What Vista DoesVista Projects is an integrated industrial engineering firm that helps clientsnavigate the digital transformationof their projects and operations. Our proven project execution process is based on a “single source of truth” model that eliminates the potential for inefficient engineering designs, cost overruns and project completion delays. Why We Do ItWe believe the world needs industrial projects and that intelligent engineering data can increase the likelihood of innovative solutions getting to market. Over the years, our multi-discipline teams have conceptualized and designed some of the most challenging and successful industrial processing projects in the North American energy sector. Vista has established itself as a trusted industrial engineering partner for all types of projects, from conceptual studies and pilots to large‑scale commercial expansions. Where We WorkThe benefits of our approach apply to new asset developments and brownfield optimization projects across several industrial markets. This includes biofuels and produced water treatment to natural gas and petrochemical processing. We are headquartered in Calgary and maintain a satellite office in Houston. What You Would Do in This RoleWe are seeking an Intermediate Piping Stress Engineer to support piping analysis and design of piping systems on oil and gas EPC projects. This role is suited for an experienced engineer with a strong foundation in pipe stress analysis and growing experience with local stress evaluation, working under the guidance of senior and lead engineers. You will contribute to piping stress deliverables from FEED and detailed engineering through construction support within a multidisciplinary project team. Perform pipe stress analyses for static and dynamic loading conditions using CAESAR II and AutoPIPE stress analysis software Develop piping stress models, calculations, and reports in accordance with project specifications, codes, and standards Perform flexibility analyses for critical piping systems to ensure system integrity and compliance with ASME B31.3 and CSA Z662 Codes as applicable Be familiar with the stress analysis of SAGD pipelines per CSA Z662 Perform visual inspections and approve non‑critical lines Calculate sustained, expansion and occasional (wind, seismic, relief, etc.) stress, thermal displacement, operating and hydrotest loads Select appropriate pipe supports such as shoes, guides, line stops, hangers, base supports, trunnions, dummy supports Select spring supports and other engineered pipe supports, such as sway braces and snubbers, and issue data sheets Communicate results of the stress analysis to other design disciplines and rrecommend design improvements. Work in the team environment to resolve complex piping stress relate issues Conduct local stress evaluations usingFEA toolssuch asNozzleProto assess:Local nozzle stresses Pipe wall stresses at welded attachments (e.g., trunnions, shoes, dummy legs, and supports)Review vendor drawings and data for assigned stress‑critical piping systems Sufficient knowledge of applicable codes and standards (ASME B31 series, CSA Z662, ASME VIII, API) Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews and constructability reviews Provide engineering support during fabrication and construction, including resolution of field issues related to piping stress Prepare and review specialty item datasheets for spring supports, expansion joints, snubbers, etc. Issue MRQs/MRPs Review technical bid evaluations for piping stress engineering items Prepare clear, well‑documented engineering deliverables for internal and client review Support Lead Stress Engineer by developing and reviewing project schedules, budgets, progress reports, men‑hour estimates Supervise junior stress analysts, check and coordinate their work Work productively, meet deadlines timely and strictly follow QAQC requirements RequirementsBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) eligible for registration with APEGA 5–10 years of piping stress engineering experience with minimum 5 years in the oil and gas industry Experience with oil sands facility piping, well pads, and gas processing plants Experience working in an EPC project environment Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards (ASME B31.3, CSA Z662, ASME VIII) Proficiency withCAESAR IIandAutoPIPE Experience withFEA toolssuch asNozzlePro Thorough understanding of stress analysis including wind, seismic, vibration, slug flow, and fatigue Strong analytical skills and attention to detail Excellent written and verbal communication skills PreferredGreenfield, Brownfield and MOC projects Gas processing, SAGD and underground pipelines, or petrochemical facilities Exposure to fatigue analysis and cyclic service evaluations Experience working closely with Piping and CSA designers, Mechanical and Process engineers, and project management teams What We OfferAn opportunity with Vista is not just a job; it is a chance to tackle challenging projects with colleagues who are among the most recognized and accomplished in their disciplines.
