Key Responsibilities:

Piping Stress Engineering & Analysis Execution

• Perform piping stress analysis and flexibility studies during Concept, Pre‑FEED, FEED, and EPC execution phases.
• Develop stress analysis models, load cases, and calculation reports for critical and non‑critical piping systems.
• Evaluate thermal expansion, sustained, occasional, and dynamic loads to ensure system integrity and code compliance.
• Perform detailed stress analysis using CAESAR II software, including model setup, load case definition, analysis execution, and result interpretation.

• Define piping support requirements and provide support load data to Civil / Structural and Pipe Support teams.
• Ensure stress analysis activities comply with applicable international and local codes and standards (ASME, EN, etc.), project specifications, and industry best practices.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

• Coordinate closely with piping layout, pipe support, civil/structural, mechanical, and construction teams.
• Interface with vendors, OEMs, and package suppliers to review stress‑related aspects of vendor piping systems and equipment nozzles.
• Support alignment between piping layout design and stress analysis requirements.

Technical Problem Solving & Support

• Identify and resolve piping stress‑related technical issues, proposing practical and constructable solutions
• Support site queries, field changes, and stress re‑analysis during construction and commissioning phases
• Assist in resolving vibration, expansion, and alignment issues observed during installation or operation.

Quality & Engineering Best Practices

• Ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality of stress engineering deliverables.
• Apply EPC best practices to meet project schedule, safety, and quality targets..
• Support continuous improvement through application of lessons learned and discipline standardization initiative.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Experience Requirements

• Minimum 10 years of overall piping stress engineering experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in EPC power plant projects
• Proven experience in Combined Cycle Power Plants is mandatory.
• Experience in renewable energy and BESS projects is an added advantage.
• Prior experience of international EPC projects is preferred.
• Proven hands‑on experience with CAESAR II for piping stress analysis is mandatory (AutoPIPE or equivalent tools are an added advantage).
• Good understanding of piping layout, pipe supports, equipment interfaces, and EPC execution methodologies.
• Fluent in English, with good oral and written communication skills
