Additional Information

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. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation. Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We're on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet. Location & Team Gatherings 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. About This Role As part of Intersect's Development Engineering team, you'll lead transportation strategy across a portfolio of large-scale, multi-technology energy projects-ensuring that site access, routing, and infrastructure planning are seamlessly integrated from early development through construction. This role plays a critical part in shaping how complex infrastructure is delivered, bridging engineering, development, and construction teams to translate technical transportation analyses into actionable, buildable solutions. You'll guide transportation planning from initial site evaluation through construction start, managing external consultants, aligning internal stakeholders, and partnering with contractors and public agencies to ensure transportation considerations are fully embedded in project execution. Team Overview This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by translating early-stage project concepts into fully engineered, buildable designs. The Development Engineering team operates at the center of project execution-partnering closely with Development, Construction, and external stakeholders to solve complex technical challenges and enable high-quality, scalable infrastructure delivery. Joining this team means working on first-of-a-kind projects with meaningful impact, while growing alongside a collaborative, forward-thinking group of engineers and builders.
