<div class="content-intro"><div class="page"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> About Redwood Materials <div> Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div>We run North America’s largest battery recycling operation, a continuous, heavy industrial plant built around rotary kilns, shredders, mills, and conveyors. The business depends on this plant running well, and maintenance is central to that.  We’re looking for a Senior Maintenance Manager to lead the department and build it into a world-class function: proactive, predictable, and known for executing.

Accountability for mechanical and electrical maintenance across the site, and for the equipment availability that flows from it. </li> <li>Planning and scheduling. A disciplined work management process: schedules that hold, work that’s planned and kitted before it starts, a backlog that’s managed. </li> <li>Reliability. The strategy that keeps failures from happening: PM optimization, condition monitoring, defect elimination, and root cause analysis on what matters. </li> <li>Spares and materials. Critical spares strategy and storeroom discipline so parts are on the shelf when the schedule needs them. </li> <li>People and safety. A department led through managers, spanning maintenance execution, planning, reliability, and materials. You’ll develop leaders, not just run crews, with safety leadership befitting a metallurgical processing environment. </li> <li>Budget. Maintenance spend across labor, materials, and contractors. </li> </ul> Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities   <ul> <li>Engineering degree or trade background with equivalent senior experience </li> <li>10+ years in maintenance and reliability in heavy industry, such as mining, mineral processing, smelting, cement, or similar continuous-process environments </li> <li>A track record of building proactive, planned maintenance organizations, and the specifics to back it up </li> <li>Experience leading through m
