Senior Piping Stress Engineer 1

Responsibilities

Responsible for piping analysis work on new and existing generation nuclear projects, and interface with systems engineering, structural engineering, piping design, and support design groups for the design of piping systems and pipe supporting elements.

Reconcile pipe stress reports for as‑built conditions.

Prepare analytical reports determining the reactions of piping on equipment and structures.

Interpret and apply code requirements.

Review proposed piping support systems, identify issues, and recommend appropriate cost‑effective solutions.

Interface and exchange engineering details with external contacts including equipment suppliers, clients, and installation contractors.

Manage workload to meet project commitments.

Consult with clients and others on field‑related issues, including follow‑up reports or design modifications.

Coordinate and provide guidance to other engineers, project managers, client personnel, and suppliers to ensure a complete and timely design.

Develop your career via peer‑learning by sharing knowledge with other experienced engineers through S&L’s systems of process and associated “Communities of Practice”.

Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers.

This position is based on a hybrid work schedule and will require in‑office work 3 days per week, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days.

Working knowledge of commercially available piping products and their application.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Valued But Not Required Skills And Experience

P.Eng license is desired.

Active Ontario Power Generation (OPG) security clearance is a plus.

MS in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering from an ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission‑approved program.

Experience with CAESAR II and/or AutoPIPE Pipe Stress Analysis software.

Experience with ANSYS Workbench and Mechanical ADP.

Knowledge of gas dynamics and hydraulic transients is desirable.

Knowledge of pipe condition assessment is a plus.

AI & Automation at Sargent & Lundy In this role, we expect people to be willing or able to lead others who use modern tools:

Lead others in taking engineering problems from issue to solution by setting expectations for using data and modern tools such as automation and AI to improve workflows, reduce rework, and deliver cost‑effective designs.

Direct automation and process‑improvement work, for example, how teams automate calculations, summarize technical documents, or generate design documentation and guide when and how AI or agentic AI tools are used while ensuring results are checked.

Oversee engineers who program or script (e.g., Python, MATLAB, advanced Excel) to automate engineering tasks, with review of automated outputs; valued but not required.

Value additional learning, such as a minor, certificate, or other experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or related fields that enables effective oversight of automation and agentic AI‑enabled engineering workflows.
