Job summary

Candid Intelligence is hiring a senior electrical engineer to deliver power generation and gas‑to‑power projects within our AI‑driven preconstruction platform. You’ll own FEL‑2 and FEED‑level electrical work, validating outputs and guiding product direction.

You will shape electrical scope, review deliverables, and build checks to ensure accuracy before client delivery. This hands‑on role blends engineering with product impact and requires leadership across disciplines.

Qualifications

• 7+ years at a large scale EPC/PMC/owner’operator/utility 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.

Responsibilities

• Do real electrical engineering on FEL‑2 and early‑phase delivery work, owning parts our software can’t handle yet so projects ship.
• Be the quality gate on automated electrical outputs: catch what’s wrong before it reaches a client, and feed it back so the product improves.
• Define how electrical scope gets developed and validated through FEED on power and gas‑to‑power projects so outputs meet expectations.
• Review and validate electrical deliverables across early‑phase packages: single‑lines, load lists, transformer sizing, distribution, grounding.
• Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across load assumptions, equipment requirements, and package interfaces.
• Map where electrical rework happens, why, and what inputs drive it.
• Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Process, Instrumentation, and grid interconnection.
• Separate repetitive steps from those needing real engineering judgment.
