Power Developer - ERCOT

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 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.

Our work spans multiple technologies and markets, requiring close collaboration with internal experts and external partners alike. Joining this team means contributing to the foundation of Intersect’s growth while building deep expertise in large-scale clean energy development.
