Position Summary
The Senior Principal Engineer - Pipe Stress provides senior-level technical leadership for piping stress analysis and piping design support across complex engineering projects. The role ensures piping systems meet the intent of applicable codes, project standards, specifications, and manufacturer requirements for safe and efficient operation.
This position performs and reviews advanced stress analyses, develops project and discipline standards, coordinates work with local and overseas engineering offices, and reviews and seals engineering documentation in accordance with applicable state and governing-body requirements. The role also supports project planning, estimating, scheduling, progress reporting, technical issue resolution, and mentoring of piping engineers and designers.
Key Responsibilities
Functional Responsibilities
  • Develop work-hour estimates, execution plans, and budgets for bids and assigned projects.
  • Track and report engineering progress throughout project execution.
