Piping Stress Engineer

Job Summary:

Piping Stress Engineers

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform piping stress analysis using CAESAR II and other relevant tools in accordance with applicable codes (ASME B31.1, B31.3, API, etc.).
• Review and interpret piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), isometrics, general arrangement drawings, and equipment data sheets.
• Identify critical lines and perform flexibility analysis, considering thermal expansion, seismic, wind, and dynamic loads.
• Provide support in selecting and designing piping supports, expansion loops, and spring hangers.
• Evaluate nozzle loads on rotating and static equipment and coordinate with Mechanical and Civil teams for resolution.
• Prepare stress analysis reports and recommend modifications where necessary.
• Review vendor documents and interface with suppliers on stress-related matters.
• Participate in model reviews and coordinate with 3D designers to ensure stress-related design criteria are implemented.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, industry standards, and best engineering practices.
• Provide technical mentoring to junior engineers and collaborate with global teams.

Key Skills & Competencies:

• Proficiency in

  CAESAR II

  (mandatory), with knowledge of other tools like AutoPIPE or Rohr2 considered an asset.
• Deep understanding of international design codes (ASME B31.3, B31.1, API 610/617, WRC 107/297, etc.).
• Experience with

  stress analysis of critical lines

  , nozzle load calculations, spring supports, and interaction with civil/structural.
• Ability to perform

  lift-off, slug flow, two-phase flow, PSV and relief line analysis

  .
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to interpret client specifications and incorporate stress requirements into design deliverables.
• Familiarity with 3D modeling software like

  CADWorx, SmartPlant 3D (SP3D)

  , or

  E3D

  for integration with piping layouts.

Qualifications:

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 6 to 8 years of relevant piping stress engineering experience in EPC/EPCM projects.
• Prior experience working in oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery, or power projects is preferred.
• Good communication and coordination skills to work in multi-disciplinary teams.

Preferred Experience:

• Global project exposure, working with North American or Middle East client specifications.
• Familiarity with Indian and international regulatory requirements and standards.
• Experience in modularization or brownfield revamp projects is a plus.
