About the role
- About Redwood Materials 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.
- We collect your PI for our purposes, including performing services and operations related to your potential employment.
Responsibilities
- Design and own a wide range of electrical systems - including medium voltage (up to 34.5 kV) feeds, low voltage power distribution, lighting, raceway, grounding, and communications.
- Perform power system studies including short-circuit analysis, arc flash calculations, and protective device coordination using SKM or ETAP to ensure safe and code-compliant designs.
- Perform cable ampacity calculations using AmpCalc or similar software to optimize cable size instead of using prescriptive tables from National Electrical Code (NEC).
- Lead multi-discipline coordination with architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, fire & life safety, and other design teams to produce complete Issue for Construction (IFC) packages.
- Review conceptual designs from manufacturing engineers and stakeholders to identify technical and financial risks. Prepare electrical specifications and conduct technical bid evaluations for designs produced by external design consultants.
- Prepare engineering cost estimates and project schedules, perform QA/QC reviews of electrical designs, and mentor junior engineers while contributing to internal design standards and best practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from ABET accredited program.
- Minimum 10 years of experience in heavy commercial and industrial sectors, with evidence of exceptional ability.
- Advanced proficiency in Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Bluebeam, and SKM or ETAP for design production, clash detection, document review, and power system studies.
- Advanced proficiency in AmpCalc or similar for cable ampacity calculations.
- If you have additional privacy-related questions, please contact us at privacy@redwoodmaterials.com.
- Licensed Professional Engineer in Nevada or eligible for reciprocity. Must get their PE in Nevada and South Carolina within 2 months of start date.
- Subject matter expertise in National Electrical Code (NEC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), and relevant National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards with demonstrated ability to lead code analysis and apply requirements across complex, multi-discipline projects.
- Advanced proficiency in AmpCalc or similar for cable ampacity calculations. Ability to perform photometric studies using lighting design software such as Visual or AGI and make decisions on optimal lighting levels for projects.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the capacity to independently manage multiple concurrent projects, prioritize tasks effectively, and deliver high-quality engineering documents on schedule.
- Ability to travel to project sites for construction administration, commissioning support, and field issue resolution, with flexibility to adjust availability based on project phase demands.
- Excellent communication skills - verbal, written, and through drawings/sketches - with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and interface confidently at an executive level.
Compensation
- Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
