[Remote] Pipe Stress Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Spencer Ogden is seeking Pipe Stress Engineers to support the engineering and design of a new nuclear power plant project. The role involves piping stress analyses, engineering model development, and preparation of technical documentation in accordance with nuclear industry codes and standards.

Responsibilities

• Perform piping stress analyses supporting new nuclear power plant design, from initial design inputs through final engineering documentation
• Develop detailed piping subsystem models using PIPESTRESS software and PCF files , incorporating geometry, materials, components, supports, restraints, and load cases
• Interpret piping specifications, isometric drawings, equipment data, design requirements, and operating conditions
• Evaluate sustained, thermal expansion, seismic, dynamic, anchor movement, and other project-specific loading conditions
• Analyze piping components, supports, nozzles, flanges, penetrations, and equipment interfaces to ensure compliance with design requirements
• Utilize Python macros to automate model preparation, process engineering data, perform quality checks, and evaluate analysis results
• Troubleshoot modeling errors, analysis warnings, and technical discrepancies
• Prepare comprehensive, traceable engineering reports documenting assumptions, methodologies, calculations, results, and conclusions
• Ensure engineering deliverables comply with ASME BPVC Section III, Subsection NCD, and ASME B31.1
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve technical issues and coordinate design activities

Skills

• 5+ years of piping stress analysis experience, preferably within the nuclear power industry
• Experience performing piping stress calculations and developing detailed analysis models
• Proficiency with PIPESTRESS, AutoPIPE, or comparable piping stress analysis software
• Strong understanding of ASME BPVC Section III and ASME B31.1 requirements
• Experience evaluating seismic, thermal, sustained, and dynamic piping loads
• Ability to interpret piping isometrics, design specifications, and engineering drawings
• Strong technical documentation, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to independently manage engineering deliverables and coordinate with cross-functional teams
• PIPESTRESS experience strongly preferred

Benefits

• Hybrid / Remote Flexibility
