Other Jobs To Apply

Job Description:

Do real piping 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 piping outputs: catch what's wrong before it reaches a client, and feed it back so the product gets sharper
Define how piping information gets developed and validated through FEED and early detailed design on power and gas-to-power projects, and what "good" looks like
Review and validate piping content across P&IDs, line lists, piping specs, and tie-in lists
Build repeatable checks that catch tagging, completeness, and consistency issues early
Map where piping rework happens, why it happens, and what inputs drive it
Clarify interface points with Process, Mechanical, I&C, Electrical, and Civil/Structural (pipe racks and supports)
Separate the steps that are genuinely repetitive from the ones that need real engineering judgment

Requirements:

7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, or owner-operator, 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 line list and piping spec development through FEED
Strong on power plant piping: high-energy steam cycle (main steam, hot and cold reheat, feedwater), plus fuel gas, condensate, cooling water, and balance of plant piping
Hands-on with ASME B31.1 (power piping) and B31.3 (process piping)
Familiarity with pipe stress analysis and stress-critical line identification (CAESAR II or similar)
Experience with plot plan and 3D model driven layout (AVEVA E3D / PDMS, SmartPlant 3D, or similar)
You spot inconsistencies across P&IDs, line lists, 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.

Benefits:

Meaningful base + equity
Unlimited PTO. Great work needs recharging.
Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement (gym, fitness classes, and similar)
