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 growing fast and so is the infrastructure behind it. As an EHS technician, you'll be at the center of our safety program: on the floor, in the field, and deep in the compliance work that keeps our people safe and our operations running. You'll partner with engineers, production leads, and field crews across Austin and beyond. This role sits inside a high-ownership EHS team where you'll have meaningful responsibility from day one running RCRA hazardous waste programs, owning inspection cycles, responding to incidents, and building the kind of floor-level safety culture that actually has an impact. What You’ll Do - Own day-to-day OSHA, TCEQ, RCRA, EPA, and DOT compliance across our facility and job sites inspections, corrective actions, and program management - Provide active floor and field presence: identify hazards, coach safe behaviors, deliver training, and build a safety culture that works on the line, not just on paper - Manage the full RCRA hazardous waste program storage, labeling, satellite accumulation, drum logs, and coordination with disposal contractors - Respond to EHS incidents and emergencies: activate procedures, collect preliminary findings, and support root cause investigations - Support air permit, SWPPP, and SPCC inspection cycles; develop JHAs and PPE assessments; maintain EHS documentation and databases What You'll Bring - 3+ years of EHS experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or field operations environment - Working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, RCRA hazardous waste requirements, and EPA/TCEQ regulations - Electrical experience required; familiarity with lithium-ion battery storage systems or NFPA 855 is a plus - Hands-on track record in hazardous waste management, emergency response, and exposure monitoring; clear communicator comfortable engaging crews, engineers, and leadership - Forklift-certified (or obtainable within 30 days); valid Texas driver's license About the Team The EHS team exists to make sure that building the grid doesn't cost anyone their health or safety. We work on everything from OSHA compliance and hazardous waste management to battery system safety and emergency response across manufacturing, warehousing, and field installation. We're building programs from the ground up, which means a lot of ownership. If you care about doing EHS work that's operationally grounded and genuinely effective this is the place. Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive. OUR VALUES - 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. - Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results. - Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information. - Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in. - Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things. DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE AT BASE.
