Senior Mechanical Engineer (Preconstruction)

Candid Intelligence is focused on building the AI layer for EPCs to streamline preconstruction engineering. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will translate mechanical workflows into product requirements, validate equipment scope, and create checks to identify inconsistencies early in the process.

Responsibilities:

• Define how equipment scope is developed and validated during FEED
• Review and validate mechanical content across datasheets, vendor packages, and discipline handoffs
• Create repeatable checks that catch scope gaps and inconsistencies early
• Map where mechanical rework happens and what typically causes it
• Clarify interfaces with Process, Piping, I&C, and Electrical
• Identify which steps are repetitive vs which require real engineering judgement

Requirements:

• 7+ years at an EPC, PMC, or owner operator
• Strong understanding of FEED and early detailed design mechanical workflows
• Experience creating and reviewing equipment datasheets and vendor packages
• Familiarity with ASME code driven equipment practices and common downstream equipment types
• Ability to spot inconsistencies across datasheets, P&IDs, and vendor packages
• Clear understanding of cross discipline dependencies
• Experience with turbomachinery heavy scopes or packaged systems
• Experience taking equipment from FEED into procurement and detailed engineering
• Interest in AI or automation
