Associate Project Manager, Data Centers and Natural Gas Power Plants

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.

Coordinate day-to-day activities across EPC contractors, engineering consultants, equipment suppliers, and internal stakeholders. Track project risks, issues, milestones, and action items to help ensure safe, on-time, and on-budget delivery. Lead Technology Pilot Programs Manage first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technology pilot projects that validate new power generation and control system solutions before commercial deployment. Coordinate the integration of complex hardware and software systems, including natural gas engines, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), medium-voltage switchgear, load banks, and grid and PV simulators. Partner with Engineering and strategic teams to define pilot objectives, success criteria, and phased execution plans. Analyze pilot performance, document lessons learned, and prepare recommendations that inform future investment and deployment decisions. Drive Engineering & EPC Coordination Support engineering activities from FEED (FEL 1–3) through Issued for Construction (IFC) documentation. Coordinate design reviews, vendor submittals, technical documentation, and engineering deliverables. Assist with EPC contract administration throughout project execution. Collaborate across technical, commercial, and construction teams to resolve issues and maintain project momentum. Manage Cost, Schedule & Project Controls Monitor project budgets, purchase orders, invoices, and financial performance. Coordinate procurement activities and critical equipment deliveries.
