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 the Team

The Facilities and Maintenance team is responsible for keeping Base Factory 1 running safely, reliably, and efficiently every hour of every shift. As Base scales production of home battery systems, this team builds the maintenance programs, reliability systems, and facility infrastructure that prevent downtime before it happens and enable manufacturing to meet growing customer demand.

You'll have the opportunity to establish the foundation for a world-class maintenance organization-from preventive maintenance and spare parts strategy to equipment reliability and facility operations-rather than inheriting legacy systems.

If you're excited by the challenge of building systems from the ground up, solving complex operational problems, and seeing the direct impact of your work on production output, quality, and company growth, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a rapidly scaling factory.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
