MV Electrical Engineer

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. 

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.

As part of Intersect’s Engineering team, you’ll help design and deliver the medium voltage infrastructure that powers large-scale clean energy projects across the country. Your expertise in MV collection systems, transformer configurations, and grid compliance will directly shape how our projects move from development through construction and into successful operation.

This role is planned to start in mid-Q1, with a training period of 4 weeks to reach full productivity by mid-Q2. You’ll collaborate closely with Development, Engineering, and Construction partners to ensure every project is technically sound, scalable, and aligned with utility and safety requirements. Your work will directly support the successful execution of IPP projects and contribute to long-term infrastructure impact.

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Engineering team translates development vision into buildable, high-performing infrastructure—ensuring projects are safe, reliable, and optimized for long-term value.

By partnering cross-functionally across development, project management, finance, and construction, the team drives technical excellence at scale. Joining this group means working on complex, high-impact energy assets while growing alongside a collaborative team committed to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement.
