Job description

What are we hiring for?

We are seeking a JDO Piping Design Engineer to join our team in Hinkley Point C, Bridgwater to support with field design activities for the piping discipline within the HPC project. The role involves managing interfaces with multiple disciplines and resolving piping engineering issues encountered during on-site installation of pipework and associated supports. The engineer will ensure compliance with nuclear industry standards and project milestones while maintaining EPR-E procedures.

What will you be doing?

The main tasks will include both Piping Design tasks and Mechanical Calculation tasks:

Piping Design role:

• Gathering input data.
• Engaging with various stakeholders (installation contractors, CW interfaces, other disciplines) to
  clarify issues.
• Producing site request technical assessment (RFI, FCR, NCR) concerning design issues on piping,
  support and anchorage scopes.
• Contributing to other teams (Layout, Transverse, etc...) by providing piping assessments or general
  guidance as required.
• Proposing appropriate and proportionate modifications if sizing criteria are not met.
• Closing open points and comments.
• Assessing and integrating modification coming from the stakeholders after packages handed over to
  JDO.
• Maintaining EPR-E's QA procedures in delivering the design.
• Working with CAD designers/detailers in the preparation of the design drawings.
• Contributing to the update of site design documentation such as tolerance notes or catalogue of
  standard solutions.

Mechanical Calculation role:

• Using calculation notes and guide drawings subcontracted to external companies.
• Perform analytical calculations and creating/running macros to assess the feasibility of modification.
• Perform piping flexibility calculations, piping support calculations, and finite element analysis (FEA)
  to address installation and operational issues using PipeStress, RSTAB & ANSYS software's.
• Design and calculate anchorages (Pre/Post Embedded Plates using VerifPlatines software or Hand
  calculations), welds, and bolted connections for piping and equipment supports.
• Offer technical support to others disciplines for a wide range of calculations: Check steel structures
  (e.g., base frames, racks), supports for electrical cabinets, batteries, boxes, main cable trays,
  instrumentation (pressure/temperature/level sensors), and HVAC support systems (for ducts,
  chillers, condensers, centrifugal fans etc..).

The employee will be highly interacting with the operational lead to provide them with technical assessments. They will be in charge of interacting with the different stakeholders to ensure the closure of site queries in compliance with the HPC project milestones.
