How to Apply for Senior Asset Manager

at Intersect Power

🏢 About Intersect Power

Intersect Power stands out as a forward-thinking energy company focused on scalable low-carbon solutions for both retail and wholesale markets, offering clean electricity and fuels. Their commitment to bridging development, construction, and operations for utility-scale assets makes them a key player in the transition to sustainable energy. Working here means contributing directly to impactful projects that shape the future of clean energy infrastructure.

About This Role

As a Senior Asset Manager, you'll own the commercial management and economic performance of utility-scale energy assets across late-stage development, construction, and operations. This role is impactful because you'll translate financial assumptions into strong asset-level outcomes while partnering with cross-functional teams to drive portfolio success. You'll be at the center of ensuring these clean energy projects deliver on their commercial and operational promises.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing real-time performance data from operational assets, analyzing financial model sensitivities for a project in construction, and collaborating with the Legal team on contract amendments. You could spend the afternoon in meetings with Operations to address a commercial issue, then work with Finance to update asset-level forecasts based on market changes.
