About This Critical Support to the Flight Test Team
The Flight Test team has the critical task of testing the new and existing systems we build and operate in order to ensure that we are developing safe and reliable systems. This may include preflighting and launching aircraft, doing repair and maintenance work on aircraft and ground systems, and performing tests on new hardware and software. The flight test team conducts scaled operations at a primary test facility, but performs targeted testing at several other locations in Northern California.
This role reports directly to the Head of Test Sites as the team works together to ensure the success of all of our stakeholders and our electrical site infrastructure. As a member of this team, you will play a crucial role in managing and coordinating various aspects of the electrical site infrastructure. The primary responsibility is to ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of the workplace by overseeing electrical installations and upgrades, maintenance, operations, security, and services.
About You and The Role
As the Lead Electrician, you will have the important responsibility of serving as the point of contact for all electrical site infrastructure including upgrades, repairs, maintenance activities, renovations, and vendor oversight at Zipline’s flight test locations. You will be based out of Zipline’s primary test facility, but support several other small scale test locations through the Northern California region with intermittent travel to other sites.
You will be performing electrical installation, construction and upgrade works personally in accordance with all relevant standards and codes, and manage subcontractors performing similar works ensuring a high standard for quality, cost and workmanship. Additionally you will be responsible for conducting regular inspections to identify potential maintenance needs and recommend necessary improvements. You will be a key partner working directly with the relevant internal engineering teams and will have a mandate to provide feedback on the electrical approaches Zipline uses. You will also be responsible for general ownership of the electrical infrastructure at our test sites; maintaining up to date electrical single line diagrams and as-built documentation, owning the general electrical operations and safety processes, and associated internal workflows. Your work will directly affect Zipline’s ability to improve and expand our service to people and communities across the world.
This is an in-person role, servicing our testing facilities in Esparto, South San Francisco, and occasionally in Half Moon Bay, California. This role is well suited to an experienced Journeyman / Journeywoman who still wants to make a hands-on contribution but is looking for more opportunities to expand their skill set, manage contractors and generally increase their organizational impact.
What You'll Do
- Performing electrical installation, construction and upgrade works personally in accordance with all relevant standards and codes
- Manage subcontractors performing electrical installation, construction and upgrade works ensuring a high standard for quality, cost and workmanship.
- Coordinate and schedule routine maintenance activities, repairs, and renovations at Zipline testing facilities. Most work on the site is performed outdoors in whatever seasonal weather is occurring at the time. This includes anywhere from a well-developed test site, to a rugged unimproved area requiring off-road vehicles and hiking on steep terrain.
- Collaborate with vendors, contractors, and maintenance staff to address electrical related issues promptly ensuring quality delivered service.
- Brainstorm and execute site expansion projects such as the construction of mock buildings and backyards, test support buildings, observation towers, and expansion of utilities on-site with ownership of the electrical components of such projects.
- Coordinate site safety reviews and activities for the Facilities Team.
- Maintain records of maintenance activities, including service contracts, warranties, and inspection reports.
- Conduct regular inspections to identify potential maintenance needs and recommend necessary improvements.
- Communicate with teams to understand their evolving needs and space requirements while proposing strategic solutions.
- Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal health and safety regulations.
What You'll Bring
- Must possess a valid, active California C-10 Electrical Contractor License in good standing with the CSLB.
- Proven experience in general construction, construction management, facilities management, or a similar role.
- Experience with electrical construction and SLD tools and CAD programs such as Bluebeam. Comfortability with standard spreadsheet and word processing tools.
- Strong project management experience.
- Strong technical capabilities regarding testing infrastructure management, assembly, and delivering feedback to engineering.
- Contractor and vendor oversight experience.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills.
- Self-motivation and strong record of working independently.
- Financial acumen and independent financial planning skills.
- Strong problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
- A deep excitement to learn, and an aptitude for multi-tasking.
- A desire to work in a hands-on environment and outdoors.
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
- A safety first mindset and approach.
- Willingness to travel between California testing facilities 25% of the time. Willingness to travel to other sites outside California on an intermittent basis.
What Else You Need to Know
