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

Candid Intelligence is focused on building an AI layer for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies to enhance preconstruction engineering. They are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with experience in power generation and gas-to-power projects to perform hands-on engineering, validate automated outputs, and define project scopes.

Responsibilities:

• Do real electrical 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 electrical outputs: catch what's wrong before it reaches a client, and feed it back so the product gets sharper
• Define how electrical scope gets developed and validated through FEED on power and gas-to-power projects, and what 'good' looks like
• Review and validate electrical deliverables across early-phase packages: single-lines, load lists, transformer and switchgear sizing, distribution architecture, grounding
• Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across load assumptions, equipment requirements, and package interfaces
• Map where electrical rework happens, why it happens, and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Process, Instrumentation, and the grid interconnection
• 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, owner-operator, or utility, 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)
• You've personally owned single-line diagram and electrical load list development through FEED
• Strong on power system architecture: GSU and station service transformers, MV/LV switchgear, MCCs, distribution, grounding
• Hands-on with power system study tools: ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, PSS/E, or similar (load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash)
• Working knowledge of NEC/NFPA 70, IEEE, NESC, NERC, and IEC
• Familiarity with grid interconnection and the switchyard interface
• You spot inconsistencies across load lists, single-lines, and vendor packages fast
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies
• You've felt boxed in by big-company process and you want out
• Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats; bias to action over waiting for perfect
• Discipline lead or technical authority experience
• Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
• Brownfield tie-ins and constrained or islanded power systems
• Protection and relaying philosophy, or interconnection study experience
• Real interest in AI and automation
