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

The role

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

What you will do

• Do real process engineering on FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work
• Be the quality gate on automated outputs
• Define how preconstruction process work gets done on power and gas-to-power projects
• Review and validate process deliverables including heat balances, fuel gas systems, balance of plant, and utilities
• Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across documents and handoffs
• Map where rework happens and what inputs drive it
• Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Piping, Electrical, and Instrumentation
• Separate repetitive steps from those needing real engineering judgment

Required qualifications

• 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
• Personally owned PFD and P&ID development through FEED
• Strong on fuel gas systems, balance of plant, and utility systems
• Hands-on with process simulation: Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, Thermoflow / GT PRO, GateCycle, or similar
• Solid fundamentals in relief, hydraulics, and equipment sizing
• Working knowledge of API, ASME, NFPA, ISA, and relevant power codes
• Ability to spot inconsistencies across P&IDs, datasheets, 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
• Flare system modeling and relief calculation packages
• 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
