Pipe Stress Analysis & Support Design Documentation: Prepare complete documentation of the pipe stress analysis and support design for process piping and utility piping systems in support of nuclear and non-nuclear projects by the following:
Perform piping flexibility analysis (static and dynamic) for critical piping systems
Perform analysis for sustained, thermal and multiple operating cases, occasional (winds, seismic, relief, water hammer, etc.)
Locate and identify pipe supports on isometrics along with type of supports (e.g. spring hangers, snubbers, struts, etc.)
Coordinate selection, location, and support loads with Civil/Structure group to assist in design/selection of supports
Resolve high pipe loads on equipment nozzles & high secondary stresses in piping
Evaluate local stresses via code cases
Review and sign-off piping isometrics considering flexibility and supporting
Vessel Design & Calculations: Prepare vessel design calculations in accordance with applicable standards
Engineering Documentation & Compliance: Prepare error-free engineering documents for commercial nuclear facilities (e.g., drawings, sketches, instructions, inputs, calculations, analyses, evaluations) according to and bounded by industry codes, standards, and regulations to support client engineering needs. Generate engineering-related documents in accordance with client, ENERCON, and regulatory requirements, adhering to client and ENERCON procedures, processes, specifications, and other company or project directives
Industry Knowledge & Standards: Maintain up-to-date and relevant knowledge of industry codes and standards, safety culture, and design techniques suitable to the nuclear industry
Design Reviews & Collaboration: Provide peer and technical reviews of engineering designs and engineering-related documentation produced by others. Build strong relationships with clients through professional interactions and communications, and through the development of quality engineering products. Consult with other disciplines to ensure designs are compatible with and have considered all disciplinary requirements
Qualifications
