Senior Mechanical Engineer (Power Generation / Gas-to-Power)

The role

You will perform mechanical engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work. You will act as a quality gate for automated mechanical outputs and help define product requirements for power and gas-to-power projects.

What you will do

• Do real mechanical engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work
• Be the quality gate on automated mechanical outputs
• Define how equipment scope gets developed and validated through FEED
• Review and validate mechanical content across equipment datasheets, vendor packages, and discipline handoffs
• Build repeatable checks that catch scope gaps and inconsistencies early
• Map where mechanical rework happens and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Process, Piping, I&C, and Electrical
• Separate repetitive steps from those needing real engineering judgment

Required qualifications

• 7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, owner-operator, or OEM, 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
• Personally owned mechanical equipment datasheet development and vendor package review through FEED
• Strong on rotating and power-plant equipment: gas turbines, steam turbines, HRSGs, pumps, compressors, fans, and balance of plant mechanical
• Hands-on with equipment specification to API and ASME (API 610, 611, 612, 617; ASME VIII; B31.1 power piping)
• Experience coordinating OEM turbine and major equipment packages (GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, or similar)
• Ability to spot inconsistencies across datasheets, P&IDs, and vendor packages fast
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies
• Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats

Nice to have

• Discipline lead or technical authority experience
• Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses
• Taking equipment from FEED into procurement and detailed engineering
• Packaged or modular systems and skid integration
• Real interest in AI and automation

Benefits

• Meaningful base + equity
• Unlimited PTO
• Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision
• Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement
