Senior Equipment Stress Engineer
Richland, WA
Job Description
Job Title - Senior Equipment Stress Engineer
Full-Time Office/Project
No Remote/No Telework
US Citizenship Required
Project Overview
Our client is a global engineering, construction and project management company that has "built the world" for more than 120 years, having constructed Hoover Dam, the English Channel Tunnel, entire cities in the Middle East, the second-largest solar thermal power project in the world, and millions of miles of roads and pipelines. We produce a lasting, positive legacy by creating jobs, growing economies, connecting communities to resources, shoring up and expanding infrastructure, and making the world a cleaner, greener, safer place.
Join us as we make history at the Hanford Vit Plant, known as the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. We are designing and building a one-of-a-kind facility that will turn radioactive and chemical waste left over from World War II and Cold War plutonium production into a form safe for disposal. Your efforts will help protect the nearby Columbia River and the communities, salmon, and wildlife along its shorelines throughout the Northwest.
Sitting at the confluence of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers near two mountain ranges, our community provides access to year-round outdoor recreation, 300 days of sun a year, more than 200 wineries within a 50-mile radius, and the amenities of large cities just a three-hour drive (or short flight) to Seattle and Portland.
Position Summary
You will be working as member of the Equipment Analysis Group designing and analyzing complex mechanical equipment. You will be preparing design documentation, performing calculations using engineering software, and preparing specifications for complex mechanical equipment used in the waste treatment process and support systems.
The ideal candidate will have the following:
Experience with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software to support structural and thermal analyses. WTP prefers STAR-CCM+ or ANSYS Fluent.
Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) software for structural and thermal analyses. WTP prefers ANSYS.
Experience using industry standards such as ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, AISC ASD, and AISC N690.
Experience producing equipment design calculations.
Experience producing design documents, including specifications and datasheets that incorporate the applicable design requirements, including nuclear safety requirements.
Responsibilities
The primary role of the Senior Equipment Stress Engineer is to collect the process, mechanical, controls, safety, and other requirements for the process equipment in order to develop highly detailed documents and calculations for the equipment to meet the applicable requirements. The primary products of the Equipment Analysis Group are design calculations validating the suitability of equipment for use on project.
The Senior Equipment Stress Engineer will:
Perform equipment analyses using CFD or FEA software to produce equipment design calculations, as well as perform reviews of analyses and other submittals prepared by equipment vendors.
Resolve technical issues related to the equipment design and discuss them with other disciplines, groups, suppliers and the customer.
Interface and coordinate with other engineering disciplines in the development of the design.
Support the production of the equipment drawings. This may be performed as an individual contributor or leading other engineers.
Prepare reports and studies in resolving open technical issues related to the equipment design.
Support development of cost estimates and schedules for mechanical equipment.
Ensure work is performed to the project's quality standards for nuclear facilities while executing to the schedule.
Qualifications and Skills
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering (or equivalent) with minimum of 13 years of experience. Related experience includes, but is not limited to, the design and fabrication of complex equipment, experience with liquid & gas handling equipment preferred (vessels, tanks, air handling equipment, mixers, etc.
Knowledge of industry and regulatory guides, codes, and standards; particularly fabrication and construction of process equipment, including ASME Section VIII, ASME B31.3, AISC ASD, AISC N690, etc.
Significant experience using CFD analysis software (such as STAR-CCM+ and/or ANSYS Fluent).
Understanding of fluid dynamics, specifically fluid flow, heat transfer and acoustics.
Experience working with procedures employing quality assurance programs such as ASME-NQA-1, MIL-Q-9858A, or ISO-9000.
Minimum Qualifications
Broad knowledge of the application of Mechanical Engineering design principles
Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), work well with others, and is flexible.
Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office products (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
Must be able to complete and pass a pre-employment drug screen, physical (if located at the construction site), and background check which includes verification of employment and education.
Must be able to obtain a Department of Energy badge for access to the Hanford Site.
US Citizenship Required
Preferred Qualifications
Professional Engineering license.
MS degree in Engineering (Mechanical or related).
Experience in DOE or commercial nuclear facilities, particularly in equipment design analysis.
Experience using STAR-CCM+ and/or ANSYS Fluent CFD Software Packages?
Experience using ANSYS Finite Element Analysis Software (Mechanical APDL or Workbench).
Experience performing equipment analyses using FEA software to produce equipment structural design calculations?
Understanding of equipment design; specifically structural, thermal and dynamic (e.g. seismic modal and response spectra) analyses.
Knowledge of Bechtel Corporate guides and standards.
We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, religion, color sex, national origin, citizenship status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, uniform service member status, genetic information, disability, or any other protected status, in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
