Intersect Power is unique as a mission-driven clean energy company recently acquired by Google (announced December 2025), operating independently under its own brand while leveraging Google's resources to accelerate ambitious power and data infrastructure projects. The company combines startup agility with tech giant backing, focusing on scalable low-carbon solutions for retail and wholesale energy markets. This creates an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of renewable energy and cutting-edge technology infrastructure.

About This Role

As Wind Project Engineer Lead, you'll oversee the technical development and execution of wind energy projects, ensuring they meet aggressive growth targets while maintaining quality and innovation standards. This role is impactful because you'll directly contribute to bringing more clean electricity online faster, supporting both Google's data center expansion and Intersect's mission to preserve the planet through modern energy infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves leading engineering team meetings to advance wind project designs, collaborating with cross-functional teams on development timelines, and troubleshooting technical challenges to keep projects on track for aggressive deployment schedules. You'll balance traditional wind engineering tasks with strategic planning for how projects support both clean energy goals and data center infrastructure needs, often working remotely while coordinating with distributed teams.
