• Prepare engineering calculations and analyses using applicable software such as Pipe Stress, AutoPIPE, CAESAR II, MathCAD, ANSYS, and LS-DYNA.
• Model complex piping systems and support arrangements using finite element analysis techniques.
• Review technical documents and drawings, including:
  • Equipment General Arrangement drawings.
  • Equipment layout drawings.
  • Isometrics.
  • Pipe support drawings.
  • Flow diagrams and P&IDs.
  • Calculations and analysis reports.
  • Design requirements and specifications.
  • Technical specifications and data sheets.
  • Bills of Materials.
• Review 3D piping models and equipment layouts.
• Prepare technical documents, including:
  • Calculations.
  • Design and analysis reports.
  • Design requirements.
  • Piping stress design basis reports.
  • Piping design specifications.
  • Technical specifications.
  • Data sheets.
• Support preparation of TSSA CRN registration packages for pressure boundary systems.
• Perform visits to client facilities and supplier shops as required.
• Support field construction and project execution activities, including site visits when required.
• Perform engineering work in accordance with AtkinsRéalis/Candu Energy quality assurance programs and applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements.
• May be required to obtain Nuclear Energy Worker (NEW) status depending on assignment requirements.
• Travel to client job sites may be required.

• Engineering Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university, or an equivalent degree recognized by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
• Registered as, or eligible to be registered as, a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario (mandatory requirement).
• Qualification within the last five years as a Specialized Professional Engineer to ASME Section III, Division 1, Appendix XXIII is preferred.
• 5-10 years of related Mechanical Engineering experience in heavy industrial sectors such as power generation, mining, oil & gas, nuclear, or similar industries. Knowledge of nuclear power systems is considered an asset.
• Experience designing piping supports for power, mining, oil & gas, or similar facilities. Knowledge of nuclear piping support design to ASME Section III, Subsection NF is considered an asset.
• Experience with Pipe Stress, AutoPIPE, CAESAR II, MathCAD, GT STRUDL, or similar software. Ability to apply engineering principles logically and practically to resolve technical issues.
• Experience with time-history analysis (water hammer, pressure surge, and other transient loads) for piping systems is an asset.
• Experience with buried piping systems and seismic assessments in accordance with Appendix VII of ASME B31.1, ASCE, AWWA M11, or other applicable standards is an asset.
• Experience with stress analysis and support design for steam piping systems in nuclear power plants is an asset.
• Design engineering experience involving Nuclear Class 1, 2, 3, and 6 piping systems and their associated supports is preferred.
