Redwood Materials, founded by JB Straubel (Tesla co-founder and former CTO), is North America's largest lithium-ion battery recycler and has deployed the world's largest second-life battery project. The company is profitable and positioned to lead a market projected to grow 20–50x over the next decade.
As Senior Training Specialist for Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), you will oversee EHS and training programs for Redwood's Energy Services business unit, which encompasses power electronics manufacturing and assembly, R&D, project site commissioning, product certification testing, and field service operations.
Key responsibilities include:
• Partner with process and manufacturing engineering during production line design, ramp, and changes to eliminate hazards at the design stage (Design for EHS) before equipment is released to production.
• Provide EHS support to R&D power electronics development teams, including lab and prototype safety reviews, electrical safety practices, and hazard assessments for engineering builds.
• Support field service and maintenance teams with EHS guidance for on-site and field work, including lockout/tag-out (LOTO), work on energized equipment, and site-specific hazard controls.
• Maintain the EHS training matrix and learning management system records tied to Pack Manager assembly, R&D power electronics, and field service roles to ensure required training and certifications remain audit-ready; report completion and certification metrics to leadership.
• Support audits and regulatory inspections related to Energy Services processes, and revise EHS content as equipment, standards, and floor feedback require.
• Develop and deliver relevant training to Energy Services team members including LOTO, electrical safety, forklift operations, and other role-specific safety topics.
• Comfortable working in an active production environment with noise, dust, moving equipment, and required personal protective equipment.
This role is primarily performed in a plant and production environment, with regular presence on the operating floor and periodic travel to support R&D and field service operations.
REQUIREMENTS:
• CSP (Certified Safety Professional), ASP (Associate Safety Professional), or CHST (Certified Health & Safety Technician) certification required.
• Experience in battery recycling, renewable energy, inverter manufacturing, solar panel manufacturing, or power electronics OEMs is a plus.
• Ability to work comfortably in active production environments with noise, dust, and moving equipment.
• Willingness to travel periodically to support R&D and field service operations.
