Redwood Materials, Inc.
Overview
Redwood 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 2019, 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. Chemical Engineer, Production As a Chemical Engineer at Redwood Materials you will contribute to a wide variety of processes and projects across the business and locations. The chemical engineering team focuses on: providing sound technical support to improve commercial operations; developing new processes and plants to address immediate recycling industry challenges; and researching and developing to address future challenges. This Chemical Engineer will fall under Redwood’s Production Engineering group, supporting our recycling plants and related operations. The final job title and level will be determined based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Responsibilities
Working closely with operations and maintenance teams to ensure our processes are safe, efficient, sustainable, and continuously improving. Leading and participating in cross-functional teams to develop and implement new process plants and equipment. Testwork and pilot plant design and operation. Flowsheet conceptualization and development. Flowsheet trade-off evaluations and studies. Process plant implementation and installation assistance. Process plant commissioning and ramp-up. Desired Qualifications
B.S. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related discipline. 5 - 7 years’ experience in Chemical Plant Operations and/or Design and Commissioning. Operational support and track record of solving difficult chemical and metallurgical process problems and making plant improvements. Testwork and pilot plant design and operating experience. Process modelling (HSCSIM, SysCAD, METSIM) and equipment sizing linking testwork and pilot plant operation to real project implementation. Trade-off studies and financial evaluation. Process plant design and commissioning. Track record of solving difficult chemical and metallurgical processing problems. Metallurgical processing context (mineral processing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and electrometallurgy) is desirable but not essential. Self-motivated with a hands-on approach and initiative. Strong written and verbal communication. A passion for sustainability and making the world a better place. Physical Requirements
Ability to safely perform job duties in both office and production environments. Must be able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. as needed. Must maintain regular and punctual attendance in alignment with company and regulatory standards. Must be able to communicate clearly. Working Conditions
Split work environment between office and the production facility. Work may involve extended periods of working in the production facility. Ability to work in challenging conditions including exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes, while protected by PPE, for extended periods. Occasional weekend or alternate shifts may be required to support production needs. The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience. We are an equal opportunity employer.
