Senior Process Engineer (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

About the role

This is a hands-on role within Candid, an AI layer for EPCs. The role involves doing real process engineering on our FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work, owning the parts our software can't handle yet. It also includes being the quality gate on Candid's automated outputs, reviewing and validating process deliverables, and shaping the product's future.

Responsibilities

• Do real process engineering on our FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work, owning the parts our software can't handle yet so projects ship
• Be the quality gate on Candid's automated outputs: catch what's wrong before it reaches a client, and feed it back so the product gets sharper
• Define how preconstruction process work actually gets done on power and gas-to-power projects, and what "good" looks like
• Review and validate process deliverables across early-phase packages: heat balances, fuel gas systems, balance of plant, utilities
• Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across key documents and handoffs
• Map where rework happens, why it happens, and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Piping, Electrical, and Instrumentation
• Separate the steps that are genuinely repetitive from the ones that need real engineering judgment
• Help define the checks, workflows, and product requirements that let software take on the repetitive parts, with engineers in control

Requirements

7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, or owner-operator, with most of it on power generation or gas-to-power

• Direct experience on combined cycle, simple cycle, gas-to-power, LNG, or cogeneration projects (not refining or petrochem only)
• Strong on fuel gas systems, balance of plant, and utility systems
• Solid fundamentals in relief, hydraulics, and equipment sizing
• Working knowledge of API, ASME, NFPA, ISA, and relevant power codes
• Spot inconsistencies across P&IDs, datasheets, and vendor packages fast
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies
• You've outgrown the big-firm machine and want to own your scope end to end

Qualifications

• Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats; bias to action over waiting for perfect
• Nice to have: discipline lead or technical authority experience, work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses, flare system modeling and relief calculation packages, real interest in AI and automation

Skills

Discipline lead or technical authority experience

• Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
