Senior Piping Engineer (Preconstruction)
Candid Intelligence, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
What We’re Building
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 piping workflows into product requirements and validation checks:
Define how piping information is developed and validated during FEED and early detailed design
Review and validate piping related content across P&IDs, line lists, and specs
Create repeatable checks to catch tagging, completeness, and consistency issues early
Map where piping rework happens and what typically causes it
Clarify interface points with Process, Mechanical, I&C, and Electrical
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.
What We Are Looking For
7+ years at an EPC, PMC, or owner operator
Strong understanding of FEED and early detailed design piping workflows
Experience with P&ID reviews and common piping deliverables (line list, specs, valve selection logic)
Familiarity with ASME B31.3 and downstream piping practices
Ability to spot inconsistencies across P&IDs, line lists, and vendor packages
Clear understanding of cross discipline dependencies
Nice to Have
Experience with brownfield tie ins and constructability constraints
Familiarity with plot plan and 3D model driven decisions
Interest in AI or automation
Perks
Meaningful base + equity
Unlimited PTO: We believe great work requires recharging.
Insurance: Generous health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision.
Health and Wellness Budget: We provide up to $150/mo reimbursement for health and wellness spending, such as gym memberships, fitness classes, or similar.
