see Failure Attempts in the official docs

By default jobs only have one attempt, that is when they fail, they are marked as a failure, and remain that way until you intervene.

To do this invoke the .attempts() method with a number.

 queue.create('email', {
     title: 'welcome email for tj'
   , to: 'tj@learnboost.com'
   , template: 'welcome-email'
 }).priority('high').attempts(5).save();
