Job description

We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation. Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet. Location & Team Gatherings Intersect 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 role As a Power Developer on Intersect's Development team, you'll drive the strategy, commercial structuring, and end-to-end execution of utility-scale clean energy, storage, natural gas, and co-located load projects across key U.S. markets. You will own projects from early-stage siting and commercial strategy through construction handover—framing complex technical and economic tradeoffs, managing project valuation models, and negotiating critical commercial agreements. Partnering closely with internal subject matter experts and external partners, you'll solve multifaceted infrastructure challenges to deliver de-risked, high-impact assets that generate long-run value. Initially, you will spearhead our strategic initiative to deploy on-site bridging power solutions across more than 25 Google data center sites nationwide, alongside advancing our core Intersect power portfolio.
