Senior Maintenance Manager

Redwood Materials • Reno, NV

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Redwood Materials is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and 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, 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. You’ll own maintenance, planning and scheduling, spares, and reliability, with the mandate and resources to shape the department around that vision.

Requirements

• 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

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, 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.
