Factory Construction Intern

About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About the Role

As a Factory Construction Intern, you’ll get hands-on experience bringing a factory to life - designing and standing up the processes that make our products real. You’ll work alongside engineers, operators, and builders in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, contributing to everything from facility layouts to construction progress tracking. This is a chance to learn by doing, where your work will directly shape how we deliver affordable energy at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Support coordination between civil engineering team and manufacturing team to align facility design with production requirements.

• Assist with reviewing interior build-out plans, MEP layouts, warehouse racking, and equipment move-in logistics to ensure efficient setup and compliance with requirements.

• Participate in design and construction meetings, capturing action items and tracking progress on civil-related deliverables.

• Contribute to quantity takeoffs, cost tracking, and documentation for civil works tied to the factory build.

• Conduct field visits to observe construction activities, verify work against plans, and report findings to the project team.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage details across multiple stakeholders.

• Interest in facility design, construction methods, and how they intersect with manufacturing operations.

• Ability to read or interpret construction drawings, layouts, and technical documentation.

• Eagerness to participate in fieldwork, site walks, and hands-on problem solving.

• Analytical mindset for tracking costs, quantities, and progress against plans.

• Clear communication skills for documenting action items and sharing findings with cross-functional teams.

• Proactive, “learn by doing” attitude with willingness to dive into new technical areas.

Why Base?
