Senior Mechanical Engineer - Nuclear Pipe Stress

Description

• Perform, verify, and direct others to perform piping stress analysis to ensure conformance to ASME Section III, ASME B31.1, and associated ASME Standards, as well as both client and jurisdictional requirements for nuclear pressure piping.
• Initiates contact with other disciplines as needed to identify and coordinate details of the work.
• Preparation and qualification of pipe support designs satisfying all code and project requirements.
• Prepare purchase specifications and administer pipe support purchase order contracts with domestic and international suppliers.
• Detailed stress analysis of metallic piping, evaluating conditions such as: elevated temperature service, piping loads at sensitive equipment such as steam turbines, pumps, compressors/expanders and air-cooled heat exchangers, pulsating service, flow-induced vibration, and transient loads.
• Travel to job sites for walkdowns and hanger inspections for both existing and new-build facilities.
• Expand knowledge in other disciplines and/or functional areas and provide mentoring and training to junior engineers.
• Actively seeks to understand client interests and drivers through normal client contact and through interaction and communication with project leadership.

Requirements

• Intermediate knowledge of ANSYS Mechanical and basic FEA principles.
• Working knowledge of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Sections I, II, and VIII.
• Working knowledge of other disciplines, industry and technology trends, company quality program, principles of construction and constructability practices, and procurement and contract administration.
• Ability to coordinate work between domestic and international offices. Assigns tasks to and coordinates with other internal/external team members on complex projects.
• Working knowledge of other design standards and specifications such as API, ASTM, and AWWA.
• Intermediate knowledge of ASME BPVC Section III, Division 5 (High Temperature Reactors).
• Experience in supervising large project teams for multiple projects.
• Working knowledge of processes and procedures for project controls and estimating.
• Advanced ability to interpret engineering deliverable content as assigned.
• Working knowledge of AutoPIPE stress analysis software.
• Technical depth with ASME BPVC Section III-1 NB (Class 1), NCD (Class 2 & Class 3), and NF (Supports), ASME NQA-1, ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code, as well as using engineering design principles and applicable design guides and standards related to piping design.
• This position would require working in a typical office environment. The position may entail prolonged periods of sitting and computer use, and the professional would ideally be able to maintain focus and attention to detail throughout the workday. The position may also be require physical tasks during site visits, including crouching, grasping, and standing/walking for extended periods of time.
• Minimum 15 years of experience relevant to nuclear pipe stress analysis and piping design.

Benefits

• Hybrid or flexible work options may be offered after the first 90 days of employment based upon manager discretion, job performance and work assignments.
