The company currently generates around $30 million in annual revenue from the Americas and forecasts that figure will exceed $50 million in 2027.
Growth is expected in existing markets and through expansion into new territories, with plans to increase staffing levels to meet demand.
Aurora already operates several bases in Texas and intends to open a third US site. Longer term, it plans to strengthen its South American presence by establishing facilities in Brazil, complementing its existing operations in Chile.
The company aims to expand its existing wind-related services, including blade and generator repairs, while pursuing opportunities in major component exchanges and generator overhauls.
Aurora also sees potential in the data centre construction sector, where its expertise in renewable energy and battery storage could be applied to new projects.
Founded in June 2022, Aurora Energy Services employs 750 people across Scotland, Australia, North America and South America.

Doug Duguid, chief executive of Aurora Energy Services, said: “Bryan’s depth of experience across renewable energy and strong leadership skills will help us achieve our growth objectives in the Americas.
“His understanding of the importance of safety and ability to motivate teams were important factors in making this appointment.
“Our existing wind business is substantial but we want to grow our blade repair and generator repair services, while developing new opportunities such as in major component exchange and generator overhaul projects.”
Bryan Loveless, president of Aurora Energy Services Americas, said: “I was aware of Aurora’s reputation in the market for safety first, and a can-do approach to offering practical solutions without compromising on quality.
“I am looking forward to the opportunity to grow a business that has a strong foundation with lots of untapped potential.”
