Alongside major capital project execution-such as our Meitner, Blackwell 1, and Roman 3 developments-you'll also drive strategic, first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technology pilots that integrate natural gas reciprocating engines, gas turbines, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), MV switchgear, power distribution centers (PDCs), and load banks to de-risk gigawatt-scale deployments.\nWe view this role as a direct stepping stone to full Project Manager ownership at Intersect, where ambition and hard work are recognized and rewarded. You'll work directly with senior EPC contractor and OEM vendor leadership to solve technical and commercial challenges, building the track record to independently lead multi-million-dollar capital infrastructure projects.\nTeam overview\nThis team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by engineering and delivering high-reliability power generation and data center infrastructure at scale. The Data Centers and Fuels team bridges utility-scale power generation, microgrids, and advanced energy storage to solve complex electrification and digitalization challenges. Joining this rapidly scaling group means collaborating across engineering, procurement, and construction disciplines, influencing high-visibility capital projects, and rapidly growing your scope toward full project leadership.\nWhat you'll do\nDrive End-to-End Capital Project Execution\nPartner with Project Managers to build and maintain comprehensive project execution plans spanning scope, schedule, budget, and risk registers from development through commercial operations.\n\nCoordinate with internal engineering and external partners to advance FEED studies (FEL 1-3 through IFC), reviewing engineering deliverables, vendor submittals, and construction approaches for natural gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and Balance of Plant (BOP) systems.\n\nSupport the full EPC contract lifecycle and lead day-to-day interface with senior EPC contractor personnel, consultants, and OEM vendors to keep engineering, procurement, and field execution aligned.\n\nLead Technology Pilot Programs and Hardware Integration\nExecute first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technology pilot projects and test facilities designed to validate microgrid control strategies and de-risk commercial deployment for upcoming GW-scale assets.\n\nManage the physical and software integration of complex power hardware, including natural gas reciprocating engines, gas turbines, BESS, MV switchgear, PDCs, load banks, and grid simulators.\n\nDefine pilot success criteria (such as load emulation and grid-forming versus grid-following capabilities) alongside engineering teams, analyzing test outcomes to inform executive scale-up and capital investment decisions.\n\nOwn Cost, Schedule, Procurement, and Change Management\nTrack project financials-including budgets, purchase orders, and invoicing-while driving procurement timelines and expediting critical OEM equipment and BOP materials.\n\nEvaluate contractor change requests, negotiate scope and cost impacts with senior vendor counterparts, and maintain an accurate change log alongside construction documentation (RFIs, submittals, and technical deliverables).\n\nDeliver clear, actionable executive dashboards and milestone status reports that surface critical-path risks and mitigation plans early.\n\nWhat you'll bring\nBachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field.\n\n5+ years of progressive project engineering or project management experience in utility-scale power generation, natural gas power plants, oil & gas, or heavy energy infrastructure, with demonstrated scope ownership.\n\nProven ability to interface credibly and hold your ground with senior EPC contractor and OEM vendor personnel in face-to-face technical and commercial discussions.\n\nHands-on technical familiarity with OEM power generation equipment (gas turbines, natural gas reciprocating engines), Balance of Plant (BOP) systems, MV switchgear, PDCs, load banks, and BESS/microgrid integration.\n\nTrack record of executing across the full project lifecycle-from FEED (FEL 1-3 to IFC) and permitting through EPC contracting, construction administration (RFIs, submittals, change orders), commissioning, and handover across at least two full-lifecycle projects.\n\nA bias for action, strong ownership mentality, and high tolerance for ambiguity when integrating novel power solutions into accelerated capital delivery schedules.\n\nCommitment to safety leadership, quality assurance, and collaborative execution aligned with Intersect's core values of Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4992,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
