- Experience with piping stress analysis software, such as ROHR2 or CAESAR II, and FEA tools such as ANSYS Mechanical or Inventor Nastran.
- Strong knowledge of mechanical design, industrial plant, process pipework, engineering calculations and design verification.
- Ability to interpret P&IDs, technical specifications and engineering drawings, with knowledge of relevant standards and codes.
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to client sites, including occasional overseas travel.
Desirable Experience
- Experience with CFD, advanced FEA, structural or thermal analysis.
- Familiarity with Navisworks, Revit, 3D laser scanning and point-cloud software.
- Experience designing skids, pipework supports, platforms, walkways and other industrial structures.
- Knowledge of standards such as ASME B31.3 and EN 13480.
- Experience supporting installation, commissioning, design checking or mentoring junior engineers.
If you are a Chartered Mechanical Design Engineer looking for technically challenging projects and opportunities to develop your expertise, KHR would love to hear from you. Please apply today.
At KHR, we take care to ensure that you are represented as well as possible, so it is worth checking your CV for layout, spelling and grammar as well as making sure it is up to date before you submit.
