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
