<h2>About Base</h2>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.<h2>About the Role</h2>Base is looking for an experienced Production Supervisor to help lead our growing manufacturing team. As one of our first supervisors, you will play a key role in establishing the culture for our production floor and ensuring we hit our ambitious growth targets.We are looking for a people-first leader who cares about quality, safety, and scale. You will be responsible for guiding a team of Production Associates, helping them succeed in their daily tasks, and ensuring we build our battery systems to the highest standards. You will work closely with engineering and warehouse teams to maximize output and ensure we successfully hit our production ramp plan.What You’ll Do<ul style=""><li>Support Your Team: Create a positive, safe, and productive work environment.

You’ll make sure your team understands the “why” and that their feedback is heard by the wider company.</li><li>Maintain Standards: Ensure every product leaving your line meets our quality specifications. You’ll help the team understand why quality matters, not just how to do the task.</li><li>Root Cause Analysis: Lead investigations (like the "5 Whys") when issues arise to ensure they don't happen twice. Preventing defects will improve our product and keep pace for our ambitious ramp plan.</li><li>Organization (5S): Champion a clean and organized workspace. A high-output line requires an orderly environment to function at peak capacity.</li><li>Maximize Throughput: You and your team are responsible for hitting daily and weekly production targets. You’ll monitor the line constantly to identify bottlenecks and re-allocate resources to keep the product moving.</li><li>Execute the Ramp: Work hand-in-hand with leadership to execute our production ramp plan.

We are the final and most critical step in the value chain; while others design the blueprints, we build the reliable hardware that ensures a family never loses power during a grid failure. Our challenge is uniquely high-impact because we are currently opening multiple new factories and growing our team exponentially to meet unprecedented demand. For an exceptional leader, this is a rare opportunity to move past maintaining existing systems and instead build the foundational manufacturing culture of a company that is fundamentally redesigning the American power grid.Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly.
