About the company:

Base is building the future of American power.

The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. But it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. 

Join us.

  • Strong understanding of electrical codes and installation best practices.

  • Proficiency in interpreting technical drawings and creating detailed diagrams.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective customer interaction.

  • Experience conducting in-person site surveys.

  • Knowledge of specific local electrical codes and permitting processes.

  • Familiarity with project management principles.

Our Values

  • First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.

  • Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.

  • Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
