Senior Repowering Engineer / Technical Lead - Repowering Service

NovaSource Power Services is the world’s #1-ranked solar operations and maintenance provider, seeking a Senior Repowering Engineer to lead their new Repowering Services function. This role will focus on repowering engineering definition, technical scoping, and cost estimation to help extend the life and performance of utility-scale solar and storage assets.

Responsibilities:

• Lead technical evaluation of repowering opportunities across PV, BESS, inverters, controls, and BOP
• Develop engineering concepts and replacement strategies based on asset condition, performance data, and owner objectives
• Translate field realities into clear, buildable scopes suitable for third-party execution
• Identify risks, constraints, and interconnection impacts early and explicitly
• Develop defensible, bottoms-up repowering cost estimates
• Define execution phasing, outage strategies, and schedule assumptions
• Support bid packages, contractor scoping, and bid leveling
• Partner with Commercial and BD teams to support client discussions and proposals
• Provide technical oversight during execution phases as needed
• Act as Owner-rep or technical authority—not construction superintendent
• Support NovaSource field teams when flex labor or light field support is appropriate
• Establish NovaSource’s repowering playbook, templates, and standard deliverables
• Help define service tiers, exclusions, and guardrails
• Support long-term integration of repowering into NovaSource’s Total Asset Optimization (TAO) strategy

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in utility-scale solar and/or energy storage
• Direct experience with repowering, brownfield upgrades, or large-scale retrofits
• Strong background in engineering definition, estimating, and scope development
• Experience working alongside EPCs, OEMs, and specialty contractors
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate risk, cost, and constructability
• Experience supporting inverter or module replacement programs
• Familiarity with interconnection constraints and outage coordination
• Exposure to portfolio-level asset strategies (not just single projects)
• Prior Owner-rep, advisory, or technical authority roles
