Full description
About Redwood MaterialsRedwood 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. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.Production Associate
The Production Associate will support the safe and efficient movement, processing, and handling of materials throughout Redwood Materials’ McCarran operations.
Redwood receives a wide variety of end-of-life batteries and battery-containing products, recovers critical minerals and other valuable materials, and transforms those materials into new battery materials and energy-storage products for customers. Production Associates support this closed-loop process by operating production equipment, moving materials, maintaining accurate inventory records, and preparing finished materials and products for storage or shipment.
This role works in a collaborative, fast-paced manufacturing environment and is responsible for following established safety, quality, production, and material-handling requirements.
Responsibilities will include:
- Support day-to-day operations of continuously running production lines, including material sampling, equipment monitoring, material movement, and performing actions within Ignition and other Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
- Operate and train on material-processing and manufacturing equipment, which may include material-conveyance systems, shredding and milling equipment, screening systems, separation equipment, packaging equipment, and other production machinery.
- Operate and train on powered industrial trucks, including but not limited to forklifts, reach trucks, pallet jacks, and other material-handling equipment.
- Pick, stage, load, and deliver materials and inventory required for production areas.
- Receive inbound shipments of end-of-life batteries, raw materials, packaging supplies, maintenance parts, and engineering equipment.
- Support the movement of materials between receiving, production, processing, packaging, storage, and shipping areas.
- Prepare finished battery materials and energy-storage products for storage, internal transfer, or customer shipment.
