Senior Piping Stress Engineer - Nuclear

Piping Engineering & Analysis Synopsis

The Piping Engineering & Analysis discipline performs evaluations for piping systems in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.7, and other applicable codes.

• Vibration monitoring and analysis to evaluate system operational vibrations associated with plant modifications and operating events, and to provide vibration prevention and mitigation solutions and designs.
• Evaluation of hydraulic transients, piping systems for thermal stratification effects, operability evaluations, and qualification of piping for hydrodynamic loads.
• Pipe rupture evaluations, pipe wall thinning due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) or microbiological induced corrosion (MIC), and pipe flaw evaluations.

Provides senior‑level technical support by performing a variety of engineering tasks such as preparing and reviewing calculations and designs of a complex nature. Is responsible for the preparation and completion of discipline engineering designs that are responsive to project needs and monitors the work of assigned staff to ensure requirements are met.

• Prepares and reviews complex calculations.
• Reviews simple system/structural designs and prepares complex system designs.
• Prepares documented design input for drawing production (P&IDs and Master Diagrams), performs engineering review of drawings.
• Prepares and reviews equipment and material specifications.
• Prepares bid evaluations for systems and larger components; supports economic evaluations and solicits data from vendors.
• Prepares and reviews simple reports/studies.
• Develops single‑discipline/project budgets, schedules, and work plans; monitors own work for budget and schedule compliance.
• Provides single‑discipline input to simple proposals.
• Uses effective written and oral communication to convey information to project teams and managers; presents technical information clearly in all deliverables.
• Prepares reports and deliverables that meet client requirements; communicates clearly at client meetings and summarizes meeting notes promptly.

Requires in‑office work three days per week.
