Job description

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Own many of the most rewarding searches at Redwood: senior, niche, and first-of-their-kind roles across engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), design engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, battery energy storage systems (BESS) compliance, and environmental health, safety, and sustainability.
• Partner directly with vice presidents and hiring managers to define roles, organizational structures, and leveling before requisitions open, including functions Redwood is standing up for the first time.
• Build sourcing strategies that win construction and engineering talent in the Reno and Sparks market: superintendents, field engineers, project managers, construction electricians, and compliance engineers.
• Shape and re-shape your recruiting strategy when the evidence says so.
• Carry searches that enable real outcomes, where a certification program, facility startup, or construction milestone depends on the seat being filled.
• Run a clean, standard, streamlined process from intake through offer, so hiring managers and candidates get the same fantastic experience no matter how hard the search is.
• Coordinate with the embedded team covering high-volume operations hiring so leaders with roles in both lanes work with one recruiting function, not two.

Requirements

• Full-cycle recruiting experience in construction, engineering, energy, manufacturing, mining, or another heavy industry.
• Experience recruiting for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or utility-scale infrastructure.
• A record of closing searches others could not, including roles an organization had never hired before.
• Experience winning skilled construction trades in a tight regional labor market.
• Fluency in leveling and compensation, with the ability to explain decisions to executives and candidates and to change minds with data.
• Judgment to prioritize a demanding search load and name tradeoffs to leaders directly.
• Working knowledge of an applicant tracking system such as Greenhouse.
• Ability to work onsite in Northern Nevada and travel to project sites as needed.
• A passion for sustainability and making the world a better place!
