About The Position

As a Structural / Civil Engineer on Intersect’s Natural Gas Power Plant (NGPP) Engineering team, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of impactful projects. As a key member of a multi-disciplinary team, you will ensure the technical quality and timely delivery of engineering tasks while developing a strong understanding of owner expectations, project scope, budget, and timelines. You will help advance complex natural gas power plant projects from early feasibility through Issued for Construction (IFC) design. This includes independently owning early-stage civil and structural due diligence, optimizing site layouts, and guiding design elements through key project milestones. In this role, you will collaborate closely with partners across Engineering and Execution, Development, Real Estate, GIS, Permitting, Construction, Finance, and Operations to ensure technical clarity, aligned decision-making, and strong ownership of deliverables. This position reports to the NGPP Engineering Manager and plays a pivotal role in shaping high-quality, technically robust designs. The NGPP Engineering & Execution Team serves as Intersect’s civil and structural engineering subject matter experts and project engineers for data center and natural gas power plant projects. The team manages site design from early diligence through IFC and partners closely with EPCs, consultants, and internal stakeholders to drive efficient, constructible, and cost-optimized layouts. Team members engage in detailed engineering work while applying project management rigor to ensure seamless progression from siting through procurement, construction, and operations. Joining this team means contributing to technical excellence across large-scale power plant projects supporting data center infrastructure.
