Redwood Materials, Inc.
Senior BESS Design Manager, EPC
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.
Designing & building infrastructure at record speed is key to enabling us to scale worldwide. We are looking for a highly motivated BESS Design Manager to join our Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) team.
In this role, you will be asked to own and drive the full design and engineering efforts for construction and infrastructure development from concept to production. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in engineering, construction, manufacturing, and/or project management.
The role requires a highly organized mindset, a passion for driving multi-disciplinary projects, and an unparalleled ability to pull people together to make things happen. Our capital improvement programs are always aggressive. This requires you to be extremely detail oriented, question requirements, identify real barriers and drive the cross‑functional teams to execute quickly at high quality.
Responsibilities
Manage and lead greenfield and brownfield infrastructure and tool install projects through conceptualization, feasibility, funding, design (30%/60%/90%/IFC), change management, and engineering services during construction. Focused on Redwood Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Point of contact for internal stakeholders and external parties to ensure consistent communication throughout the deployment.
Manage permitting and construction documents through transmittal to permitting, construction, and other parties.
Own design funding and schedule for all assigned projects.
Coordinate key project schedule requirements with our Procurement and Construction partners for the overall schedule success of the project.
Identify project resource requirements and highlight gaps/constraints. Influence various teams outside of direct reporting structure.
Build and maintain strong relationships with the various cross‑functional teams to ensure overall program alignment.
Understand lean construction principles and fully integrated design using Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Support, lead feasibility studies, value engineering efforts, and options analysis.
Desired Qualifications
Deep understanding of grid‑scale energy storage technologies and balance‑of‑plant equipment (e.g., inverters, transformers, switchgear, HVAC, fire suppression).
Strong working knowledge of electrical system design, interconnection requirements, and utility‑scale project execution.
Knowledge of battery systems, electrical protection, power conversion, medium and high voltage systems, communication systems and control systems.
Familiarity with relevant standards and codes (UL 9540/1973/1741, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, IEC).
B.S. in Engineering, preferably Electrical Engineering. Alternatively, demonstrate exceptional ability in the electrical engineering field through equivalent experience.
PE or RA License preferred.
Ability to prioritize and execute many tasks in parallel. Excellent attention to detail and quality decision making.
Knowledge of local codes and regulations. Experience with commercial or industrial electrical installations and with electricity distribution systems.
Project management and/or EPC experience.
Experience managing multi‑disciplinary scopes within A/E or Design Engineering firms. At least 5 years’ experience desired.
Thrives under pressure and in ambiguous environments.
The position is full‑time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
