The posting

Job Title: Facilities Engineering Lead

Location: Burlingame, CA, with relocation to Sacramento, CA by Q1 2027

Department: Manufacturing Operations / Plant Facilities

Reports to: Head of Facilities

Position Type: Full-Time, Exempt

About the Company:

Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven Sodium-Ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.

Sodium-Ion is cheap, readily available and safe, making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.

Our leadership team is powered by decades of expertise in scaling gigawatt-level innovation at world-class companies such as Tesla, Northvolt, SunPower, Fluence, and Enovix. We are backed by strategic investment and product partners such as TDK Ventures and Eclipse Ventures.

We are a team of engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, and partners driven by a shared ambition to set the new performance standard for renewable energy and grid resilience.

About the Job:

Peak Energy is looking for a Facilities Engineering Lead to own all things building operations at our battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for keeping the physical plant — mechanical, electrical, life-safety, and process-support systems — safe, compliant, and running at the reliability level our production lines depend on. You'll lead a small team of technicians, manage outside contractors, and be the go-to person when anything building-related needs attention.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the day-to-day operation, preventive maintenance, and repair of all facility systems: HVAC and process cooling, electrical distribution (low- and medium-voltage), compressed air, plumbing, and building automation/controls.
  • Keep the building envelope, dock doors, cranes/hoists, and material-handling infrastructure that support production lines in good working order.
  • Assist with the development and supervision of a skilled technician team to support ongoing facilities technical needs.
  • Source, qualify, and manage relationships with outside contractors and vendors — electrical, mechanical, fire/life-safety, pest control, janitorial, grounds, and waste/recycling — including scoping, quoting, and invoice review.
  • Serve as the primary on-call escalation point for after-hours facility issues.
  • Plan and execute facility capital projects — line expansions, utility upgrades, tenant improvements, and equipment installs — in partnership with manufacturing/process engineering, EHS, and outside architects/contractors.
  • Own the facilities operating and capital budgets and track spend against forecast.
  • Identify and implement energy-efficiency and sustainability improvements.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of progressive, hands-on experience in industrial facilities maintenance, operations, or engineering within a manufacturing, industrial, or heavy-processing environment. Background in battery, electronics, chemical processing, automotive, or similarly regulated/utility-intensive manufacturing is a strong plus.
  • Equivalent experience counts — time served through a trade apprenticeship, military technical training, or progressively responsible maintenance/facilities roles is weighed the same as a formal degree.
  • Prior experience leading, scheduling, or mentoring maintenance/facilities technicians, or clear readiness to step into that role.
  • Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems (up to 480V distribution; medium-voltage exposure a plus), HVAC/process cooling, compressed air, and plumbing systems.
  • Active knowledge of environmental/workplace safety regulations (OSHA, NFPA 70E, EPA, etc.) as they apply to industrial facilities operations.
  • Comfortable with CMMS platforms, basic budgeting, and vendor/contract management.
  • Able to read and work from facility drawings and schematics (electrical one-lines, mechanical P&IDs, floor plans).
  • Strong troubleshooting instincts and willing to personally get hands-on when needed — this is a working-lead role, not a purely administrative one.
  • Able to respond to after-hours emergencies and support occasional weekend/off-shift work for planned shutdowns or projects.
  • Strong interpersonal and people-management skills, with the ability to lead, motivate, and develop a technician team.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in facilities management, industrial/mechanical/electrical engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • Journeyman electrician license, HVAC/EPA 608 certification, or equivalent trade license.
  • Forklift certification.
  • MEWP (mobile elevating work platform / aerial lift) certification.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements:

  • Primarily an active manufacturing floor environment with exposure to noise, temperature variation, and industrial equipment; PPE required in designated areas.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, and to stand, walk, climb, and work in tight or elevated spaces across the facility for extended periods.
  • Will work in proximity to high-voltage equipment and battery chemicals under established safety protocols and with appropriate training/PPE.
  • Must be available to respond on short notice to facility emergencies outside normal business hours.

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this role is between $130,000- $160,000 year, with actual pay varying based on work location, experience, and skills. Our competitive benefits package includes:

  • Flexible time off
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Strong 401(k) plan
  • Equity opportunities
  • Many great work perks

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
