How to apply for Power Developer

About Intersect Power

Intersect Power builds, owns, and operates power generation and data center infrastructure, 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 U.S. projects in development. 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 will help originate and develop utility-scale power and data center projects across the U.S. The work supports Intersect's goal of bringing more generation and data center capacity online faster. You will be part of a small, growth-focused team working on some of the largest energy infrastructure challenges in the country.

A typical day

A typical day may involve coordinating with land, permitting, interconnection, and engineering teams on active projects, plus calls with internal stakeholders and external partners. You may travel to a hub or project site for in-person work. Exact routines depend on the team, so ask about project stages and travel expectations during interviews.

Who Intersect Power is looking for

• Experience developing utility-scale power generation projects, ideally a mix of gas and renewable assets
• Familiarity with site selection, land acquisition, interconnection, permitting, and offtake structures
• Comfort working in a flexible, remote-first environment with travel to quarterly Team Weeks and a nearby hub
• Located within 60 miles of one of Intersect's hubs: SF Bay Area, NYC Metro, Denver, Austin, Calgary, or Toronto
• Track record of moving projects through early-stage development in a fast-moving, high-growth setting

Tips for this application

• Confirm you live within 60 miles of an Intersect hub before applying; state your hub location clearly in your application.
• Name specific power projects you have developed, including technology type (gas, solar, storage), size in MW, and your exact role.
• Reference Intersect's model of co-locating industrial demand with dedicated generation, and explain how your experience fits it.
• Note that Intersect is now a Google subsidiary; mention any experience working within large corporate structures or with hyperscaler data center demand.
• Acknowledge the flexible work model and four annual Team Weeks; show you understand it is not a standard remote role.

What to cover in your cover letter

Describe your hands-on role in developing at least one power or data center project from early stage to a key milestone. Explain your experience with gas and renewable generation, since Intersect pairs both. Show you understand the co-location model of pairing industrial demand with dedicated power. Confirm your hub proximity and willingness to travel for quarterly Team Weeks.

Research before applying

• Study Intersect Power's existing project portfolio, including technology types, sizes, and locations.
• Read about the Google acquisition in March 2026 and what it means for Intersect's growth plans.
• Research the co-location model of pairing data centers with dedicated gas and renewable generation.
• Review the hub locations and Team Week structure to confirm you can meet the location requirement.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• Walk through a power project you developed and the specific milestones you owned.
• How would you approach site selection for a project that co-locates a data center with dedicated gas and renewable generation?
• What is your experience with interconnection queues, and how do you manage timelines in constrained markets?
• How do you structure offtake or power purchase agreements for large industrial or data center loads?
• How would you operate in a fully flexible workplace with four annual Team Weeks and a nearby hub?

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming you live within 60 miles of an Intersect hub, which is a stated requirement.
• Describing power development experience in vague terms without naming projects, MW sizes, or technologies.
• Treating this as a standard remote role and ignoring the quarterly Team Weeks and hub-based in-person expectations.
