About Electra
Air travel is about to become something more: more direct, more accessible, and more connected to the places where people live, work and want to be. Every day in the U.S., people make 35 million trips of 50–500 miles, stuck in traffic or routed through crowded hubs. Chances are, you've been one of them. At Electra, we're changing that with the EL9, a nine-passenger, hybrid-electric aircraft that takes off and lands in just 150 feet. Our Ultra Short technology opens up thousands of new places to fly, beyond conventional runways, congested airports and long drives. We're backed by Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and Safran. Operators worldwide have signed intent-to-purchase agreements for the first 2,200 aircraft we produce, and we're moving toward first test flights in 2027.
Getting a new kind of aircraft airborne takes more than ambition. It takes our kind of bold: people who think big while working in the real world. Who move ideas into action and collaborate without silos. Who put people first and make room at the table for everyone. Who challenge one another without diminishing one another.
Sound like you? Then look beyond what you thought were your own limits, and help us take flight beyond runways.
The Role
Electra is standing up for a new production facility in Ohio, and you'll be the person who builds it - from the first shovel in the ground through full site build-out. As Senior Manager, Infrastructure, you'll partner with manufacturing and operations leadership to turn operational requirements into a clear scope of work, own the RFP process, and manage every design, construction, and civil engineering relationship needed to deliver the site.
This covers far more than the production lines themselves: utilities and mechanical systems, the paint booth, parking, and common/people areas all fall under Infrastructure. You'll effectively serve as project manager for the entire facility, and you'll stay engaged well past the first phase - supporting each subsequent construction phase and module as Electra ramps production.
You'll also play a role in standing up Electra's Ohio MRO presence, including overseeing build-out or lease adaptation as that network takes shape.
What You'll Do
- Partner with manufacturing and operations leadership to translate operational requirements into clear scope of work for the Ohio facility build
- Own statement-of-work and RFP development for construction, design, and civil engineering partners
- Engage with local stakeholders to strengthen collaboration during the execution phases, including alignment with Airport Operations rules and requirements, and improvements in the Facility surroundings (e.g. road, taxiway)
- Serve as day-to-day project manager for the full site build - production lines, utilities and mechanical systems, the paint booth, parking, and common/people areas
- Manage relationships and drive performance of construction, design, and civil engineering firms throughout the building
- Support the site through each subsequent construction phase and module as Electra ramps production
- Represent Infrastructure in planning and stand-up of Electra's Ohio MRO presence, including any leased-facility build-out or adaptation
- Provide regular schedule, scope, and budget updates to leadership
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, architecture, or a related field
- 12+ years of relevant experience
- Proven track record managing large-scale industrial or commercial construction projects end-to-end, including RFP development
- Experience managing multiple design, construction, and civil engineering partners at once
- Experience with phased builds or production ramps, ideally in a manufacturing environment
- Strong project management skills and comfort owning ambiguity across concurrent workstreams
- Aerospace or aviation industry background is a plus, not a requirement
Bonus Points
- Experience standing up greenfield manufacturing facilities
- Familiarity with MRO facility requirements or aviation maintenance operations
Experience managing both owned and leased industrial space
This range reflects the anticipated hiring range across all eligible locations; actual compensation is determined based on your relevant experience, skills, and geographic location. Total compensation includes performance bonus and comprehensive benefits.
What We Offer
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance; STD, LTD, and life insurance
- Generous PTO, sick leave, and company holidays
- Paid winter break
- 401(k) with immediate vesting
- Free catered lunches, coffee, snacks, and drinks at our Manassas headquarters
- Free on-site parking
