- About Redwood Materials
- Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse
- recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.
- We run North America’s largest battery recycling operation, a continuous, heavy industrial plant built around rotary kilns, shredders, mills
- conveyors. The business depends on this plant running well
- 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
- known for executing. You’ll own maintenance, planning and scheduling, spares
- reliability, with the mandate and resources to shape the department around that vision.
- Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Maintenance execution. Accountability for mechanical and electrical maintenance across the site, and for the equipment availability that flows from it.
- 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.
- Reliability. The strategy that keeps failures from happening: PM optimization, condition monitoring, defect elimination, and root cause analysis on what matters.
- Spares and materials. Critical spares strategy and storeroom discipline so parts are on the shelf when the schedule needs them.
- People and safety. A department led through managers, spanning maintenance execution, planning, reliability
- materials. You’ll develop leaders, not just run crews, with safety leadership befitting a metallurgical processing environment.
- Budget. Maintenance spend across labor, materials, and contractors.
- Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities
- Engineering degree or trade background with equivalent senior experience
- 10+ years in maintenance and reliability in heavy industry, such as mining, mineral processing, smelting, cement, or similar continuous-process environments
- A track record of building proactive, planned maintenance organizations, and the specifics to back it up
- Experience leading through managers and building leadership capability, not just technical teams
- Strong grounding in work management, reliability engineering, and shutdown execution
- Safety leadership in industrial environments
- Calm, direct, and able to hold a standard while bringing a team along
- Why this role
- Battery recycling is a young industry and this is its largest operation. You’d be building the maintenance function that sets the benchmark for it, with real scale, a clear mandate
- leadership that knows what good looks like and will back you to get there.
- The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
