About The Position

As a Power Developer on Intersect's Development team, you'll drive the strategy, commercial structuring, and development execution of utility-scale wind, solar, storage, natural gas, and load projects across key energy markets.

Partnering closely with internal SMEs and external stakeholders, you'll solve complex development challenges to deliver de-risked, high-impact assets that generate long-run value.

The Development team acts as the central engine for growth, identifying high-value regional opportunities and transforming land, load demand, and market signals into fully operational, utility-scale power infrastructure. Joining this team means taking end-to-end ownership of complex energy assets while collaborating with industry experts in an agile, high-trust environment.

• Deep understanding of ISO/RTO interconnection processes, environmental permitting gates, land control structures, and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
• Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams through critical development milestones and high-stakes negotiations.
• Strong alignment with Intersect's core values of Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.

Responsibilities

• Drive End-to-End Project Development Strategy: Lead utility-scale wind, solar, storage, natural gas, and load projects through every stage of development, from initial market entry and strategy to construction handover.
