About The Position

Flytrex is seeking a field-oriented Site Launch & Deployment Manager to lead the development and launch of physical drone delivery stations across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The role owns each station from site approval through energization and first flight, turning sites into launch-ready infrastructure with substantial power requirements, including drone hubs, high-capacity chargers, cameras, RTK systems, and utility service or industrial generators.

The manager leads site readiness, electrical construction, permitting, partner integrations, and commissioning to meet fixed go-live dates.

It includes managing electricians and other contractors, coordinating with utilities and municipalities, controlling budgets and material logistics, and completing operational handoffs with as-built documentation. The role also contributes to deployment playbooks and continuous improvement.

• Strong working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC), including load calculations, reading one-line diagrams and panel schedules, sizing services and feeders, and identifying field code compliance.
• Experience navigating utility interconnections, meter sets, city plan reviews, and municipal inspections across Texas.
• Experience managing trade contractors, writing scopes of work, and managing build budgets.
• Comfort with low-voltage wiring, GPS/RTK positioning hardware, and field networking setup, including Wi-Fi, LTE, and Ethernet.
• Valid Texas Driver’s License with a clean record.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end station launches, leading critical-path plans across site readiness, electrical builds, municipal permits, and partner integrations.
