Piping Stress Engineer 2 - Nuclear
About The Position
The Piping Engineering & Analysis discipline evaluates piping systems in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.7, and other applicable codes. Its specialty work includes vibration monitoring and analysis related to plant modifications and operating events, vibration prevention and mitigation solutions, hydraulic transient evaluations, thermal stratification evaluations, operability evaluations, and qualification of piping for hydrodynamic loads. The discipline also conducts pipe rupture evaluations, evaluates pipe wall thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), and performs pipe flaw evaluations. The Piping Stress Engineer 2 provides technical support to projects by performing engineering tasks such as preparing calculations, specifications, and component designs. The role contributes to resolving simple design problems, with most tasks performed under minimal supervision. Responsibilities include independently preparing simple calculations and system or structural designs; gathering data for specifications, reports, and studies; preparing simple specifications under supervision and simple bid tabulations; communicating technical information clearly to project team members and supervisors; applying accepted standards and processes; completing assignments within allocated time frames; and developing professional capabilities. The position is based on a hybrid work schedule and requires in-office work three days per week. Sargent & Lundy's Nuclear Power Group works on nuclear engineering, design, and licensing, including small modular reactors, advanced reactor technology, existing plant life extensions and digital modernization, coal-to-nuclear conversion initiatives, and international nuclear new-build projects.
