Job Description

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 Environmental & Permitting team, you’ll support environmental and permitting compliance, revegetation and restoration, and vegetation management across projects in construction and operations throughout the United States. You’ll play a critical role in advancing and continuously improving Intersect’s Environmental Management System by managing consultants, coordinating with regulators, ensuring permit compliance, and leading project reporting. Your work will involve cross-functional collaboration with EHS, Sustainability, Development, Construction, Operations, Asset Management, Engineering, Finance, Community Engagement, Insurance, and Legal, as well as third-party EPCs and O&M providers.

Team Overview

The Environmental & Permitting team ensures Intersect’s projects are responsibly permitted, executed, and operated. We secure and comply with project authorizations, manage utility development, and uphold environmental standards from development through operations. By working across internal and external stakeholders, the team supports land stewardship, compliance assurance, and operational excellence. Joining this team means you’ll help Intersect deliver clean energy projects that meet the highest regulatory and environmental standards while gaining hands-on experience across the full project lifecycle.
