How to apply for ERCOT Settlements Lead

About Intersect Power

Intersect Power develops, constructs, and operates power and data center infrastructure by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable generation. It was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary, with multiple gigawatts of projects underway in the U.S. The company has been fully flexible since 2016, with four annual Team Weeks and hub locations in the SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, and Toronto.

About the role

As ERCOT Settlements Lead, you own the settlement process for ERCOT market transactions tied to Intersect's generation and data center projects. This role sits at the point where ERCOT market rules, metering data, and revenue accuracy meet, so errors directly affect project economics. You will likely coordinate with trading, finance, and operations teams to resolve disputes and keep settlement positions correct.

A typical day

A typical day involves reviewing ERCOT settlement statements, reconciling them against metering and interval data, and resolving discrepancies with internal teams or ERCOT. You may also track market rule changes, prepare settlement reports for finance, and coordinate with trading or operations on co-located generation and load positions. Exact routines depend on the team, so ask about daily tools, reporting cadence, and how settlement work is split across the group.

Who Intersect Power is looking for

• Hands-on experience with ERCOT settlement systems, market rules, and dispute resolution processes.
• Comfortable working with large metering and interval data sets, and reconciling them against invoices or settlement statements.
• Able to work independently in a flexible, remote-first environment while staying connected through four annual Team Weeks and hub-based gatherings.
• Located within 60 miles of a listed hub: SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, or Toronto.
• Interest in the intersection of power generation, data centers, and wholesale energy markets.

Tips for this application

• Confirm you live within 60 miles of a listed hub before applying, and state your hub location clearly in your application.
• In your resume, name the specific ERCOT settlement systems and reports you have worked with, such as settlement statements, invoices, or dispute tracking.
• Quantify settlement volumes you have handled, such as number of transactions, MW under settlement, or dollar value reconciled per month.
• Mention any experience with co-located load and generation, since Intersect's model pairs data centers with dedicated gas and renewable power.
• Reference the Google acquisition and independent subsidiary structure only if you can speak to how it affects power market operations or reporting.

What to cover in your cover letter

Explain your direct ERCOT settlement experience and the systems you have used. Describe a specific settlement dispute you resolved and the outcome. Connect your work to Intersect's model of co-locating data center demand with dedicated generation. Confirm your hub location and your ability to attend four annual Team Weeks.

Research before applying

• Read Intersect Power's project portfolio, especially any ERCOT-connected generation or data center projects.
• Review the Google acquisition announcement from March 2026 and how Intersect operates as an independent subsidiary.
• Study current ERCOT settlement rules, recent market notices, and any active protocol changes.
• Check the hub locations and Team Week format to confirm you can meet the location requirement.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through your process for reconciling an ERCOT settlement statement against metering data.
• Describe a settlement dispute you handled and how you resolved it.
• How would you approach settlements for a co-located data center and generation site?
• What ERCOT market rule changes have affected your settlement work in the last two years?
• How do you stay accurate and organized when settlement volumes increase quickly?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you live within 60 miles of a listed hub.
• Describing ERCOT experience in general terms without naming specific settlement systems, reports, or dispute processes.
• Ignoring the co-location model and treating this as a standard generation-only settlement role.
