About The Position

AtkinsRéalis is seeking a Senior Pipe Stress Engineer to join its team in Bothell, Washington, or another U.S.-based office. The role works with multidisciplinary teams, collaborators, and clients to perform pipe stress analysis for power piping and industrial systems under ASME B31.1 and B31.3. The engineer models piping systems using stress-analysis software to assess flexibility and stability and to qualify equipment nozzle loads. The position also involves producing clear calculations and stress reports, coordinating with other engineering disciplines, vendors, and equipment suppliers, and reviewing supplier submittals. Occasional or infrequent travel to project sites, other offices, or manufacturing plants may be required. The role calls for at least 15 years of pipe stress analysis experience and at least 15 years using AutoPIPE or CAESAR II, including required experience analyzing critical high-energy piping systems, specifically steam systems. A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a similar field from an ABET-accredited college is required; a PE license is preferred but not required. The expected compensation range is $155,000–$183,000, depending on skills, experience, and geographic location. The position is listed as regular employee work.
