Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Prepare vessel design calculations in accordance with applicable standards.
• 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.
• Maintain up-to-date and relevant knowledge of industry codes and standards, safety culture, and design techniques suitable to the nuclear industry.
• 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.
