Senior Piping Stress Engineer 2 - Nuclear

Sargent & Lundy•North York, ON

13d•CA$111,304 - CA$153,043•Hybrid

About The Position

In this position, you will be responsible for piping analysis work on new and existing generation nuclear projects, and will interface with systems engineering, structural engineering, piping design, and support design groups, for the design of piping systems and pipe supporting elements. This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in-office work 3 days per week, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

Requirements

BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace, or Structural/Civil Engineering from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board-accredited undergraduate program or a US based ABET-accredited program, with an emphasis in solid mechanics, structural analysis, theory of elasticity, metallurgy, and finite element analysis
7 or more years creating computer piping analysis models and interpreting results for code compliance
Must have knowledge of ASME B31.1 and ASME B&PV Section III piping codes (knowledge of B31.1 1967 Edition and B&PV Section III 1971 through Summer 1973 Addenda is preferred)
Knowledge of the design, selection, and application of pipe supporting elements
Working knowledge of commercially available piping products and their application
Strong written and verbal communication skills required

Nice To Haves

P.Eng license is desired
Active Ontario Power Generation (OPG) security clearance is a plus
MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering, from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission-approved program
Experience with CAESAR II and/or AutoPIPE Pipe Stress Analysis software
Experience with ANSYS Workbench and Mechanical ADP
Knowledge of gas dynamics and hydraulic transients is desirable
Knowledge of pipe condition assessment is a plus
Additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows.

Responsibilities

Reconciliation of pipe stress reports for as-built conditions
Prepare analytical reports determining the reactions of piping on equipment and structures
Interpret and apply code requirements
Review proposed piping support systems, identify issues, and recommend appropriate, cost-effective solutions
Interface and exchange engineering details between external contacts including equipment suppliers, clients, and installation contractors
Manage workload to meet project commitments
Consult with client and others on field-related issues including follow-up reports or design modifications
Coordinate and provide guidance to other engineers, project managers, client personnel, and suppliers to ensure a complete and timely design
Develop your career via peer-learning through sharing of knowledge with other experienced engineers by way of S&L’s systems of process and associated “Communities of Practice"
Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers
Lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost-effective designs.
Direct automation and process-improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guiding when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.
Oversee engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs.
