About Redwood Materials

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.

The role manages scheduling of trade contractors and vendor installations, resolves day-to-day construction issues, and tracks project schedule and budget, while owning RFIs, submittals, and procurement/RFPs for the assigned scope. The role operates independently, applying sound judgment on schedule, cost, and risk trade-offs, with work reviewed at key project milestones. This is an onsite role, with work performed in person.

Responsibilities will Include:

  • Leads daily meetings with subcontractors/crews to review production schedule and confirm materials, equipment, and resources are available; resolves day-to-day construction issues
  • Develops the project work plan and scheduling strategy for assigned scope, identifying and escalating risks to budget and schedule
  • Manages RFIs, submittals, procurement/RFPs, and schedule for assigned scope, and remits accurate project quantity input and cost coding to ensure accurate financial reporting
  • Reviews shop drawings, design specifications, and project data throughout the project to ensure quality and contract specification compliance
  • Provides day-to-day guidance to Project Engineers and other junior staff on assigned scope
  • Conducts required Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), attends weekly safety meetings, and manages permits, inspections, and other documentation required for construction production
  • Reviews and approves daily timecards for construction crews and coordinates with the Office Manager, payroll, and job construction supervisors to resolve inquiries

    • Desired Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field required
  • 5+ years of construction engineering, scheduling, or design experience
  • Strong knowledge of cost coding, budgeting, and other project-related financial implications
  • Strong knowledge of scheduling processes and industry best practices
  • Ability to build relationships and work effectively with internal and external partners unfamiliar with the subject matter
  • Knowledge of construction equipment and techniques, drawings and specifications, building materials, and applicable project standards
  • Proven self-starter with strong verbal/written communication skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment

    • The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
