As part of Intersect’s Engineering team, you’ll shape how wind projects are measured, designed, and optimized from early development through construction and operations. This role delivers high-quality wind resource assessments, turbine layouts, and performance testing plans that directly inform project viability, design decisions, and financing confidence. You’ll partner closely with Development, Engineering, Permitting, Construction, Operations, Procurement, and external EPC and consulting partners to ensure turbine layouts and wind analyses are technically sound, well understood, and aligned with overall project optimization goals. This role balances hands-on technical work with oversight of consultant-led scopes, ensuring the Wind Engineering team fully understands and stands behind every analysis and recommendation.

  • Perform site-level and long-term wind resource assessments, including 8760 development, wind flow modeling, uncertainty analysis, and long-term reference station selection.
  • Stay current on industry best practices for wind measurements, modeling methodologies, and instrumentation.
  • Evaluate wind turbine technologies and support turbine selection based on site conditions and project objectives.
  • Design, optimize, and microsite turbine layouts in collaboration with civil, electrical, EPC, and construction teams, balancing performance, environmental, and constructability constraints.
  • Plan and execute meteorological tower and remote sensing campaigns, including siting strategy and installation coordination.
  • Prepare site condition inputs and interface with turbine supplier engineering teams, including power curve testing coordination.
  • Support permitting, financing, and due diligence by providing wind resource, layout, shadow flicker, noise, avian, and turbine evaluation inputs.
  • Assess capital expenditure sensitivity related to turbine layout, spacing, and design changes.
  • Review balance-of-plant designs with a focus on wind turbine generator optimization and overall project efficiency.
  • Maintain technical ownership of wind resource and layout deliverables, coordinating internal teams and external consultants as appropriate.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Meteorology, or a closely related field.
  • 4+ years of experience performing wind resource assessments and turbine layout design across development through construction phases.
  • Ability to manage wind assessments and layouts while mitigating financial and technical risk through close coordination with civil and electrical subject matter experts.
  • Proficiency with wind resource assessment and wind flow modeling software, including data analysis, MCP, and uncertainty evaluation.
  • Working knowledge of GIS tools for extracting, analyzing, and interpreting project data.
  • Comfort working with Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace, along with cloud-based document management tools.
  • A collaborative, adaptable work style with the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
  • Programming experience (e.g., Python or R) is a plus but not required.
  • 100% premium coverage for you and your dependents on medical, dental, and vision
