About this role
As a Power Developer on Intersect's Development team, you'll drive the strategy, commercial structuring, and development execution of utility-scale wind, solar, storage, natural gas, and load projects across key energy markets. You will own projects throughout their full lifecycle-from early-stage strategy through construction handover-by framing key tradeoffs, managing project economics, and negotiating critical commercial agreements. Partnering closely with internal SMEs and external stakeholders, you'll solve complex development challenges to deliver de-risked, high-impact assets that generate long-run value.

Joining this team means taking end-to-end ownership of complex energy assets while collaborating with industry experts in an agile, high-trust environment.
