Basic Job Function
To act as a technical resource and structural engineer for our project execution team, responsible for performing structural and mechanical design, analysis and engineering of Air Cooled Condensers (ACC) for power plants in compliance with the US and International Building Codes.
Required Skills
• Ability to perform static and dynamic design calculation and analysis of steel structures, tanks, and steam exhaust ducting and piping (pipe stress analysis).
• Ability to read and understand plans, specifications, drawings, and documents related to engineering, fabrication, and construction.
• Familiarity with design codes including IBC, AISC, ASME Section VIII, and B31.1.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD and MS Office.
• Knowledge with various engineering software such as STAAD Pro, Caesar II, and PV Elite.
• Great attention to detail and the ability to work collectively with a project team.
Education & Experience
• BS or preferably an MS in Structural or Mechanical Engineering.
• A Professional Engineer (PE) license (or passed the FE Exam) and/or ability/desire to obtain the same.
• 2+ years of experience in a similar engineering role.
Essential Roles & Responsibilities
• Integrate into existing multi-disciplinary team designing state-of-the-art air-cooled condensers for power plants worldwide.
• Propose, design, and validate new ways of optimizing and reducing the total amount of structural material in a power plant cooling system to reduce the overall cost of the system.
• Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD).
• Design for lateral loads (i.e. wind and earthquakes).
• Foundation loading calculations.
• Detail structural steel connection design.
• Mechanical design and flex analysis for piping and ducting, including expansion bellows.
• Work with field teams to understand construction and assembly needs and develop immediate solutions and roadmaps to reduce time and cost of equipment installation.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturers to develop designs to ensure ease of manufacture.
• Specify and document structural and mechanical systems for design & drafting by others.
