Stress Analysis Engineer

• Grow skills in assessing piping systems to determine the need for flexibility analysis and whether analysis is necessary per the appropriate ASME B31 code.

• Perform with supervision pipe stress analysis using hand calculations and analytical methods with software to evaluate sustained, pressure, displacement range and occasional loading requirements.

• Perform basic pipe stress analysis and / or pipe wall thickness (pressure and vacuum) calculations.

• Use under supervision and development knowledge of CAESAR II, RISA 3-D, FEA and hand calculations for piping analysis and support/restraint design in a 2D + 3D environment.

• Coordinate and communicate in a 3D environment using AutoCAD, Inventor, Navisworks, Revit etc.

• Review loads on equipment nozzles, recommend piping and/or nozzle reconfiguration to qualify both.

• Support the development of a series of (standard) installation details to anchor/guide pipes to accommodate the loading conditions determined during analysis to include details for shaft risers, wall mounted systems, systems supported by moment frames, vibration isolated systems, etc.

• Perform under supervision structural analysis hand-calcs in support of drawing reviews and/or verification of design requirements

• Create system and sub-system analysis models of equipment and MEP system distribution framed assemblies and vibration isolation needs

• Reviewing requirements for materials, structure systems & subsystems

• Develop innovative solutions and elaborating on design concepts

• Evaluate completed designs with other technical groups, and make necessary modifications to achieve the desired design

• Review vendor documentation within the Piping discipline and from other disciplines for compliance with project requirements, and actively seek discrepancy resolution

• Understanding, clarifying and controlling project scopes of work .

• Assisting in developing quotes and cost analysis for projects.

• Develop a thorough understanding of relevant building codes and standards as they relate to pipe design, thermal stresses and seismic loading to include (but not limited to): ASME B31 codes and standards, ASME BPVC, NUREG, MSS standards, International Building Code (IBC), ASCE 7, and ASHRAE.

• Engineering statics, solid mechanics, fastening design, anchor/beam calculations.

• Acquire basic working knowledge of Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID)

• Organize and prioritize a variety of projects and multiple tasks in an effective and timely manner, set priorities, and meet deadlines

• 2D/3D CAD detailing of supports on MEP systems in 2D/3D AutoCAD drawings/models.

• Interface with 3rd party reviewing entities including but not limited to project design teams, engineers, and local authorities.

• Answering engineering questions and providing information to clients on the phone, in person, or in writing.

• Support communication between project team , clients, and vendors.

• Conduct life-cycle cost analyses to compare initial costs of project alternatives to operating costs.

• Assist senior Engineers to recommend a level of system performance based on analysis of customer needs and preferences.

• Contribute to the desired safety and work culture of the organization.

• Contribute to the desired safety and work culture of the organization.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Structural Engineering required

• 2+ years of basic knowledge of construction equipment and techniques, drawings and specifications, building materials and required standards applicable to discipline

• 2+ years experience with Pipe Stress Analysis, proficiency in CAESAR II (AutoPipe), or NozzlePro
