What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Piping Engineer (DH) position at EGS?
Come join a growing multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers designing the next generation nuclear power plant. The Principal Piping Engineer will perform nuclear piping flexibility and rupture analysis of critical safety related systems. They will also design and analyze nuclear piping supports based on applicable ASME Section III, Division 1 codes. The Principal Piping Engineer will be part of the civil / mechanical team that designs and analyzes mechanical and structural components of buildings and systems within the power plant. The designs and analyses support engineering and licensing requirements, leading to the licensing and construction of the first power plant. The Principal Piping Engineer must possess a keen understanding of piping and pipe support analysis methodologies, tools, and codes / requirements to lead and mentor a capable civil / mechanical team to efficiently deliver the design.
Positions are available in Camden, NJ, Covert MI and Pittsburgh, PA. Relocation assistance available.
Specific Areas of Responsibility :
- Extract plant configuration files from Smart 3D model and perform the necessary translation and transformation to generate an AutoPIPE native file, manually making updates as required.
- Using system design descriptions and piping & instrumentation diagrams, incorporate all applicable loading and load combinations that are pertinent to the system per the applicable service levels.
- Use AutoPIPE to locate supports with appropriate stiffness. After applicable analyses, identify areas of critical over stress regions and recommend routing and support changes to facilitate a viable and cost-effective system.
- Design optimal pipe supports when standard pipe supports are not adequate.
- For rupture evaluation, locate postulated leak and break points and design whip restraints and barriers to mitigate damage to other systems.
- Perform Leak Before Break fracture mechanics evaluation to preclude pipe breaks.
- Review sketches and other conceptual design information for subsequent development.
- Perform independent verification, validation, and oversight of engineering activities.
- Develop and maintain standards and conduct of engineering methods in functional area.
- Provide mentoring and technical direction in areas of expertise to civil / mechanical team.
- Prepare and deliver technical presentations to internal and external organizations, including regulatory interactions for which the Principal Piping Engineer will provide subject matter expertise.
- Collaborate with subcontractors and colleagues, including other subject matter experts.
