About this role
As a Power Developer on Intersect's Development team, you'll drive the strategy, commercial structuring, and execution of utility-scale clean energy, storage, natural gas, and large-load projects across key U.S. energy markets. You will own projects throughout their full lifecycle-from early-stage siting and commercial strategy through construction handover-by framing critical tradeoffs, managing project economics, and negotiating foundational agreements with external partners.
You will immediately spearhead a high-priority initiative to deploy on-site bridging power solutions across 25+ Google data center sites nationwide, alongside advancing Intersect's core power portfolio. Managing both commercial and technical integration efforts, you will develop natural gas pipeline, battery storage, and power-generation infrastructure that provides reliable alternatives to constrained grid interconnections. This role is planned to start on December 2026, with a training period of 4 weeks to reach full productivity by January 2027.
Team overview
This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Development team acts as the central engine for growth, identifying high-value regional opportunities and transforming land, hyperscale load demand, and market signals into fully operational, utility-scale power infrastructure. Joining this team means taking end-to-end ownership of complex energy assets while collaborating with multidisciplinary industry experts in an agile, high-trust environment.
What you'll do
Execute On-Site Bridge Power and Portfolio Strategy
Build and execute the on-site generation strategy across a nationwide fleet of 25+ data center sites, alongside supporting utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, and natural gas projects from initial market entry to construction handover.
Evaluate site-specific technical and commercial development risks across natural gas supply, BESS sizing, and behind-the-meter integration, framing actionable tradeoffs for senior leadership and investment committees.
Drive Commercial Structuring and Financial Valuation
Own comprehensive financial and valuation models in Excel to evaluate project economics, fuel supply and pipeline cost profiles, equipment procurement, and M&A or commercial transaction structures.
Lead commercial negotiations for key agreements and terms with gas utilities, midstream pipeline operators, power generation OEMs, offtakers, and local authorities.
Lead Technical Integration and Infrastructure Delivery
Manage the commercial and technical convergence of natural gas pipelines, reciprocating engines or turbines, and battery storage systems to meet stringent data center reliability and ramp-rate standards.
Partner with internal engineering teams and external EPCs/OEMs to de-risk behind-the-meter configurations and accelerate time-to-power.
Steer Cross-Functional Governance and Execution
Coordinate multidisciplinary SME teams-including engineering, environmental permitting, gas origination, project finance, and external consultants-to keep aggressive development schedules on track.
Manage day-to-day project budgets, critical-path schedules, and tracking tools to ensure operational discipline and seamless handover to construction.
What you'll bring
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Engineering, or a related discipline.
3-5 years of hands-on experience in project development within the natural gas, oil and gas, or power development sectors; or 3-5 years as a sales or project engineer with a major EPC or power systems OEM (or equivalent experience in energy consulting or investment banking).
Demonstrated expertise building and managing complex project financial models in Excel, structuring commercial deals, and evaluating regional energy and fuel market dynamics.
Working knowledge of natural gas pipeline interconnections, bridge power generation technologies, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and technical integration with large industrial or data center loads.
Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through critical development milestones, tight timelines, and high-stakes commercial negotiations.
An entrepreneurial, problem-solving mindset capable of navigating ambiguity and building repeatable processes across a multi-site national portfolio.
Strong alignment with Intersect's core values of Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.
