Role Overview
The Stress Analysis Engineer will provide end-to-end piping stress analysis support for engineering projects handled by the Process Engineering Department (PED). The role demands strong technical expertise, independent working capability, and full ownership of assigned stress analysis activities across project lifecycles.
Key Responsibilities
1. Piping Stress Analysis Support
- Perform detailed piping stress analysis modelling and analysis for projects designed by the Process Engineering Department (PED).
- Analyze piping systems under various loading conditions, including:
- Sustained loads
- Thermal expansion
- Occasional loads (wind, seismic)
- Equipment nozzle loads and flexibility checks
2. Stress Modelling & Engineering Calculations
- Develop accurate stress analysis models using approved stress analysis software (e.g., CAESAR II or equivalent).
- Review piping layouts, isometrics, and P&IDs to ensure modelling accuracy.
- Generate and review stress calculation reports, ensuring technical correctness and engineering judgment.
3. Site Verification & Field Support
- Conduct site visits to verify existing piping networks.
- Compare existing site conditions with piping isometrics and drawings to identify discrepancies.
- Update stress models to reflect actual as-built conditions for accurate analysis.
- Provide technical recommendations for modifications or corrective actions based on site findings.
4. Independent Ownership & Accountability
- Take full responsibility and ownership of all stress analysis activities assigned.
- Work independently with minimal supervision while meeting project schedules and quality requirements.
- Coordinate directly with PED, piping designers, and other engineering disciplines to resolve stress-related issues.
- Address technical queries, deviations, and design changes related to stress analysis.
5. Documentation & Engineering Deliverables
- Prepare and maintain:
- Stress analysis reports
- Design calculations
- Technical justifications and compliance documents
- Ensure all deliverables meet internal engineering procedures and client requirements.
Experience & Skill Requirements
- Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience in piping stress analysis for industrial projects (oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, or similar).
- Strong knowledge of piping codes, standards, and industry best practices.
- Proven ability to work independently with strong problem-solving skills.
- Experience with site-based verification and brownfield projects is highly preferred.
- Excellent communication skills for coordination with engineering teams and stakeholders.
