The ideal candidate brings a builder’s mindset-someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, embraces our mission to create energy abundance, and knows how to turn vision into reality through disciplined execution and strong leadership.

- Availability to onboard, train, and observe battery system installation near Base’s manufacturing & operations HQ in Austin, Texas. We anticipate this in person onboarding to take around 30 days
About Base
Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization-electricity-by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About this Team
The Field Operations team serves as the tactical engine of Base’s mission, solving the "last mile" challenge of grid modernization by physically integrating distributed storage systems into aging infrastructure.
As the leader of our inaugural Northern Illinois unit, you will not only execute installations but will define the operational playbook for a critical new market, bridging the gap between cutting-edge hardware and rigorous electrical codes. This work goes beyond standard electrical service; you are establishing the safety and quality benchmarks that will allow us to scale a decentralized power network across the Midwest.
We are looking for an electrician who is ready to transition from maintaining the status quo to architecting the workforce that secures the future of American energy.
