How much do pipe stress analysis jobs pay per year?

As of Jun 10, 2026, the average yearly pay for pipe stress analysis in the United States is $148,129.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $130,000.00 and $165,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the main responsibilities of a Pipe Stress Analyst on a typical project?

A Pipe Stress Analyst is responsible for evaluating piping systems to ensure they can safely withstand loads such as pressure, temperature changes, and seismic activity. This involves performing stress calculations, developing detailed reports, and providing recommendations for support placement or design modifications. Analysts often work closely with piping designers, structural engineers, and project managers to integrate stress analysis findings into overall project plans. The role can require reviewing and interpreting technical drawings, participating in design reviews, and occasionally visiting job sites to assess installation conditions. By proactively identifying and addressing potential issues, Pipe Stress Analysts help prevent costly failures and ensure regulatory compliance.

What is a Pipe Stress Analysis job?

A Pipe Stress Analysis job involves evaluating the mechanical integrity of piping systems under various operating conditions, such as pressure, temperature, and external loads. Engineers use specialized software like CAESAR II or AutoPIPE to assess stresses, displacements, and support requirements. Their goal is to ensure compliance with industry codes (e.g., ASME B31.3) and prevent failures like leaks or ruptures. This role is critical in industries such as oil & gas, power plants, and chemical processing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Pipe Stress Analysis position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Pipe Stress Analysis, a strong background in mechanical or civil engineering principles, fluid mechanics, and material science is typically required, often complemented by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency with industry-standard software such as CAESAR II or AutoPIPE, as well as knowledge of applicable codes like ASME and API, is essential. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are key soft skills for working within multidisciplinary project teams. These competencies are vital to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of piping systems in critical industrial environments.

We are an industry leader in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) with both domestic and international customers. 

Position Summary

Vogt Power International is looking for a talented Pipe Stress Engineer to work on a multi-discipline project team to analyze and review the ASME pressure parts and supports associated with our Heat Recovery Steam Generators.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities

         Perform flexibility analyses for piping systems to ensure stresses are within code allowable limits

         Develop piping stress models which include all physical properties of the piping, its contents, and insulation

         Locate and design pipe supports and restraints which maintain static equilibrium and minimize stresses

         Work directly with our design group to ensure the detailed support designs are created accurately and on schedule

         Work directly with Piping Designers, Structural Engineers, Product Engineers, Project Engineers, Lead Designers, and others to ensure pipe routing and equipment access is optimized and that loads are properly addressed where piping interfaces with equipment or supports interface with the main structure

         Use hand calculations, internal spreadsheets, programs, or other tools to determine or validate miscellaneous expansions, stresses, loads, and support designs

         Perform dynamic analyses to determine loads originating from safety valve opening, steam turbine trip, or other dynamic events

         Create specifications, lists, requisitions, and review quotes to support the procurement of pipe support material

         Communicate and coordinate with VPI's customer (or customer's representative) to ensure VPI's piping scope interfaces properly with the customer's piping scope

         Provide organized and well written reports to describe assumptions, steps taken, and results from work performed

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. 

Requirements

         Bachelor of Science in an engineering related field with emphasis on statics, dynamics, stress analysis and/or Finite Element Analysis

         Two years of experience in Heat Recovery Steam Generators or other related piping experience preferred

         Experience in operating Caesar II or AutoPipe piping analysis software preferred

         Proficiency with Microsoft Excel

         Prior knowledge of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Codes, with an emphasis on B31.1 is preferred

         Good communication skills and ability to work well in a team environment

To provide greater transparency to candidates, we include base pay ranges for all US-based job postings that encompass all potential locations and levels for the open position.  Our base pay ranges are set based on the function, discipline, level and regional location and are benchmarked against companies in the same or similar industry.  Final offers may vary based on multiple factors, including education, depth and relevance of work experience, relevant licenses and certifications, and may vary from the amounts listed in the job posting.
