About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead piping engineering design activities for process piping, high-temperature piping, utility piping, specialty systems, and facility piping interfaces.
Develop, review, and approve piping specifications, piping classes, line lists, tie-in requirements, routing concepts, support strategies, anchoring approaches, and technical calculations.
Evaluate high-temperature piping behavior, expansion, flexibility, anchoring, guides, supports, equipment loads, routing constraints, and maintainability requirements.
Review piping layouts, isometrics, support details, stress analysis inputs, material selections, valve requirements, penetration details, and vendor documentation.
Coordinate piping design with process, mechanical, I&C, HVAC, electrical, civil/structural, safety basis, radiological controls, quality, construction, and operations teams.
Support design reviews, constructability reviews, hazard reviews, field walkdowns, procurement activities, construction issue resolution, testing, startup, and commissioning.
Provide technical direction to piping designers and engineers while maintaining configuration control, quality, and schedule alignment.
Prepare engineering dispositions, technical evaluations, design change packages, and clear recommendations for project leadership.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
10+ years of piping engineering experience supporting nuclear, DOE, chemical, high-temperature, high-hazard, process, or highly regulated industrial facilities.
Strong experience with high-temperature piping, piping specifications, routing, anchoring, supports, piping materials, and piping design coordination.
Knowledge of piping codes, pressure boundary requirements, stress considerations, thermal expansion, equipment interfaces, constructability, and configuration control.
