PV Electrical Engineer

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. In December 2025, Google announced an agreement to acquire Intersect, to enable more data center and generation capacity to come online faster while accelerating energy development and innovation. After close, we’ll continue doing exactly what we were built to do - develop, construct, and operate the most ambitious power and data infrastructure in the country. Intersect’s operations will remain separate from Alphabet and Google under the Intersect brand. 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 Position As part of Intersect’s Engineering team, you’ll lead the electrical design and technical oversight of utility-scale PV power plants that power communities and accelerate the clean energy transition. Your expertise in medium-voltage infrastructure, inverter integration, and system performance will directly shape the reliability, safety, and long-term value of our growing portfolio. Planned to start in mid-Q1, this role includes a four-week onboarding and training period, with full productivity expected by mid-Q2. You’ll collaborate closely with Development, Project Finance, EPC partners, and Operations to ensure our projects are engineered to the highest standards — from early-stage design through construction and commissioning. Your work will strengthen Intersect’s position as a leading independent power producer by delivering technically sound, code-compliant, and high-performing solar infrastructure at scale. Team Overview This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by delivering high-quality, utility-scale infrastructure across North America. The Engineering team partners cross-functionally with Development, Finance, Construction, and Operations to ensure every project is designed for reliability, safety, and long-term value. By joining this team, you’ll contribute to complex, high-impact projects while working alongside experienced professionals committed to technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous growth.
