Senior Maintenance ManagerActive$42K–$104K
The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
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, and 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.
What they're looking for
- Engineering degree or trade background with equivalent senior experience
- + 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
