Position Summary

CrestCura is seeking an experienced Electrical Field Services Manager to lead field operations within our Repowering (RRR) and Electrical Services business units.

Project Execution & Management

• Manage repowering (AC/DC) and specialized electrical service projects from site mobilization through completion.
• Develop work schedules, manage day-to-day site deliverables, track progress, and ensure projects stay on schedule and budget.
• Serve as the technical point of contact on site, working closely with clients, project managers, EPCs, and site safety leads.
• Own daily site deliverables and drive execution progress, balancing hands-on technical work with project scheduling and client interface.

Technical Execution (Repowering & Electrical Services)

• Serve as the primary hand-on technical expert for assigned electrical repowering scopes (inverter retrofits, re-cabling, combiner box replacements, and system upgrades).
• Perform, oversee, or coordinate specialized testing on medium voltage (MV) equipment, substations, transformers, switchgear, and protective relays as required.
• Diagnose complex electrical faults, execute root-cause analyses, and implement immediate field solutions.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Enforce strict adherence to NFPA 70E, OSHA guidelines, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and site-specific safety plans across all team activities.
• Perform QA/QC audits on completed electrical work and maintain meticulous field documentation, testing logs, and project reports.

Qualifications

• Industry Experience: 6+ years of hands-on technical experience in utility-scale solar PV, BESS, or industrial electrical systems, with at least 2+ years in a supervisory, team lead, or field management role.
• Repowering Expertise: Demonstrated experience with AC or DC repowering projects, with the technical adaptability to work across both domains.
• Technical Mastery: Strong working knowledge of central/string inverters, DC collection systems, transformer health, MV distribution, and general electrical diagnostics.
• Leadership Skills: Proven ability to manage field teams, balance project timelines, resolve technical disputes, and train/develop electrical personnel.
• Travel Flexibility: Willingness to travel to project sites across the country as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Specialized experience in Medium Voltage (MV) testing, cable splicing/terminations, substation commissioning, or relay testing.
• Certifications & Safety: Active Journeyman or Master Electrician license, OSHA 30 certification, CPR/First aid training, and strong practical knowledge of NFPA 70E / LOTO requirements.
• Prior experience with an IPP, EPC, OEM, or specialized electrical testing firm.
