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 scaling the future of energy, and we’re looking for a Journeyman Electrician who thrives in the field. You will be on‑site daily—pulling wire, opening panels, troubleshooting real problems, and setting the standard through action. You are the technical backbone of our Austin, TX battery fleet. While you’ll guide others, your primary value comes from doing the work yourself and doing it right.

What You’ll Do

• Hands‑On System Diagnostics: Personally troubleshoot and repair complex electrical and battery system failures in the field.
• Quality & Compliance: Perform rework to ensure installs pass inspection and meet internal quality benchmarks.
• On‑Site Authority Representation: Meet inspectors and AHJs in the field, walk installs with them, and resolve issues in real time.
• Crew Mentorship: Onboard and provide hands‑on training for new installation crews to maintain high performance.
• Expert Oversight: Maintain deep mastery of Base hardware, NEC Codes, and general electrical principles.
• Emergent Support: Participate in a scheduled on‑call rotation to address urgent night/weekend electrical issues.

What You’ll Bring

• Credentials: Valid Residential Wireman or Journeyman Electrician license.
• Experience: 4+ years of relevant electrical work, specifically with battery backups, EV chargers, or whole‑home generators.
• Mindset: A “fix‑it‑right‑the‑first‑time” attitude and the ability to explain technical concepts to both crews and inspectors.
• Communication: Ability to clearly explain work and corrections to installers, inspectors, and homeowners.

Benefits

• Wireman: $32/hr – $37/hr.
• Journeyman: $37/hr – $39/hr.
• Advance your career: enjoy competitive compensation, benefits, and clear opportunities for professional growth.

About This Team

The Installers team is a fast‑moving group of problem‑solvers who believe great systems are built in the field—not on paper. We value people who show up, take ownership, and do the hard work day in and day out. As part of the Austin, TX team, you’ll bridge engineering intent with real‑world execution, ensuring every Base installation sets the bar for the industry.

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.
