Piping Stress Engineer

Education and Experience Requirements:

Requires bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 10-20 years of experience.

Job Summary:

In this role, you will plan, develop, coordinate and review plant design and piping work on large projects having specialized requirements. You will optimize facility layout based on diagrams, client needs, current technology, and operational and maintenance requirements. Your technical input will ensure configuration compliance, procurement requirements are met, and complex issues are resolved. 

Major Responsibilities:

• In-depth knowledge of design codes and standards applicable for Pipe Stress Analysis design work
• Identify different stress packages through review of P&IDs / Line Designation tables.
• Full hands-on knowledge of stress analysis software's like Caesar II, Autopipe, Rohr2 etc.
• Performs piping flexibility analysis (static and dynamic) for critical piping systems during preliminary design and detailed design phase of Project
• Perform analysis for sustained, thermal and multiple operating cases, occasional (viz winds, seismic, relief, hammer etc.)
• Perform pipe stress analysis for different equipment like Steam turbine, Compressors, Centrifugal Pumps, tanks, exchangers, heaters, columns, Air coolers etc.
• Resolve high pipe loads on equipment nozzles
• Resolve high secondary stresses in piping
• Selection of spring hangers, snubbers, struts for pipe supports
• Preparation and interpretation/review of stress calculations of relatively complex nature in high seismic zones.
• Evaluation of local stresses via code cases like N318, N392, and WRC107/297.
