$188.5k - $201.5k

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   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. About this role   As a SCADA Field Engineer on Intersect's Engineering team, you will serve as the essential on-site representative of our centralized engineering organization across utility-scale clean energy facilities. You will partner directly with EPC contractors, commissioning teams, and OEMs to ensure critical SCADA, protection, and automation infrastructure is built, tested, and delivered functionally to specification.   You will act as the crucial technical link connecting active field operations with long-term engineering design, conducting physical inspections, resolving communication discrepancies, and providing ground-truth operational context. This role includes a training period of 4 weeks to reach full productivity.   Team overview   This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Engineering team ensures that our large-scale power infrastructure operates with maximum reliability, safety, and compliance across its entire lifecycle. Joining this team means stepping onto the front lines of high-voltage power automation, solving technical challenges in real time, and growing alongside dedicated engineers committed to operational excellence and long-run value.   What you'll do   Oversee SCADA and Automation System Commissioning <ul style="margin-top: 0px;
