🏢 About Intersect Power

Intersect Power is unique as a mission-driven clean energy company recently acquired by Google (announced December 2025) while maintaining operational independence under its own brand. This creates an exciting hybrid: the agility and purpose of a renewable energy startup combined with Google's resources and scale. They're tackling ambitious power and data infrastructure projects with a team culture described as 'friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet.'

About This Role

As an Associate Project Manager for Solar Construction, you'll help manage the development and construction of large-scale solar projects that power data centers and other infrastructure. This role is impactful because you'll directly contribute to accelerating clean energy deployment during a period of aggressive growth following Google's acquisition. You'll be part of bringing 'the most ambitious power and data infrastructure in the country' online faster.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with solar construction teams remotely, managing project timelines to accelerate deployment, and collaborating with both energy and technology stakeholders. You'll balance traditional construction management with the unique demands of supporting data center infrastructure while ensuring projects align with Intersect's mission and aggressive growth goals.
