How to apply for Power Developer

About Intersect Power

Intersect Power builds, owns, 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 runs as an independent subsidiary, with multiple gigawatts of projects under development 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 a power developer, you would help originate, develop, and construct utility-scale power and data center projects that pair generation with industrial load. The role sits at the center of Intersect's growth plan, which is to bring more data center and generation capacity online faster. You would work across gas and renewable generation assets in a company scaling multiple gigawatts.

A typical day

A typical day could involve working on project siting, permitting, or interconnection tasks for one or more gigawatt-scale power and data center projects. You might coordinate with internal teams and external stakeholders, and on some days join hub or Team Week gatherings. Exact routines depend on the team, so ask about daily workflows and project assignments during interviews.

Who Intersect Power is looking for

• Has experience developing utility-scale power projects, including siting, permitting, interconnection, or offtake.
• Understands both gas and renewable generation and how to co-locate them with large industrial or data center loads.
• Can manage multiple projects and stakeholders across development, construction, and operations.
• Is based within 60 miles of a hub: SF Bay Area, NYC metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, or Toronto.
• Is comfortable in a flexible workplace that mixes remote work with four annual Team Weeks and local hub gatherings.

Tips for this application

• State your hub location and distance from it in your resume or cover letter, since Intersect only considers candidates within 60 miles of a listed hub.
• Highlight any project experience with co-located generation and load, data centers, or gas and renewable power development.
• Use concrete numbers for project size, capacity (MW or GW), budget, or timeline to show scale.
• Reference Intersect's Google acquisition and independent subsidiary status to show you understand the current structure.
• Note your availability for four annual Team Weeks and regular hub gatherings, since the company is explicit about in-person connection.

What to cover in your cover letter

Explain why co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable generation interests you. Describe a specific power or data center project you developed and your role in it. Show that you understand Intersect's flexible-work model and hub locations, and confirm you are within 60 miles of one. Connect your experience to the goal of bringing more data center and generation capacity online faster.

Research before applying

• Read Intersect Power's project portfolio and any public information on its co-located power and data center model.
• Look up the March 2026 Google acquisition and what it means for Intersect operating as an independent subsidiary.
• Find the nearest hub location to you and confirm you are within 60 miles before applying.
• Research the U.S. power and data center development market, including gas and renewable generation trends.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a power or data center project you developed from siting through construction.
• How would you approach co-locating a data center load with dedicated gas and renewable generation?
• What do you know about Intersect's projects and its March 2026 acquisition by Google?
• How do you manage permitting, interconnection, and offtake timelines across multiple gigawatt-scale projects?
• How do you work in a fully flexible model with four annual Team Weeks and hub gatherings?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you live within 60 miles of a hub, which is a stated requirement.
• Using generic language about clean energy without showing specific power or data center development experience.
• Ignoring the flexible-work model and four annual Team Weeks, which are central to how Intersect operates.
