Role Summary 

We’re looking for a Deployment Lead who thrives at the intersection of engineering, field operations, and project execution. This is a hands-on, field-forward role ideal for someone with strong intuition for infrastructure deployment. You’ll manage the real-world execution of energy systems, from test labs to full-scale site installations, and own scaling up from initial discrete deployments to a full-scale BESS Deployment Program. 

What You’ll Do 

• Lead deployment operations across multiple test and field sites, coordinating site readiness, installation, and commissioning. 

• Work closely with electrical engineers and the product team to ensure designs are field-feasible and support long-term serviceability. 

• Drive construction and facilities project management—including infrastructure buildouts, power systems, and Grid Scale BESS assemblies. 

• Serve as the link between internal engineering and external contractors, managing schedules, deliverables, and field performance. 

• Develop and own a comprehensive deployment playbook for new products and field rollouts. 

• Manage multiple concurrent projects, including planning, resource allocation, risk management, and troubleshooting. 

• Participate in testing, commissioning, and validation at labs and live sites—often working in a technical capacity. 

• Partner with EPCs (Engineering, Procurement & Construction firms) and general contractors to deliver projects on time and within budget. 

• Contribute to service and maintenance planning for long-term operational success. 

• Perform basic electrical calculations (e.g., current flow, voltage drop) and ensure safe and efficient electrical infrastructure. 

What We’re Looking For 

Top Technical Qualifications: 

• Experience in construction project management and infrastructure deployment. 

• Familiarity with fleet operations, facilities project management, and site coordination. 

• Deep understanding of working with EPCs and large contractors on complex construction projects. 

• Strong hands-on electrical experience—background as an electrician, electrical technician, or test engineer preferred. 

• Ability to read electrical schematics, calculate electrical loads, and interface with electrical design and field engineers. 

• Ability to travel up to 50% of the time and stay on-site for extended periods as needed. 

Additional Skills: 

• Experience in field deployment or operations roles supporting hardware rollouts or energy systems. 

• Comfortable managing moving parts across 3+ concurrent projects in dynamic, resource-constrained environments. 

• Strong lateral leadership—able to pull in and coordinate cross-functional support without formal authority. 

• Familiarity with mechanical or structural field designs—e.g., BESS structural interconnection, site layout. 

• Proficiency in developing operational processes, maintenance plans, and deployment playbooks. 

• A bias for execution, troubleshooting, and iterating with minimal oversight. 

Nice to Have 

• Certifications: OSHA, PMP, Journeyman Electrician License, or similar. 

• Experience working in an early-stage or fast-growth tech environment. 

• Familiarity with service contracts, commissioning protocols, and vendor agreements.
