Operations Performance Engineer

We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation.

Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.

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;
Austin, 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 Technical Operations team, you'll lead the operational performance of a growing portfolio of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) assets across ERCOT. You'll combine technical expertise with operational ownership to maximize asset availability, ensure market readiness, and deliver the data and insights that support commercial performance.

Working across Operations, Engineering, Asset Management, Finance, EPC partners, OEMs, and Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs), you'll oversee operational reporting, performance analytics, SCADA data quality, ERCOT compliance, and battery operations. Success means translating complex operational data into actionable insights, resolving technical issues before they impact performance, and continuously improving how Intersect monitors and optimizes its fleet.

The Technical Operations team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission by ensuring our operating fleet performs safely, reliably, and efficiently. Partnering across Engineering, Asset Management, Finance, Construction, and Operations, the team leverages data, technology, and technical expertise to maximize asset performance, improve operational excellence, and support long‑term portfolio growth. Joining this team means working on complex technical challenges that directly impact the performance and success of one of the nation's leading clean energy portfolios.
