Director of Engineering Delivery (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

The role

You will direct Pre-FEED and FEED engagements for clients across power generation, gas-to-power, LNG, midstream, and downstream projects. You will lead a multi-discipline engineering team and work with the product team to automate engineering workflows using AI.

What you will do

• Direct Pre-FEED and FEED engagements for clients
• Lead and manage the discipline engineering team
• Own the assembly and quality of design basis packages, heat and mass balances, and other engineering documents
• Act as the engineering voice in client conversations
• Work with the product and AI team to turn workflows into automation targets
• Serve as the quality gate on automated outputs
• Advise on execution strategy, PDRI scoring, and gate-review readiness
• Shape delivery methodology and standards

Required qualifications

• 15+ years in capital project execution, with significant time in power generation, gas-to-power, LNG, midstream, or petrochemical facilities
• Directed or led Pre-FEED, FEED, or Concept Select phases end to end
• Direct experience leading power or gas-to-power projects (combined cycle, simple cycle, cogeneration, or gas-to-power for data center and BTM campuses)
• Managed multi-discipline engineering teams across process, mechanical, piping, electrical, and instrumentation
• Deep fluency in FEL stage-gate processes, PDRI, AACE cost estimate classes, design basis development, and the full document ecosystem
• Fluent across the codes and frameworks that govern these projects (ASME, API, IEEE, NFPA, and relevant power and interconnection standards)

Nice to have

• Multi-sector experience across LNG, midstream, and downstream
• Direct experience on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
• Owner's engineer experience, or having sat on both the EPC and owner-operator sides
• Background in AWP (Advanced Work Packaging) or modular execution
• Familiarity with turbine OEM selection and packaging (GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power) at a program level
• Comfort reading process simulation outputs
• Relationships in the Houston EPC and owner-operator ecosystem

Benefits

• Meaningful equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
• Daily lunch and dinner at the office
• Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement
