at Intersect Power

🏢 About Intersect Power

Intersect Power stands out by developing scalable low-carbon solutions that serve both retail and wholesale energy markets, offering clean electricity and fuels. Their focus on integrating multiple technologies (wind, solar PV, BESS, gas, and data centers) makes them a unique player in the renewable energy space, particularly for someone interested in complex, multi-technology EPC procurement.

About This Role

This Wind/Solar EPC Procurement role involves structuring, negotiating, and executing EPC contracts for utility-scale energy projects, with a strong emphasis on wind experience. You'll manage the full lifecycle of RFPs and post-contract activities, directly impacting project cost, schedule, and performance objectives at a company focused on scalable clean energy solutions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing EPC contract terms for a wind project, coordinating with technical teams on scope requirements, and leading commercial evaluations of contractor proposals. You'd likely spend time building relationships with key suppliers while managing post-contract activities like warranty considerations for ongoing projects.
