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 Campus Project Director on Intersect's Construction team, you'll oversee the complete execution and delivery of multi-facility clean energy campuses designed to power Google data centers. You will lead complex, multi-technology buildouts encompassing utility-scale solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and high-voltage substation and transmission infrastructure, serving as the single point of accountability for site performance, vendor integration, and executive reporting.

You will collaborate closely with internal engineering, procurement, asset management, and executive leadership, as well as external EPC partners and hyperscale client stakeholders. By deploying modern construction management platforms and leveraging clear, strategic communication, you'll drive operational excellence while ensuring safety and quality standards across all sites.

Team overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Construction team partners across development, engineering, procurement, and operations to build resilient, gigawatt-scale power infrastructure that energizes critical digital infrastructure. Joining this team means directing high-impact energy campuses from earthworks to commercial operation, shaping how clean energy powers the future of computing while growing alongside a dedicated group of industry leaders.

What you'll do

Direct Multi-Technology Campus Execution

• Lead end-to-end site delivery for multi-facility energy campuses combining solar, wind, BESS, and high-voltage transmission scope.
• Manage and mentor Campus Project Managers, serving as their primary escalation point and holding overall accountability for the success of the campus as a whole.
• Establish site governance, schedule baselines, and budget oversight across simultaneous project builds powering Google data center infrastructure.
• Incorporate advanced field management tools, including Terabase Construct and AI Clearing, to track site progress, optimize craft sequencing, and ensure quality.

Drive High-Voltage Integration and Technical Compliance

• Oversee the seamless integration of high-voltage substations, interconnection facilities, and generation assets into active grid and off-grid interconnections.
• Troubleshoot complex engineering, procurement, and field bottlenecks alongside technical experts to maintain strict commercial operation timelines.
• Evaluate natural gas power integration options where applicable to enhance campus resilience and microgrid performance.

Lead Executive Communication and Strategic Stakeholder Alignment

• Synthesize high-density technical, financial, and schedule data into executive-ready slide decks for leadership and key off-taker stakeholders.
• Deliver regular strategic briefings to executive leadership detailing campus health, risk contingencies, and critical path milestones.
• Maintain strong working relationships with EPC firms, key equipment vendors, utilities, and local regulatory authorities.

Strengthen Safety, Cost, and Operational Culture

• Enforce rigorous safety programs across all campus sites, cultivating an environment that prioritizes total personnel well-being.
• Manage financial workflows using Stampli and internal financial tools to control capital expenditure, change orders, and contract compliance.
• Utilize generative AI platforms such as Claude and Gemini to streamline reporting workflows, executive briefing prep, and team documentation.
