How to apply for High Voltage Project Manager, Construction

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

This role manages high voltage construction for utility-scale power and data center projects. You will oversee the build of HV infrastructure that connects generation to industrial demand, which is central to Intersect's model of bringing data center and generation capacity online faster. The work spans multiple gigawatts of active projects across the U.S.

A typical day

A typical day may involve coordinating with contractors and site teams on HV construction progress, reviewing schedules and RFIs, and resolving field issues across one or more gigawatt-scale projects. You would balance remote work with travel to project sites and in-person connection through Team Weeks and hub gatherings. Exact routines depend on project phase; ask about the current project pipeline and travel expectations during interviews.

Who Intersect Power is looking for

• Has direct experience managing high voltage construction on utility-scale generation, substation, or transmission projects.
• Has run projects from early construction through energization and commissioning, including contractor and schedule oversight.
• Can work remotely while staying connected through four annual Team Weeks and hub-based in-person gatherings.
• Lives within 60 miles of a listed hub: SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, or Toronto.
• Is comfortable with aggressive growth timelines and multiple concurrent projects across different U.S. regions.

Tips for this application

• Confirm your location is within 60 miles of a listed hub before applying. This is a stated requirement, not a preference.
• Name the specific HV voltage classes, project sizes in MW or GW, and equipment you have managed (substations, transmission lines, switchyards) in your resume.
• Reference Intersect's co-location model of pairing industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable generation in your materials, since HV work here directly supports that model.
• Note your experience with the Google acquisition context only if relevant to your work; the company operates as an independent subsidiary.
• Show you can work in a fully flexible setup by giving examples of managing construction across remote teams and site locations.

What to cover in your cover letter

Highlight your track record managing high voltage construction on utility-scale projects, including voltage levels and project scale. Explain how your construction management approach fits a company building both generation and data center infrastructure at gigawatt scale. Address your ability to work remotely while participating in four annual Team Weeks and hub gatherings. Connect your experience to Intersect's goal of bringing capacity online faster through co-located industrial demand and dedicated generation.

Research before applying

• Review Intersect Power's project portfolio and co-location model on their website to understand how generation and data center demand are paired.
• Read about the Google acquisition in March 2026 and what it means for Intersect operating as an independent subsidiary.
• Look into the hub locations (SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, Toronto) and the Team Week format to understand the flexible work model.
• Find public information on Intersect's active and announced gigawatt-scale projects in the U.S. to speak to specific projects in your application.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How you have managed HV construction scope, schedule, and contractors on a utility-scale project from start to energization.
• Your approach to coordinating HV construction when generation and data center infrastructure are built together on one site.
• How you handle multiple concurrent projects across different U.S. regions while working remotely.
• Your experience with the specific HV equipment and voltage classes used in utility-scale power and data center projects.
• How you would work within a fully flexible company that relies on four annual Team Weeks and hub-based gatherings for in-person connection.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without checking the 60-mile hub radius requirement. This is a stated location condition.
• Submitting a generic construction resume that does not name HV voltage classes, substation or transmission work, or project scale.
• Ignoring the company's co-location model and treating this as a standard renewables construction role.
