Senior Electrical Engineer (Preconstruction)

Candid is building the AI layer for EPCs.

We use AI to reduce the manual effort behind preconstruction engineering by automating document understanding, consistency checks, and repetitive workflow steps across major disciplines. Our goal is to make preconstruction 10x faster without sacrificing engineering quality.

We recently raised $6.5M from top AI and industrial investors (including Schneider Electric and Meta’s Chief AI Scientist). Our team includes engineers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, major LNG and power projects, and leading EPCs. What You Will Do

You will help us translate real electrical workflows into product requirements and validation checks:

Define how electrical scope is developed and validated during FEED

Review and validate electrical inputs and equipment requirements across early phase packages

Create repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across load assumptions, equipment needs, and package interfaces

Map where electrical rework happens and what typically causes it

Clarify interfaces with Mechanical packages, Instrumentation, and overall project constraints

Identify which steps are repetitive vs which require real engineering judgement

Your experience will help define the checks, workflows, and product requirements that let software take on the repetitive parts, with engineers in control.

7+ years at an EPC, PMC, or owner operator

Strong understanding of FEED and early detailed design electrical workflows

Experience with typical downstream electrical deliverables (load lists, equipment requirements, distribution concepts)

Knowledge of NFPA, IEC, IEEE, or similar standards

Ability to spot inconsistencies across equipment requirements and vendor packages

Clear understanding of cross discipline dependencies

Experience with brownfield tie ins and constrained power systems

Familiarity with hazardous area driven requirements in downstream facilities
