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.

Base is looking for a Deployment Operations Specialist to support the complex work of deployment operations as we launch partnerships with new utilities. You’ll support the pipeline, scheduling, and interconnection process that moves partner deals from signed to Permission to Operate (PTO), and you’ll be the day-to-day point of contact for utility partners as we bring new markets online.

The Deployment Operations team builds and runs the processes that turn utility partnerships into successful battery deployment…

What you'd do

1–2 years in operations, program management, or partnerships roles that involved multi-disciplinary collaboration
Experience working with utility companies, interconnection agreements, or in a regulated or deregulated energy market is a plus
Comfortable owning a CRM (HubSpot or similar) as the system of record — clean data in, clean data out
Strong written communicator, comfortable drafting partner-facing emails and materials that leadership can sign off on quickly
Track record of building relationships with external partners and clearing process bottlenecks
Organized and detail-oriented, able to track dozens of deals and approvals in flight without dropping any
Experience in energy, utilities, construction, or field services operations preferred
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.
