What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Engineer (Deployments) position at Base Power Company?
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 a Deployment Engineer to architect the process for rapid deployments of hardware throughout the state of Texas. This pivotal role is focused on ensuring a positive customer experience and increased uptime of battery systems.
What You'll Do
Deployment Engineering is responsible for building and scaling how Base Power deploys batteries across Texas. This team sits at the intersection of operations, engineering, and external partners—owning the systems, processes, and playbooks that enable fast, high-quality installations at scale.
They focus on turning complex, hands-on field work into repeatable, efficient operations—partnering closely with contractors, internal teams, and new markets to ensure consistency and reliability. From launching new metros to improving uptime and customer experience, their work directly impacts how quickly and effectively we grow.
This is a team for builders—people who enjoy creating structure from scratch, solving operational challenges, and designing systems that scale.
