Location & Team GatheringsIntersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We've been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.
We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.
About this roleAs a Power Developer on Intersect's Development team, you'll drive the strategy, commercial structuring, and execution of utility-scale clean energy, storage, natural gas, and large-load projects across key U.S. energy markets. You will own projects throughout their full lifecycle-from early-stage siting and commercial strategy through construction handover-by framing critical tradeoffs, managing project economics, and negotiating foundational agreements with external partners.
You will immediately spearhead a high-priority initiative to deploy on-site bridging power solutions across 25+ Google data center sites nationwide, alongside advancing Intersect's core power portfolio. Managing both commercial and technical integration efforts, you will develop natural gas pipeline, battery storage, and power-generation infrastructure that provides reliable alternatives to constrained grid interconnections. This role is planned to start on December 2026, with a training period of 4 weeks to reach full productivity by January 2027.
Team overviewThis team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Development team acts as the central engine for growth, identifying high-value regional opportunities and transforming land, hyperscale load demand, and market signals into fully operational, utility-scale power infrastructure. Joining this team means taking end-to-end ownership of complex energy assets while collaborating with multidisciplinary industry experts in an agile, high-trust environment.
What you'll doExecute On-Site Bridge Power and Portfolio Strategy
- Build and execute the on-site generation strategy across a nationwide fleet of 25+ data center sites, alongside supporting utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas projects from initial market entry to construction handover.
