About The Position

Flytrex is seeking a field-focused Site Launch & Deployment Manager to lead the development and commissioning of drone delivery stations across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

The manager leads launch planning across site readiness, electrical construction, permitting, and partner integrations. The role includes electrical load calculations and specifications, utility applications and meter sets, managing electricians and other contractors, and overseeing inspections and power-on. It also covers off-grid and backup power planning, hardware and network integration, charger load testing, budget and vendor management, and operational handoff with complete as-built documentation. This is a full-time, field-based position in the DFW metro area.

• At least 3 years of hands-on electrical or power infrastructure field experience in areas such as commercial or industrial electrical work, EV charging hubs, solar or storage, telecom cell sites, or power generation.
• Strong working knowledge of the NEC, including the ability to perform load calculations, read one-line diagrams and panel schedules, size services and feeders, and identify field code compliance.
• A 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 using Wi-Fi, LTE, or Ethernet.
• Valid Texas Driver’s License with a clean record.
• Ability to drive a box truck, lift 50 pounds, climb ladders, and work outdoors in Texas weather conditions.
• Flexibility to support occasional early-morning or weekend launches and station energization windows.

• Experience in drone or aviation infrastructure, robotics, or autonomous vehicle test sites; FAA Part 107 is a plus.
• Proficiency with project tracking tools such as Monday.com or Smartsheet.

Responsibilities

• Lead critical-path launch plans spanning site readiness, electrical builds, municipal permits, and partner integrations to deliver on-time, energized launches.
• Calculate electrical loads, specify panel sizes and circuits, manage utility applications and meter sets, and lead licensed electricians through installation, inspection, and power-on.
• Determine utility, generator, or battery energy storage system power configurations; oversee generator sizing, fuel runtime planning, transfer switches, and emergency backup readiness.
• Pull permits, coordinate with Texas city inspectors, resolve plan revisions, and manage landlord and HOA site requirements.
• Supervise ground-site builds, hardware racking, and networking equipment setup, and conduct full-load testing on high-power chargers before first flight.
• Solicit competitive bids, manage electrical and general trade contractors, control launch budgets, and track material delivery logistics.
