Premtech are an engineering design consultancy owned by National Gas. Premtech specialise in multi-discipline design of onshore oil and gas infrastructure, primarily high-pressure gas pipelines and associated installations such as off-takes, multi-junctions, and compressor stations.
Premzero are a specialist team within Premtech established in 2021 to meet an increasing demand for engineering design consultancy associated with clean energy and decarbonisation projects in the onshore oil and gas industry.
Since 2021, Premzero has played a key role in several high-profile hydrogen and CO₂ pipeline projects across the UK. These include detailed design for new hydrogen and CO₂ pipelines and installations, repurposing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen and CO₂ service, hydrogen blending into natural gas, and various innovation projects related to hydrogen transmission.
Clean energy and decarbonisation are major growth areas in the energy sector and Premzero, as part of Premtech, has seen a major increase in clean energy and decarbonisation related projects in recent years.
Premzero are seeking to expand the team with a number of new roles including a Stress Analysis Engineer(s) to carry out tasks as described below.
Whilst the role is principally pipework stress analysis it will also involve some other types of analysis such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on components, fatigue studies, fracture mechanics, CFD, heat transfer and gas temperature decay analysis, and vibration analysis.
Apply professional engineering principles, judgement, and innovative thinking to design solutions for pipeline and installation development.
Carrying out pipework stress analysis using CAESAR II software including: developing load cases, importing / developing models, resolving stress exceptions, informing the design process, and reporting results in a formal technical report.
Carrying out finite element analysis for pipework components.
Carrying out CFD simulations for gas flows in pipework such as blending as well as dispersion and ventilation modelling.
A relevant accredited engineering degree (e.g. mechanical, materials engineering).
Relevant experience as a pipework stress analysis engineer in the UK gas transmission industry or similar related industry.
Expertise and experience carrying out pipework stress analysis with CAESAR II.
Expertise and experience carrying out finite element analysis (FEA) using appropriate software.
Experience with UK and industry design legislation, standards, and specifications for the gas industry such as IGEM, British Standards, ASME, PSR, PSSR, and CDM.
Registered PS/6, G/17, G/35, GL/5 CDA approver, appraiser for stress analysis.
Experience with UK gas networks including design process (PS/6, G/17, G/35, GL/5) and specifications.
The chance to be at the forefront of the UK’s net zero infrastructure development.
