Manager, MV Collection

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. In December 2025, Google announced an agreement to acquire Intersect, to enable more data center and generation capacity to come online faster while accelerating energy development and innovation. After close, we’ll continue doing exactly what we were built to do - develop, construct, and operate the most ambitious power and data infrastructure in the country.

Intersect’s operations will remain separate from Alphabet and Google under the Intersect brand. 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; 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 Position

The MV Collection Lead owns technical oversight and due diligence for medium-voltage (MV) collection systems across utility-scale PV, BESS, DTC, and Natural Gas projects. This role serves as the company’s go-to expert for MV cable systems and medium-voltage transformers (MVTs)—driving specifications, design reviews, installation quality, testing/commissioning requirements, vendor evaluations, FAT support, and field issue resolution.

What You’ll Do

• Act as the internal SME for MV collection design, construction readiness, and commissioning across Solar, BESS, DTC, and Gas projects.
• Maintain and continuously improve Master specifications, test templates, FAT checklists, installation specs, commissioning checklists, and lessons learned.
• Own MV cable specifications (selection, construction, ratings, installation constraints) and define installation requirements—including terminations and splices, shielding details, and grounding/bonding schemes to ensure constructibility, safety, and long-term reliability
• Own technical requirements for MV cable testing and acceptance and support troubleshooting and corrective actions for MV cable issues
• Own MVT specifications and lead transformer design reviews with OEMs
• Conduct vendor and MVT  technical due diligence and support and/or witness Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and review FAT procedures, and results
• Provide technical oversight during construction and commissioning, including responding to RFIs, punch list support, and root-cause analyses for MV collection equipment issues.
• Provide construction/commissioning readiness input including receiving inspection, oil handling (where applicable), pre-energization checks, and acceptance documentation.
• Coordinate with EPCs, OEMs, cable contractors, third-party test firms, and commissioning teams.

What You’ll Bring

• BS in Electrical Engineering with minimum required experience. Masters or PhD is a plus
• 8+ years of experience in MV collection systems and MV Transformers for utility-scale generation/storage and/or industrial power projects.
• Familiarity with relevant standards and typical utility/EPC practices (examples: IEEE/IEC cable and transformer standards, NETA/ANSI acceptance testing concepts—exact standard set can be tailored to your company preferences).
• Deep expertise in MV cable systems including Cable selection/specification, accessories, splicing/terminations, installation practices, and field acceptance testing.
• Proven expertise in MVT specification and due diligence including Transformer design review participation, submittal evaluation, and FAT involvement.
• Strong knowledge of MV collection construction means/methods and QA/QC practices.
• Working knowledge of applicable IEEE/IEC standards and industry practices for MV cables/transformers
• Familiarity with acceptance testing practices (e.g., NETA-style approaches) and documentation expectations
• Ability to create/maintain specs, test plans, FAT checklists, and inspection/acceptance criteri

Bonus Points

• Ability to write and enforce technical requirements and to resolve field technical issues quickly and pragmatically.
• Comfortable traveling to project sites and vendor facilities for FATs and critical field activities.
