclear power piping supports design per ASME III, Subsection NF is an asset).
• Experience in piping supports design using Pipe Stress, Auto Pipe, Cesar II, MathCAD, GT STRUDL or other similar software program is an asset.
• Working knowledge of CSA B51, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, ASME Section VIII, ASCE, NBCC, AISC, and other applicable codes, standards or regulatory guides related to process equipment for power, mining, oil & gas, etc. (knowledge of nuclear power plant systems codes and regulations such as CSA N285.0, CSA N289, ASME Sec III would be an asset).
• Must be able to work independently, define result oriented approach, perform or oversee the analysis, and drive conclusion based on technically sound defensible solutions.
• Demonstrate good interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team environment.

• Working knowledge of CSA N285.0, CSA N289, and ASME Section III, and other applicable standards or regulatory guides related to nuclear plant components, pressure boundary equipment, and/or reactor systems is preferable.
• Design engineering experience in nuclear class 1, 2, 3 and 6 piping systems, and its associated supports for Nuclear Power Plants is preferable.
• Eligible to obtain Security Clearances through Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is mandatory (for Candu internal and Client organization).
• May be required to obtain Nuclear Energy Worker (NEW) status, as…
