Civil Engineer, Energy Storage Project Engineering

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 2017, 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.

Redwood Materials is building grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and this role shapes those projects before detailed design and construction begin.

As the Civil Engineer on the Energy Storage Project, you take early, ambiguous inputs and turn them into a buildable scope, a concept design, and a clear permitting and interconnection path.

You support active customer pursuits alongside the Business Development and Product teams, then hand a gap-closed engineering package to the detailed design team for execution.

The work rewards people who move fast without sacrificing the depth that sets projects up to succeed.

will include:

• Produce concept layouts, preliminary single line diagrams, and feasibility studies that confirm buildable area, interconnection viability, and a clear permitting path for early-phase battery energy storage projects
• Serve as the technical engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) point of support for Business Development, supplying scope boundaries, buildability constraints, cost and schedule inputs, and the technical exhibits attached to customer contracts
• Coordinate civil, structural, electrical, architectural, and fire protection engineering disciplines to set the design basis, review studies and layouts, and assemble concept packages against pursuit schedules
• Identify and document viable permitting and interconnection pathways, timelines, and critical site requirements, including zoning, stormwater, environmental constraints, noise limits, and site security and access
• Drive the data and information request checklist to closure, assigning an owner to every item, tracking status, and surfacing scope ambiguities and long-lead items
• Document scope delineation across internal and external responsible parties and deliver the scope and Basis of Design package that formally hands the project to the detailed design team
