  using

  CAESAR II

  , evaluating operational stresses from thermal, pressure, vibration, and seismic loads.
• Collaborate closely with design engineers to review, assess, and enhance piping layouts.
• Perform

  pipe flexibility

  and

  nozzle displacement

  calculations to ensure system integrity under varying conditions.
• Identify stress “hotspots” and recommend modifications—routing, supports, or flexibility solutions.
• Produce detailed

  Stress Analysis Reports

  , annotated isometrics,

  Stress‑Critical Line Lists

  , and Piping Load Summaries.
• Coordinate with Civil/Structural teams—providing load data for foundation and support designs.
• Prepare and review datasheets, RFQs/MRs, TBAs, and vendor documents for supports (e.g., spring hangers).
• Participate in

  on-site reviews

  , construction support, and maintenance verifications.
• Stay updated with applicable codes, best practices, and industry standards.

Must-Have Technical Skills

  CAESAR II

  for static piping.
• Solid knowledge of

  ASME B31.3/ B31.1

  , ANSI, API, and stress-related standards.
• Proficient in

  flange leakage

  ,

  nozzle stiffness

  , and

  spring hanger

  design.
• Experience in

  buried piping stress analysis

  .
• Familiarity with

  Navisworks

  or similar tools for 3D model navigation.
• Strong report writing, documentation skills, and

  fluency in English.

Desirable Expertise

• WRC flexibility/formulation calculations.
• Nozzle stress evaluation tools (e.g., NozzlePro).
• Stress analysis of

  non-metallic piping

  (e.g., GRP).
• Excellent interpersonal and multicultural team coordination.

Your Background

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

  .

• Around 5 years experience in piping stress analysis within EPC, oil & gas, or industrial projects.

• Proven record delivering CAESAR II-based stress reports.
• Excellent analytical mindset with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance teams.
• Able to thrive under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
