Gas Commissioning Lead

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 The Gas Commissioning Lead is a high-level technical leader responsible for defining and executing the end-to-end commissioning strategy across a diverse fleet of power generation assets, including large-scale reciprocating engine plants and gas turbine installations. This role serves as the primary technical authority for gas-fired assets during the transition from engineering through commissioning and into operations. A critical component of this role is upstream influence, ensuring that EPC exhibits, modular designs, and multi-OEM system architectures are optimized for successful field execution, performance validation, and long-term reliability. This role initially reports to the Head of O&M and will transition to report to the Head of Commissioning and Reliability as the organization evolves. What You’ll Do Upstream Design & Multi-OEM Exhibit Review Lead the review and refinement of EPC contract exhibits related to commissioning, performance testing, and mechanical completion, ensuring commissioning-by-phase requirements are clearly defined.

Provide technical guidance on integration challenges across multiple OEM platforms, including reciprocating engines and gas turbines. 3rd Party Oversight & Field Management Direct and manage third-party commissioning teams, defining scope, verifying progress, and ensuring alignment with project schedules. Serve as the primary interface with OEM technical representatives to ensure systems meet performance, heat rate, and emissions guarantees. Ensure full execution of commissioning protocols, from point-to-point checks through full-load and grid compliance testing. Systems Integration & Fuel Infrastructure Coordinate fuel infrastructure readiness, including pipeline lateral integration and first gas events, ensuring gas quality and pressure meet system requirements. Oversee validation of plant-wide control systems, including master plant controllers and hybrid SCADA environments integrating generation and storage assets. Data Hygiene & Reliability Handoff Ensure capture of high-quality commissioning data, including performance curves and baseline operating profiles, to support long-term reliability programs. Lead the technical transition to operations teams, ensuring complete and accurate transfer of documentation, test results, and system configurations. What You’ll Bring 10+ years of experience in power plant commissioning, with direct expertise across reciprocating engines and gas turbine technologies. Demonstrated experience reviewing and refining EPC technical exhibits and performance testing protocols for complex, multi-asset projects. Strong ability to lead third-party teams while providing technical guidance and challenge to upstream engineering and design decisions. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
