Technical Project Lead at Arborenergy · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We are looking for Technical Project Lead to drive the engineering and execution of Arbor’s first-of-a-kind supercritical CO2 power plant, from front-end engineering through construction, commissioning, and first power.
Arbor acts as its own integrator, so this is an engineer's role first: someone with deep roots in process or power plant engineering who understands every dependency on a project and knows when to deploy each part of the team.
You'll start hands-on in El Segundo authoring plant-level process design during FEED, then shift toward integration and field leadership, following the plant to site through commissioning and handover to a locally hired operations team. You'll work closely with turbomachinery, combustion, controls, electrical, and test engineers to deliver the plant that proves carbon-neutral baseload power at scale.
This role is based at Arbor’s headquarters in El Segundo, CA.
Own the integrated technical execution plan: map dependencies across disciplines, permitting, and procurement, and sequence work by what each decision actually needs.
Author or direct plant-level process design (PFDs, heat and material balances, P&IDs, relief and utility design), integrating Arbor's core technology with balance-of-plant systems.
Identify critical-path equipment early and lead long-lead procurement: specifications, bid evaluations, vendor design reviews, and factory acceptance tests.
Scope, select, and manage engineering firms, fabricators, and construction contractors; review their work in depth and own the interfaces between packages.
Lead process safety (HAZID, HAZOP/LOPA, PSSR) and build constructability, modularization, and commissioning sequence into the design from the start.
Lead on-site technical execution through construction, commissioning, first fire, and performance testing.
Partner with project management and supply chain on estimates, schedule, and contracting strategy, and carry lessons into standardized designs for the units that follow.
