Site Launch & Deployment Manager (Infrastructure & Power)

HQ Based in Pilot Point, TX | Full-Time | Field-Based (DFW Metro)

TAKE YOUR CAREER TO NEW HEIGHTS WITH FLYTREX!

✨ Who We Are

Flytrex is revolutionizing suburban on-demand delivery from the skies up, literally. As the leading drone delivery company in the U.S., we’re scaling our operations across Dallas–Fort Worth and beyond, bringing ultrafast, on-demand delivery straight to backyards via autonomous aircraft.

✨ The Opportunity

We're looking for a builder: someone who thrives on the ground, knows how to navigate complex field infrastructure, and has the grit to turn raw real estate into high-voltage, launch-ready drone stations.

This is not a coordination desk job. Every Flytrex station is an active physical build with serious power demands—drone hubs, high-capacity chargers, cameras, RTK systems, and dedicated utility service or industrial generators. As our Site Launch & Deployment Manager, you will serve as the on-the-ground launch captain who owns every station from site approval to energization and first flight. If you have the technical electrical chops, the field instincts to clear blockers before they happen, and the drive to hit fixed go-live dates, you’ll fit right in.

✨ What You'll Do

• End-to-End Launch Ownership: Lead critical-path plans across site readiness, electrical builds, municipal permits, and partner integrations to deliver on-time, fully energized launches.
• Electrical & Power Build-Out: Calculate electrical loads, specify panel sizes/circuits, manage utility applications/meter sets, and lead licensed electricians through install, inspection, and power-on.
• Off-Grid & Resilient Power: Determine power configurations (utility vs. generator/BESS), oversee generator sizing, fuel runtime planning, transfer switches, and emergency backup readiness.
• Permitting & Municipal Approvals: Pull permits, coordinate with Texas city inspectors, clear plan revisions, and manage landlord/HOA site requirements.
• Hardware Integration & Commissioning: Supervise ground site builds, hardware racking, networking equipment (cellular/Wi-Fi/Ethernet), and run full load testing on high-power chargers prior to first flight.
• Vendor & Budget Leadership: Solicit competitive bids, manage electrical and general trade contractors, keep launch budgets tight, and track material delivery logistics.
• Operational Handoff & Continuous Improvement: Lead go/no-go acceptance reviews, hand over complete as-built documentation (one-lines, panel schedules) to ops, and refine deployment playbooks to accelerate our next rollout.
  ✨ Why Join Flytrex?
• Be part of a category-defining company at the forefront of autonomous delivery.
• High-visibility leadership role directly building out our physical infrastructure footprint.
• Tackle unique, modern power challenges at the intersection of aerospace, micro-utilities, and EV charging.
• A fast-paced, collaborative, and mission-driven environment.

REQUIREMENTS

✨ What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience leading field infrastructure rollouts, station deployments, capital projects, or multi-site technical launches to hard deadlines.
• 3+ years of hands-on electrical/power infrastructure field experience (commercial/industrial electrical, EV charging hubs, solar/storage, telecom cell sites, or power generation).
• Strong working knowledge of the NEC: ability to build load calculations, read one-line diagrams and panel schedules, size services/feeders, and identify code compliance in the field.
• Proven track record navigating utility interconnections, meter sets, city plan reviews, and municipal inspections across Texas.
• Experience managing trade contractors, writing clear scopes of work, and managing build budgets.
• Comfort with low-voltage wiring, GPS/RTK positioning hardware, and field networking setup (Wi-Fi, LTE/Ethernet).
• Valid Texas Driver’s License with a clean record; comfortable driving a box truck, lifting 50 lbs, climbing ladders, and working in outdoor Texas weather conditions.
• Flexibility to support occasional early mornings or weekend launches and station energization windows.

✨Nice to have:

• Texas Journeyman Electrician license, apprentice hours, or EVITP certification.
• Hands-on generator sizing, paralleling, automatic transfer switch (ATS), or battery energy storage system (BESS) experience.
• OSHA 10/30 and NFPA 70E safety training.
• Experience in drone/aviation infrastructure, robotics, or autonomous vehicle test sites (FAA Part 107 is a plus).
• Proficiency with project tracking tools (e.g., Monday.com, Smartsheet).
