About this role
Johnson Service Group (JSG) is a nationally recognized professional staffing firm, and they are recruiting for a Principal Nuclear Piping Engineer to serve as a certifying authority within the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) design organization. This role involves complex design and analysis of NSSS piping systems, certifying design specifications, and mentoring early-career engineers.
Responsibilities:
- Performs complex piping design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III Class 1, 2, and 3 piping systems using the Bentley AutoPipe computer program in accordance with the requirements of NB, NC, ND-3600, respectively
- Performs piping design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III Class 1, 2, and 3 piping components using the ANSYS computer program in accordance with the requirements of NB-3200
- Performs pipe support design and stress analysis of ASME BPVC Section III NF supports using hand calculations or ANSYS computer program
- Performs static and dynamic analysis including response spectrum and time history analysis to calculate stresses due to deadweight, thermal expansion, thermal gradients, seismic events, and fluid transients
- Certifies design specification for ASME BPVC Section III Piping and/or Piping Supports
- Prepare and review engineering specifications, drawings, CAD models, and other documentation that communicate the design and technical aspects of piping components associated with NSSS systems
- Collaboration with drafters and requires the engineer to reviews models that have been developed in Siemens NX
