Piping Stress Engineer 3 - Nuclear

Description

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 codes as applicable to the specific evaluation being performed. The Piping Engineering & Analysis discipline also performs the following specialty topics.

• 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, evaluation of piping systems for thermal stratification effects, operability evaluations, and qualification of piping for hydrodynamic loads.
• Pipe rupture evaluations, evaluation of pipe wall thinning due to flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) or microbiological induced corrosion (MIC), and pipe flaw evaluations.

Position Specific Details

• Prepares complex calculations. Reviews simple calculations.
• Reviews simple system/structural designs.
• Prepares, under supervision, documented design input for drawing production (i.e., P&IDs and Master Diagrams).
• Prepares specifications for most balance of plant equipment.
• Prepares bid evaluations for single components. Prepares calculations to support economic evaluations. Solicits data from vendors.
• Prepares simple reports/studies.
• Provides input to project budgets, schedules, and project work plans. Monitors own work to ensure it is completed within budget and on schedule.
• Uses effective written and oral communication skills to convey information to project team members and managers. Presents written technical information in a clear and concise manner in all deliverables.
• Communicates with vendors via clearly written and complete specifications.
• Applies accepted standards and processes to assigned project tasks.
• Completes work assignments within established schedule.
• May mentor entry-level engineers.

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.
