Field Engineer - Power Infrastructure

Location & Team Gatherings

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work‑from‑home, hybrid, or in‑office – we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations – SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY;
Denver, CO;
Houston, TX;
Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in‑person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

As part of Intersect’s Engineering & Project Execution organization, you’ll help ensure that complex large‑scale infrastructure projects move from design to energized operation with clarity, precision, and technical excellence. You’ll serve as the primary technical presence in the field, connecting our remote engineering teams with EPC partners, utilities, and onsite construction crews.

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, with close coordination with the Engineering team leads, as well as the Construction and Quality teams. You’ll help deliver consistent, safe, high‑quality project execution by overseeing commissioning activities, troubleshooting system issues, validating performance, and ensuring the design intent is implemented accurately across multiple project sites. This role requires frequent travel, problem‑solving autonomy, and a strong ability to coordinate with diverse technical and construction stakeholders.

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the energy transition by ensuring that every project is built, commissioned, and energized to the highest technical and safety standards. Working at the intersection of engineering, construction, operations, and quality, the team provides the field‑level expertise that turns designs into operational assets. Team members gain deep exposure to complex power systems, cross‑functional collaboration, and hands‑on infrastructure delivery while shaping execution excellence across Intersect’s portfolio.

• Perform and oversee field acceptance testing and commissioning activities from mechanical completion through substantial completion.
• Support equipment startup, functional testing, and technical validation of performance for electrical and control systems.
• Coordinate energization activities with utilities, EPC partners, and the project execution team, including substation cutovers.

• Act as the primary technical liaison between engineering, construction, and quality teams to resolve field issues quickly and accurately.
• Provide oversight for redlines, as‑built documentation, and engineering‑related change requests to maintain alignment with design intent.
• Perform field investigation and root‑cause analysis for HV equipment trips, protection misoperations, SCADA issues, and balance‑of‑plant interfaces.

• Standardize, document, and refine field processes, checklists, and turnover protocols to improve execution consistency across project sites.
• Provide hands‑on maintenance and troubleshooting for metrology systems and engineering testing equipment.

• Partner with HSE, Quality, and Operations teams to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient field execution.
• Travel to multiple sites to provide technical support, onsite oversight, and coordination with EPC and vendor partners.

• Technical proficiency in electrical engineering, power systems, and commissioning practices.
• Experience working with high‑voltage, medium‑voltage, and/or low‑voltage equipment and commissioning workflows.
• Working knowledge of utility interconnection requirements and substation commissioning standards.
• Ability to interpret and troubleshoot relay trip events, logic diagrams, coordination studies, and protection schemes…
