Job Summary

The Stress Engineer is responsible for performing structural and thermal stress analysis of components piping systems pressure parts support structures and rotating equipment used in power generation plants. The role ensures that all equipment meets industry codes safety margins and reliability requirements for continuous and efficient plant operation.

Structural & Stress Analysis

  • Perform static thermal dynamic and fatigue stress analysis on components used in thermal nuclear hydro and renewable power plants.

  • Conduct structural analysis of piping systems including support design vibration assessment seismic evaluation and load case development.

  • Analyze pressure parts such as boilers heat exchangers turbines condensers and pressure vessels.

  • Evaluate the structural integrity of steel structures foundations platforms and equipment supports.

FEA & Simulation

  • Build and validate Finite Element Models using software such as ANSYS Abaqus Caesar II PV Elite or SolidWorks Simulation.

  • Assess combined load conditions: pressure temperature seismic operational loads dead loads wind loads etc.

  • Perform creep fatigue and high-temperature life assessments for long-running plant equipment.

Compliance & Standards

  • Ensure designs comply with applicable power-sector standards and codes such as:

    • ASME (Section I Section VIII B31.1/B31.3)

    • API ASTM ISO IEEE

    • Local grid and power-industry regulations

  • Support design reviews audits and certification activities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with mechanical design plant engineering EPC teams vendors and field service engineers.

  • Provide stress analysis input during equipment selection procurement and installation.

  • Support root-cause investigations for failures vibration issues or abnormal temperature/pressure events.

Documentation & Reporting

  • Prepare detailed calculation reports stress summaries compliance documentation and safety assessments.

  • Present findings to technical and project management teams.



Requirements

  • Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Structural Engineering Power Engineering or related field.

  • Masters degree is an advantage.

Experience

  • 310 years of experience in stress analysis within the power generation EPC heavy engineering energy infrastructure or utilities domain.

  • Hands-on experience with FEA tools (ANSYS Abaqus etc.) and piping/stress tools (Caesar II Rohr2 AutoPIPE).
