Job description

Twelve is a next-generation industrial company advancing how everyday products are made from the molecule up. AirPlant™ is our Power-to-X hydrocarbon platform that harnesses CO2, water, and electricity to make essential fuels and chemicals that underpin the global economy. We are on a mission to advance industry for the next century and lead a new era of innovation where everyday products are made from air.

We are seeking a Sr. Principal Electrical Design Engineer to join our Plant Design team. The Plant Design team supports greenfield capital project execution in a technical capacity.

As part of the Plant Design team, you will support projects building process plants using both electrolyzers and other balance of plant equipment to process and convert CO2 into a myriad of value-added products. You will lead the electrical Plant design from inception to steady operations, partner closely with external parties to execute detailed design and construction, and productization teams to continually improve electrical designs.

This is an onsite role in Moses Lake, WA with periodic travel to Twelve HQ in Berkeley, CA. Twelve will offer relocation support for your move. The ideal candidate will also be open to future colocation with the EPC in Calgary, and to a third relocation to TX or ND after that.

What You Will Do

• Develop electrical engineering FEL 1-2-3 deliverables and represent Twelve as an owner’s engineer throughout a project lifecycle.
• Work with other electrical engineers on balance of plant electrical designs for process plant and electrolyzer systems.
• Interface with adjacent internal disciplines and project functions such as process, controls, instrumentation, mechanical, procurement, and project management.
• Interface with external EPCs, suppliers and manufacturers, construction contractors, OEMs, distributors, consultants, and other subject matter experts.
• Ensure plants are designed and built to appropriate standards, with appropriate consideration given to reliability, maintainability, constructability, operability, and safety.

• Review and approve electrical drawings, equipment data sheets and requisition packages, Engineering and Construction Work Packages, Material Take-Offs/ Estimates, FAT/ SAT plans, commissioning plans, and startup activities, etc.
• Manage or guide 3rd party electrical engineering interfaces.
• Execute or guide electrical studies.
• Provide technical support to on-site construction teams and assist with plant commissioning and start-up activities.
• Support operational issues as needed.

Who You Are
