Senior Process Engineer – Power Generation, Gas-to-Power

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California.

📋 Description

• Engage in hands-on process engineering for our FEL-2 and early-phase delivery projects, taking ownership of aspects that our software currently cannot manage to ensure timely project delivery.

• Serve as the quality checkpoint for Candid's automated outputs: identify errors before they reach clients, and provide feedback to enhance product quality.

• Establish how the preconstruction process is implemented on power and gas-to-power projects, defining the standards for what constitutes excellence.

• Review and verify process deliverables for early-phase packages, including heat balances, fuel gas systems, balance of plant, and utilities.

• Develop consistent checks to identify discrepancies across critical documents and transitions.

• Analyze areas of rework, understand the reasons behind them, and determine the contributing inputs.

• Clarify the interface points with Mechanical, Piping, Electrical, and Instrumentation disciplines.

• Differentiate between genuinely repetitive tasks and those requiring true engineering expertise.

• Outline the checks, workflows, and product specifications that enable software to handle repetitive tasks while keeping engineers in control.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 7 years of experience in a large-scale EPC, PMC, or owner-operator environment, primarily focused on power generation or gas-to-power.

• Direct involvement in combined cycle, simple cycle, gas-to-power, LNG, or cogeneration projects (excluding refining or petrochemical projects).

• Proven ownership of PFD and P&ID development throughout the FEED phase.

• Strong expertise in fuel gas systems, balance of plant, and utility systems.

• Practical experience with process simulation tools such as Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, Thermoflow / GT PRO, GateCycle, or similar software.

• Solid understanding of fundamentals in relief, hydraulics, and equipment sizing.

• Familiarity with API, ASME, NFPA, ISA, and relevant power industry codes.

• Ability to quickly identify inconsistencies in P&IDs, datasheets, and vendor packages.

• Clear comprehension of cross-discipline interdependencies.

• Desire to escape restrictive big-company processes.

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking on various roles; prefers action over waiting for optimal conditions.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary plus equity.

• Unlimited paid time off (PTO) to recharge for great work.

• Comprehensive health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision.

• Up to $150 per month for health and wellness reimbursement (gym memberships, fitness classes, etc.).
