• Knowledge of principles and considerations to layout piping systems from tubing up to large bore piping systems while taking into consideration piping stress analysis and supports.
• Prepare detailed design of Piping supports, pipe sizing, and piping and equipment layout with review in (S3D, Smart Plant Review).
• Learn and prepare engineering computations and analyses using applicable software (e.g., PipeStress, CeaserII, AutoPipe, MATLAB, MathCAD, ANSYS Mechanical (APDL preferred or Workbench, and LS DYNA. etc.).
• Modelling complex piping and support arrangements using finite element techniques.
• Perform pipe stress analysis of piping systems (nuclear class or non-nuclear class) in accordance with ASME Section III, Div.1, and/or ASME B31.1 code requirements.
• Performing thermal, fatigue, seismic, linear, and non-linear analyses in accordance with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Div.1 code requirements.
• Prepare Design Change Package (DCP) and Design Change Notice (DCN) packages following customer procedures.
• Prepare technical documents, such as: engineering drawings (including GA, ISO, pipe supports, flow diagrams), change paper markups, calculations, design/analysis reports, design requirements, design manuals, bill of materials, design specifications, technical specifications, data sheets, system classification lists, code classifications, commissioning specifications, etc.
• Prepare TSSA registration packages for pressure boundary modifications.
• Perform site visits to client and supplier shops as required.
• Perform field walk-downs during different design phases as required.
• Support field construction and execution activities, such as: field changes, design revisions, commissioning, AFS, closeout, etc.
• Provide prompt response and engineering resolutions on any critical engineering related matters.
• Complete the assigned scopes or tasks within given budget and schedule, and in excellent quality.

About you
