Piping Stress Engineer

Piping Stress Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform piping stress analysis using CAESAR II (or equivalent software) based on project specifications and applicable codes (ASME B31.1, B31.3, etc.).
• Evaluate loads on piping systems, including thermal expansion, weight, pressure, seismic, wind, and other dynamic forces.
• Develop pipe support specifications, select support types, and work with structural teams for support design.
• Review and interpret piping isometrics, general arrangement drawings, and P&IDs.
• Prepare stress analysis reports, calculations, and provide input to design and material selection.
• Coordinate with piping designers, process, civil/structural, and mechanical teams to ensure design compatibility.
• Address vendor data review related to piping and equipment connections.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical support during procurement and construction.
• Ensure all stress-related issues are resolved and closed within project timelines.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 5–8 years of experience in piping stress analysis in the oil & gas, petrochemical, power, or similar industry.
• Proficient in CAESAR II and familiarity with other tools such as AutoPIPE, Rohr2, or FEPIPE is a plus.
• Strong understanding of international piping codes and standards (ASME, ANSI, API, etc.).
• Good knowledge of piping materials, components, flexibility analysis, and layout practices.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.

Preferred:

• Experience with EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects.
• Familiarity with 3D modeling software (e.g., SmartPlant, PDMS, E3D) for interface review.
• Knowledge of dynamic analysis, fatigue analysis, or FEA (Finite Element Analysis) is an added advantage.
