Operations Coordinator

The world needs 3 TW of new solar capacity every year. The legacy approach of developing and building infrastructure is mathematically incapable of catching up.

Planted is the autonomous power deployment company. We transform power plants from bespoke construction projects into manufactured products. By integrating planning software, high-density arrays, energy storage, and field robots, we deliver more power where it's needed most.

The physics are solved; what remains is relentless execution. Led by repeat founders and an engineering core from SpaceX and Tesla, we are backed by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Piva Capital, Google, Gigascale Capital, Khosla Ventures, and RA Capital Management.

We’re scaling fast and looking for operators and engineers who want to own real pieces of the system. You don't need a traditional energy background; we care whether you can finish hard things. Come build with us.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will serve as the first point of contact for our Oakland headquarters, maintain smooth day-to-day office and workplace operations, champion a positive and inclusive team experience, and support hiring and onboarding for our growing team. This is an in-person role at our Oakland headquarters.

It is ideal for someone eager to learn startup operations, wear multiple hats, and support our team in delivering impactful climate solutions faster.

The salary range for this full-time position is $70,000 - $90,000 plus stock options and benefits. Pay within the range is based on candidate experience, job-specific skills, education, and work location.
