- You'll partner closely with Site Operations, Asset Management, Engineering, the Integrated Operations Center (IOC), and external OEMs to deliver safe, efficient, and commercially successful outcomes
- This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by ensuring our operating fleet performs safely, reliably, and efficiently
- The Operations team partners across Engineering, Asset Management, Construction, and Field Operations to deliver operational excellence throughout the lifecycle of our assets
- Joining this team means helping solve complex technical challenges while contributing to projects that directly improve fleet performance, reliability, and long-term value

- Build and maintain critical-path project schedules using tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, or Smartsheet
- Deliver complete execution packages—including schedules, material plans, and safety requirements—to Site and Campus Managers for field execution
- Serve as the operational lead for complex OEM warranty campaigns across the operating fleet
- Coordinate technical documentation required to support warranty claims and commercial recovery efforts alongside the Asset Management team
- Review OEM repair methodologies, schedules, and execution plans to ensure they meet Intersect's technical and safety standards
- Establish processes to accurately track labor, equipment usage, downtime, and other costs that support warranty reimbursement and commercial claims
- Develop strategic pre-work plans for multi-unit outages and large operational campaigns
- Partner with the Integrated Operations Center (IOC) to coordinate curtailment windows, system isolations, and grid-related planning activities
- Collaborate with Central Planning to ensure specialized tools, materials, safety equipment, and long-lead components are available before project mobilization
- Collect and organize as-built documentation, quality records, and project closeout packages following campaign completion
- Partner with CMMS Administration to ensure equipment updates, warranty records, and asset changes are accurately documented within Sitetracker
- Maintain accurate project controls, schedules, documentation, and reporting throughout the project lifecycle
- Build strong partnerships across Operations, Engineering, Asset Management, Planning, and external contractors

- Identify planning risks early and develop mitigation strategies that improve project execution and operational outcomes
Our take
Intersect is expanding access to clean electricity to help drive broad-based decarbonization. The company develops some of the world's largest clean energy resources and delivers these low-carbon solutions to customers around the globe.
Intersect is redefining what it means to be a clean power developer by constantly looking at new industries that it could vertically integrate into, to get closer to its goal of deep decarbonization. The company was born from innovation, conceived as an alternative to the traditional selling of electricity under long term PPA, which is demonstrative of the company’s determination to challenge the status quo and approach projects at scale without destroying value.
Excitingly, Intersect partnered with Google and TPG Rise Climate (TPG) in 2025 to drive the expansion of renewable power and storage solutions for data centers across the US. This collaboration, and the subsequent $4.75 billion sale of Intersect to Google, will deliver gigawatts of new capacity and catalyze a $20B investment in renewable energy infrastructure by the decade's end. With its first co-located clean energy project already in the works and expected to be operation by 2026, Intersect is very much paving the way for a sustainable future in the data center industry.
