## Job description

## 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 ROLE

Base is looking for an Electrician Supervisor to lead and develop Field Service crews across Connecticut. This role will be an important part of Base Power’s expansion beyond Texas and will help establish how we operate, train, and deliver high-quality electrical work in a new market.

As an Electrician Supervisor, you’ll be a hands-on leader responsible for supporting crews in the field, troubleshooting complex electrical issues, maintaining high standards for safety and quality, and helping electricians grow their technical capabilities. You’ll work closely with Field Operations leadership to build strong crews and ensure installations and service work are completed safely, efficiently, and consistently.

The ideal candidate is an experienced electrician and people leader who enjoys being in the field, solving problems, developing others, and building strong processes in a fast-moving environment.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Lead, coach, and support electrician and installer crews across the Connecticut market.
- Supervise the installation and service of residential battery backup systems.
- Provide hands-on technical guidance and support for complex installations and field issues.
- Troubleshoot and diagnose electrical and hardware failures in the field.
- Coordinate and oversee repairs related to inspection failures or installation quality issues.
- Onboard and facilitate training for new electricians, installer crews, and subcontractors.
- Conduct field observations and provide coaching to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and consistency across crews.
- Ensure field work meets Base standards as well as applicable electrical codes and local requirements.
- Partner with inspectors and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to support inspections and resolve field issues.
- Attend and support electrical inspections as needed.
- Become a subject matter expert in Base hardware, installation standards, general electrical principles, and applicable NEC requirements.
- Identify recurring field issues and partner with operations and engineering teams to improve processes, training, and installation standards.

## WHAT YOU’LL BRING

- Experience leading, supervising, or training skilled crews.
- Solid background in—or readiness to master—residential electrical setups, workplace safety standards, and relevant National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
- Ability to troubleshoot complex electrical issues and provide clear technical direction to field teams.
- Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to coach and develop electricians with varying levels of experience.
- Experience with the installation or maintenance of complex systems.
- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where processes and teams are continuing to develop.
- Availability to onboard, train, and observe battery system installations near Base’s manufacturing and operations headquarters in Austin, Texas. We anticipate in-person onboarding to take approximately 30 days.

## ABOUT THE TEAM

The Field Operations team is responsible for bringing Base’s battery systems into customers’ homes safely, efficiently, and at scale. Our electricians and installers are the teams in the field making that happen every day.

As an Electrician Supervisor in Connecticut, you’ll help build and develop the crews responsible for launching and growing one of Base’s newest markets. You’ll spend significant time in the field coaching electricians, solving technical problems, reinforcing safety and quality standards, and making sure our teams have what they need to succeed.

Because we’re still building our operations in Connecticut, this role will also have an opportunity to shape how the team operates as we grow. We’re looking for someone who combines strong electrical expertise with hands-on leadership and is excited to build a high-performing field organization from the ground up.

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.

## OUR VALUES

- First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
- Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
- Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
- Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
- Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
- Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
- Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE AT BASE.

## About Base Power Company

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Base Power is a technology-driven energy provider deploying a network of distributed home batteries in Texas to provide reliable, affordable backup power and grid-balancing services.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $1.3B+ raised to date)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Zach Dell (CEO & Co-Founder), Justin Lopas (COO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Energy Technology (Energy-as-a-Service, Grid Storage, Distributed Energy)
- **Target customers**: B2C (Texas homeowners), B2G (grid operators / ERCOT)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build the future of American power." — The company aims to protect American families from outages, strengthen the aging U.S. grid, and move toward energy abundance by deploying a large-scale network of home batteries.

## Products & Services
- **Home Battery + Energy Membership**: A vertically integrated service where Base installs a large battery (25–50 kWh) at a customer's home for a low one-time fee ($695–$995). Customers pay a fixed energy rate (8–4¢/kWh) and a small monthly membership ($19–$29/mo). Base earns revenue from the grid (grid-balancing services), not from customer bills, enabling rates legally guaranteed to stay below market average. The system provides whole-home backup, protecting against 97% of outages.
- **Grid Services Platform**: Proprietary software that orchestrates the distributed battery network — charging when demand is low and discharging when the grid needs support — generating revenue and grid resilience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (Private company with $1.3B+ total funding)
- **Key Metric (Funding)**:
  - **Series A** (May 2024): $68M led by Thrive Capital
  - **Series B** (April 2025): $200M led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, and others
  - **Series C** (November 2025): $1.0B from 26 investors
  - **Total raised**: ~$1.27B (converted from 1,268,000,000)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Thrive Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz (also key talent source: 42 former Tesla employees, 6 from SpaceX, 4 from Anduril Industries)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - **Headcount**: 266 (as of mid-2026), with **+186.4% YoY growth** and a rapid monthly growth rate of +12.6%
  - Named one of **TIME's 10 most influential energy companies of 2026**
  - Operating in 5 countries (primarily US, with presence in Canada, Philippines, France, India)
  - 100+ active job postings with +104% increase YoY
  - 12,500+ batteries installed; serving thousands of monthly customers
  - CEO cited in the careers page as saying the company has 400+ team members ("400+" likely includes contractors and field installation/service workforce)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertically Integrated Model**: Base designs, manufactures, and installs every battery system itself, controlling the full stack from hardware through software to field operations.
- **Unique Business Model / No-Customer-Profit**: Base earns revenue from grid balancing, not from customer energy bills. This allows guaranteed-below-market rates and a low-cost battery membership, making it dramatically cheaper than competitors (e.g., Tesla Powerwall equivalents).
- **Strong Investor and Talent Backing**: World-class VC backing combined with a heavy talent influx from Tesla, SpaceX, and Anduril (companies known for high-velocity hardware/software execution).
- **Massive Capital Advantage**: $1B+ Series C provides a significant moat for scaling hardware production, dealer network, and software.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale distribution in Texas**: Continue deploying home batteries at a rapid pace across Texas, entering new zip codes and neighborhoods.
- **Grid partnership expansion**: Deepen relationships with ERCOT to expand the value of grid-balancing services.
- **Product development**: Improve battery technology (safety, capacity, cost), increase whole-home backup coverage (currently 97%), and develop new hardware/firmware generations.
- **Geographic expansion**: potential to move beyond Texas into other states (currently operating in 5 countries for support functions, but service is Texas-focused).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as "intense, fast-paced, and deeply mission-driven." The company demands high output, ownership, and a bias toward action. It's explicitly stated as "not for everyone, and that's by design." This is a high-ownership, low-ambiguity environment.
- **Work Model**: **On-site at Base HQ in Austin, Texas.** Proximity to the product and team is central to how they move fast. "Do I need to be based in Texas? Yes."
- **Hiring Speed**: Fast process — aim for 1st conversation to offer in ~2 weeks.
- **Interview Process**: 3-4 hour on-site including technical assessments and behavioral/team conversations. Focus on "how [you] approach problems, communicate tradeoffs, and collaborate."
- **Non-traditional backgrounds**: Explicitly welcome: "We care about what you've built and how you think, not the logos on your resume. Some of our best people came from non-traditional paths."
- **Engineering Culture**: Heavy focus on hardware + software + field operations. Talent sources heavily from Tesla, Anduril, SpaceX — firms known for hardcore engineering and manufacturing excellence. Roles span hardware engineering, firmware, software, manufacturing, field installation/service, operations, growth, and design.
- **Team Composition**: ~29% of employees are in technical roles; ~15% in operations; significant representation of trades workers (11).
- **Notable Perks**: Opportunity to work on physical infrastructure deployed at scale; chance to contribute meaningfully to grid modernization and American energy resilience.
