Electrician - Installation Engineer

About AirGarage 🏙

AirGarage is repurposing the 30% of real estate in the average American city currently dedicated to parking.

We are building a future where real estate is digitized and can be transitioned from one use to another seamlessly on-demand, moving every piece of urban real estate toward its highest and best use.

We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types.

As a full-stack parking operator, we automate the operation of parking lots and parking garages. We handle everything from advertising to collecting payments from drivers and enforcing against illegal parking. We already operate 250+ parking lots and parking garages across 35 US states and we are growing quickly.

We are backed by top tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

We’re looking for an Installation Engineer with a background as a licensed commercial Electrician in the service industry to join our growing hardware team to bring much needed expertise to our deployment of hardware systems across our parking facilities. We need someone who can really understand the problem they’re asked to solve, why it matters to the business, and then fill in any gaps needed to get the job done at a high quality level both functionally and aesthetically.

As an early team member, the processes and standards you develop will help us continue to level up our effectiveness as we grow the organization.

• Maintain Journeyman's license through required continued education each year (AirGarage will pay for this)

WHAT YOU NEED 👩🏼‍🎓

• Proficient with power tools and hand tools (hammer drill, impact driver, drill, wire strippers, etc)

We're looking for someone passionate, with grit and determination, who is excited to face the challenges of a rapidly growing startup. AirGarage is the type of company where you can grow exponentially, and we encourage you to apply to us even if you don't 100% match the candidate description.
