Candid Intelligence • San Francisco, CA

22h • $150,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Candid is building the AI layer for EPCs, using AI to reduce the manual effort behind preconstruction engineering by automating document understanding, consistency checks, and repetitive workflow steps across major disciplines. The goal is to make preconstruction 10x faster without sacrificing engineering quality. The company has raised $6.5M from top AI and industrial investors and has a team with experience from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, major LNG and power projects, and leading EPCs.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• Experience with brownfield tie ins and constrained power systems
• Familiarity with hazardous area driven requirements in downstream facilities
• Interest in AI or automation

Responsibilities

• 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
• Define checks, workflows, and product requirements that let software take on the repetitive parts, with engineers in control.

Benefits

• Meaningful base + equity
