You’ll drive utility interconnection, optimize substation and transmission designs, and support projects from early development through financing, construction, and commissioning. Beyond project delivery, you’ll also provide ongoing technical support to Operations, ensuring assets perform reliably throughout their lifecycle. This is a highly cross-functional role, requiring close collaboration with Development, Permitting, Construction, Finance, Operations, and external EPCs, utilities, and consultants.\nTeam Overview\nThe Engineering team ensures Intersect’s energy projects are technically sound, cost-optimized, and built for long-term reliability. We develop standards, review designs, and coordinate across functions to bring complex clean energy facilities online at scale. By bridging technical expertise with project execution, we help Intersect accelerate deployment while meeting the highest safety, quality, and performance standards. Joining this team means shaping the backbone of our power infrastructure and driving the interconnection of next-generation energy projects.\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead HV & MV Design\nDevelop and review preliminary HV transmission and substation designs, as well as MV distribution designs and single-line diagrams\n\nCollaborate with EPCs, engineers of record, and external consultants to optimize facility design and execution\n\nMaintain and improve internal design tools for engineering analysis and calculation\n\nDrive Utility Interconnection\nParticipate in recurring meetings with utilities to advance interconnection discussions from development through commissioning\n\nSupport preparation and review of interconnection applications and dynamic models to ensure accuracy and compliance\n\nServe as a technical lead for Independent Engineer (IE) diligence and project financing reviews\n\nBuild Standards & Technical Excellence\nDevelop and maintain technical specifications, design criteria, standards, and EPC technical exhibits\n\nReview vendor specifications, testing protocols, and commercial agreements to ensure alignment with project requirements and cost optimization\n\nSupport EPC RFPs to ensure technical requirements are clearly defined and competitive\n\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nWork with Development, Land, Permitting, Construction, and Operations teams to ensure seamless project delivery\n\nResolve regulatory, permitting, and technical challenges with a focus on cost, schedule, and quality\n\nChampion high standards of safety, environmental stewardship, and constructability across all engineering activities\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\n8-10 years total, including >= 4 years in clean energy project development (interconnection, owner’s engineering/IE oversight, EPC management, commercial negotiations) and >= 4 years leading HV substation/collector desig n (345-500 kV) at a developer, IE/OE, or EPC, delivered ≥3 utility-scale projects through energization; led cross-functional teams and external consultants/contractors.\n\nStrong understanding of HV transmission, substation equipment, MV distribution, metering, relaying, and SCADA/plant controllers\n\nTechnical expertise in power system design, optimization, and studies\n\nExperience managing interconnection study processes in ERCOT and CAISO, with the ability to review and challenge study results\n\nAdvanced knowledge of steady-state modeling tools such as ETAP, SKP, or DigSILENT\n\nHands-on experience collaborating with EPCs and utilities during design and construction phases\n\nStrong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to drive multiple projects in parallel\n\nSolid Excel skills and familiarity with system design trade-offs, cost drivers, and construction challenges\n\nExperience creating specifications and designs for HV transmission and substation equipment, or managing contracting/construction of HV facilities\n\nSuccessfully advanced 5+ projects through CAISO, ERCOT, or SPP interconnection processes, ideally across multiple markets and through implementation (pre-EPC through COD)\n\nProven ability to lead preparation and review of interconnection applications and dynamic models for utility-scale projects","description_format":"text","description_chars":4365,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Power Grid","Energy Storage","Data Centers & Colocation","Solar Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T22:38:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.494,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":311,"expected_fill_days":98,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/intersect-high-voltage-power-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/intersect-high-voltage-power-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T00:14:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":385,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":24472},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=24472"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fintersect-high-voltage-power-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fintersect-high-voltage-power-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fintersect-high-voltage-power-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/intersect-high-voltage-power-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fintersect-high-voltage-power-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":386656}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"intersect.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":386656},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
