Kindly take note that this role will be placed in South Korea.
Core Responsibilities
- Conducts pipe stress analysis of piping systems as per ASME Codes using Caesar II software.
- Responsible for the design of all piping support components.
- Reviews client technical requirements for piping stress engineering and establishes the Stress Design Basis/Philosophy for various load cases, specifications, standards, and guidelines for stress engineering execution.
- Prepares stress critical line lists as per the critical line selection criteria.
- Performs static analysis using CAESAR II for load cases such as dead weight, sustained loads, thermal expansion/contraction, wave acceleration, hog/sag deflections, occasional and environmental loads, blast load, fatigue, slug, transportation, module lift, and vibration analysis (FIV and AIV).
- Coordinates the design of exclusive pipe supports as needed.
- Evaluates nozzle loads utilizing WRC 107/297 capabilities in Caesar II.
- Performs FEA evaluations of stresses at nozzles or for determining user-calculated SIFs using NozzlePro, FE/Pipe, or other FEA software.
- Provides magnitude of hydrostatic and operating loads acting on guides and supports.
- Participates in reviews of PFDs, P&IDs, piping ISOs, and structural drawings.
- Produces deliverables including specifications, design calculations, progress reports, correspondence, procedures, bid evaluations, Engineering Change Notices, study reports, and various third-party submissions.
- Complements piping layout from a pipe-stress engineering perspective.
- Has a thorough understanding of relevant codes and standards including ASME, API, ABS, and other guidelines.
- Possesses a basic understanding of process requirements and operations.
- Applies expert knowledge to develop innovative solutions for technically challenging projects.
- Assists in tender preparation and technical proposal submissions.
- Travels occasionally to client and vendor premises for technical discussions, HAZOPs, project reviews, or to subcontractor fabrication yards.
Requirements
