Job Description

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

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Power Engineering, or related field.

  • Master's 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).
