Electrical Supervisor

About the role

Base is looking for an Electrician Supervisor to lead and develop Field Service crews across Chicagoland. 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.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and support electrician and installer crews across the Chicagoland 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.
• Cook up 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.

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 Chicagoland, 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 Chicagoland, this role will also have an opportunity to shape how the team operates as we grow.

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.
