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. Location &amp; 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; 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.<div> </div>About this role As a Project Manager - Natural Gas Projects on Intersect's Datacenters and Fuels / Natural Gas Power Projects team, you'll lead the execution of critical power generation and energy infrastructure projects at the convergence of electrification, digitalization, and decarbonization. Acting as the owner's representative across the project lifecycle, you'll guide complex natural gas-fired facilities—including reciprocating engine plants, gas turbine facilities, HV switchyards, substations, BESS, and large-scale data center power infrastructure—from development through commissioning and commercial operation. Engineering oversight and technical judgment are central to this position. You will apply engineering principles to review technical designs, evaluate equipment and EPC contractor proposals, and resolve complex field and design issues while driving safety, quality, schedule, and budget performance. Team overview This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by delivering reliable, dispatchable power infrastructure that supports large-scale digital and electrical loads. The Datacenters and Fuels / Natural Gas Power Projects team partners across engineering, construction, commercial, and operations to execute resilient generation assets from initial design through commercial handover.
