Assistant Site Manager (Electrical Operations)

Job description

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 & Team Gatherings We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed location. 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. About This Role As part of Intersect’s Operations team, you’ll help ensure the performance, safety, and long-term reliability of utility-scale solar and energy storage assets at the Quantum I/II site. This role blends hands-on fieldwork with technical problem-solving, serving as a critical bridge between on-site operations and centralized Technical Services. You’ll build deep expertise in plant performance, maintenance quality, and contractor oversight while developing the foundational skills to lead a world-class power generation facility. This role is designed as an early-career growth opportunity, with a focus on learning the full scope of site operations—from technical diagnostics to safety leadership and contractor management—while contributing meaningfully to plant reliability from day one. This role is based in Haskell, Texas. Team Overview This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the renewable energy transition. The Operations team ensures that our generation assets perform safely, efficiently, and reliably at scale. By combining technical expertise, data-driven decision-making, and strong field execution, the team maximizes asset performance while continuously improving maintenance strategies across the fleet. Joining this team means working cross-functionally with engineering, technical services, and external partners to deliver real-world impact and build the future of clean energy infrastructure.
