Building on its 66-year legacy in the Americas, Kent, a global engineering, project management and energy services company, is increasing its commitment to the U.S. market as a central hub for its global operations.
In the first half of 2024, the company secured $1.2 billion in new contract awards. The new investments in Houston are designed to further enhance Kent’s ability to serve its clients across North America, particularly in the areas of engineering, project delivery and digital transformation.
Scott Tanley, recently appointed vice president of operations USA, will spearhead this expansion. With more than three decades of industry experience, Tanley brings an understanding of the U.S. energy landscape.
“Houston has always been at the heart of our operations in the Americas,” said Tanley (Figure 1). “This investment underscores our confidence in the U.S. market and our determination to support our clients with world-class solutions that are faster, cheaper and better than anyone else. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and are committed to helping our clients navigate the energy transition with the scale, attitude and people to get it done.”
Kent's Houston headquarters will continue to serve as the epicenter for the company's operations in North America, providing consulting, engineering, project management and commissioning and startup services across the energy sector, including oil and gas, offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and chemicals.
With more than 100 years of frontline experience and a presence in 24 countries, Kent’s track record includes involvement in low-carbon projects, such as the integrated CO2 capture system at Boundary Dam in Canada and Project Greensand in the North Sea.
