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.

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 a SCADA Engineer in the Control Room on Intersect's Operations team, you'll build and maintain the real-time operational control systems, telemetry pipelines, and SCADA infrastructure that power our utility-scale clean energy fleet. You'll ensure high availability across our solar PV, BESS, and substation assets while managing critical ISO dispatch interfaces, field hardware integration, and OT network security. Partnering closely with asset management, engineering, and field operations, you'll serve as a key technical defender of fleet uptime and operational excellence.

Team Overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Operations team manages, monitors, and optimizes Intersect's growing fleet of utility-scale clean energy assets around the clock. Joining this team means driving operational resilience, shaping enterprise SCADA standards, and collaborating with top-tier technical talent dedicated to long-term reliability and performance.

What You'll Do

Develop and Maintain Enterprise SCADA Platforms

  • Design, build, and maintain enterprise Ignition SCADA HMIs, alarm modules, and control workflows for utility-scale solar PV and BESS facilities.
  • Integrate Canary Labs high-speed time-series historian for real-time archiving, performance trending, and operational analytics.
  • Ensure high system availability, rapid root-cause analysis, and participate in an on-call rotation for forced outages, grid trips, and critical telemetry loss.

Manage ISO Telemetry and Field Hardware Integration

  • Configure, maintain, and validate ICCP (TASE.2), DNP3, Modbus, MQTT (Sparkplug B), and IEC 61850 protocols for RTO/ISO dispatch across ERCOT, CAISO, and PJM.
  • Program, integrate, and troubleshoot SEL RTACs, PLCs, protection relays, and Power Plant Controllers (PPC) across utility assets.
  • Lead commissioning, factory acceptance testing, and point-to-point telemetry validation for new clean energy sites entering real-time operations.

Enforce OT Security and Regulatory Compliance

  • Maintain OT network segmentation according to the Purdue model across fleet control networks, utilizing Palo Alto and Fortinet firewalls.
  • Ensure strict alignment with NERC CIP compliance standards, access control policies, and cybersecurity best practices.
  • Collaborate with internal IT/OT security teams and external vendors to perform system audits, security patching, and firmware updates.

Drive Operational Excellence and Fleet Standards

  • Develop standardized data mapping, HMI templates, and alarm management practices across all operational facilities.
  • Partner with Engineering, Asset Management, and field technicians to optimize control room visibility and real-time response times.

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
  • 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in utility-scale clean energy (solar PV, BESS, or high-voltage substations) within a control room or SCADA engineering environment.
  • Demonstrated expertise developing and maintaining Inductive Automation Ignition SCADA platforms and HMI interfaces.
  • Proven proficiency with industrial communications protocols and ISO telemetry including ICCP, DNP3, Modbus, MQTT (Sparkplug B), and IEC 61850 in ERCOT, CAISO, or PJM markets.
  • Direct experience programming and troubleshooting SEL RTACs, PLCs, protection relays, and Power Plant Controllers.
  • Willingness and ability to participate in an on-call rotation to respond to forced outages, grid trips, and critical telemetry loss.
  • Familiarity with Canary Labs historian integration, Purdue Model OT network segmentation, Palo Alto/Fortinet firewalls, and NERC CIP compliance requirements.
  • Strong technical composure and problem-solving mindset under high-stakes operational pressure.
  • Alignment with Intersect's core values: Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
