Intersect Energy Development Role

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.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.

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! 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; 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.

As part of Intersect's East Development team, you'll help shape the future of energy across ERCOT by managing the budgets, schedules, and economics that drive successful projects. You'll support the full development lifecycle for solar, storage, wind, and load projects, partnering with specialists across engineering, finance, origination, and real estate.

Your work will balance detail-driven execution with big-picture strategy, ensuring projects move forward on time, on budget, and with strong economic value.

The Development team turns ideas into reality by advancing clean projects from early-stage strategy through to the start of construction. We identify opportunities, secure land and transmission, navigate permitting, and structure the contracts that bring projects to life.
