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; Houston, 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 part of Intersect’s Ops Technical Services team, you’ll be the go-to expert for high-voltage systems across our operating fleet. You’ll help keep substations and interconnections running safely, reliably, and in full compliance—while also stepping in with hands-on support when outages, faults, or maintenance events occur. Your expertise will guide root cause analysis, preventive programs, and technical improvements that reduce downtime and strengthen fleet performance. Collaboration is key: you’ll work closely with O&M teams, utilities, contractors, and internal engineering groups to make sure our systems stay strong and scalable.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field—or equivalent experience in HV operations; advanced certifications in HV or power systems are a plus
