AI in this role

Wood is currently seeking a Junior/Intermediate Pipeline Stress Engineer to join our Calgary office. The successful candidate will be responsible for executing advanced stress analysis and engineering assessments for buried pipeline projects across the oil and gas industry. The role involves performing advanced finite element analysis using ABAQUS, working independently on assigned tasks with minimal supervision, and providing technical recommendations to senior engineers and project managers. The successful candidate will contribute to pipeline design, integrity, rerating, repair, and construction support projects from concept through completion.

Perform linear and nonlinear finite element stress analysis of buried and above-ground pipelines using ABAQUS.
Conduct engineering assessments for pipeline integrity, rerating, fitness-for-service, repair, and reinforcement projects.
Support design and construction projects from FEED through detailed engineering, construction support, and as-built phases.
Develop finite element models and perform detailed technical evaluations for complex loading conditions, including thermal expansion, geohazards, settlement, buoyancy, and operational loads.
Interpret analysis results and develop practical engineering recommendations for design, construction, integrity, and operational challenges.
Prepare technical calculations, engineering assessments, and detailed technical reports.
Apply industry codes and standards related to pipeline design and operation, including CSA Z662, ASME B31.4, and ASME B31.8.
Review technical specifications and ensure compliance with project requirements.
Support project planning, execution strategies, and development of internal technical guidelines.

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
Typically 3-5 years of relevant experience in pipeline stress analysis, finite element analysis, or pipeline engineering.
Demonstrated experience developing and executing finite element models in ABAQUS, including nonlinear analysis of buried pipeline systems.
Experience with buried pipeline design, strain-based design, pipeline integrity assessments, or geohazard evaluations.
Familiarity with pipeline design and integrity codes including CSA Z662, ASME B31.4, and ASME B31.8.
Experience with AutoPIPE, CAESAR II, or similar stress analysis software would be considered an asset.
Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, or similar engineering tools is desirable.
Experience preparing technical reports and communicating engineering findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple assignments and work effectively within project teams.
Demonstrated commitment to technical excellence, safety, and quality.
