What employers screen for
Vessel teams screen for the code stamp path and the software. ASME Section VIII plus PV Elite or Compress is the usual pair. A generic FEA bullet does not replace the code calculation.
- Size shells, heads, and nozzles to ASME Section VIII.
- Run PV Elite or Compress and file the calculation with the drawing.
- Set MDMT, joint efficiency, and corrosion allowance from the data sheet.
- Support the fabricator on nozzle loads and the U-stamp document set.
Plant layout stays on the piping design engineer resume. General simulation stays on the FEA engineer resume.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a pressure vessel design resume include?
Name ASME Section VIII, the software (PV Elite or Compress), nozzle or MDMT decisions, and one vessel you took from data sheet to issued calculations.
How is this different from a piping design resume?
Piping design routes lines and issues isometrics. Vessel design sizes the pressure boundary to Section VIII. Use the piping page for SP3D and B31.3.
Do I need a PE for vessel design?
Many US issuers want a PE or work under one. List the license only if you hold it, and say whether you stamped or prepared the calculation.
Should FEA be on a vessel resume?
Add FEA only for a local stress or nozzle case the code calculation did not cover, and link the broader simulation role to the FEA engineer page.
