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. In December 2025, Google announced an agreement to acquire Intersect, to enable more data center and generation capacity to come online faster while accelerating energy development and innovation. After close, we’ll continue doing exactly what we were built to do - develop, construct, and operate the most ambitious power and data infrastructure in the country.

Intersect’s operations will remain separate from Alphabet and Google under the Intersect brand. 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 part of Intersect’s Construction Project Management team, you’ll lead the delivery of large‑scale high‑voltage substation and transmission line projects across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico supporting infrastructure at voltage levels up to 500kV. This role is responsible for managing complex, cross‑functional execution from detailed design through commissioning and closeout, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget.

You’ll collaborate closely with Development, Engineering, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and Operations while serving as a key interface with utilities. Your leadership will directly support the successful interconnection and energization of critical infrastructure that enables large‑scale power delivery.

Team Overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by delivering complex infrastructure projects that connect generation to the grid. The Construction Project Management team partners across internal departments and external stakeholders to ensure high‑quality, disciplined execution at scale. Joining this team means leading technically sophisticated projects while contributing to a culture grounded in accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

Lead High‑Voltage Project Execution

• Manage the full lifecycle of substation and transmission projects up to 500kV, from engineering and procurement through construction, commissioning, and closeout
• Develop and maintain detailed project schedules aligned with utility and EPC timelines
• Proactively identify risks and implement mitigation strategies to maintain momentum and achieve critical milestones

Manage Utility & EPC Partnerships

• Serve as a primary interface with utilities to ensure compliance with grid operator standards and interconnection requirements
• Oversee three‑way coordination between internal teams, utilities, and EPC contractors to drive aligned execution
• Lead administration of construction contracts, including change orders, RFIs, submittals, and document control

Drive Financial & Contract Discipline

• Manage project budgets, cash flow forecasts, and financial reporting to maintain alignment with approved targets
• Review invoices and change orders in partnership with Finance to ensure accuracy and transparency
• Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, interconnection agreements, and related commercial requirements

Champion Quality, Compliance & Reporting

• Implement quality assurance processes to ensure construction meets technical specifications and regulatory standards
• Maintain comprehensive progress, financial, and risk reports for internal and external stakeholders
• Ensure timely resolution of technical issues and documentation management, including as‑builts and engineering records

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field (Master’s degree preferred)
• 5+ years of experience managing high‑voltage substation and transmission line projects, including experience on projects up to 500kV
• Direct experience working with utilities on interconnection, regulatory, and technical matters
• Strong understanding of utility‑scale transmission infrastructure, EPC contracting models, and high‑voltage equipment
• Knowledge of regulatory frameworks and interconnection processes
• Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, and cross‑functional teams in complex infrastructure environments
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and Slack
• Strong communication and leadership skills that will help you succeed in utility‑facing and cross‑functional environments
• Willingness and ability to travel to project sites and support on‑site execution as needed
