Kent, a global leader in engineering, project management, and energy services, is strengthening its presence in Houston, Texas, with significant strategic investments aimed at expanding its operations and capabilities in the region. Building on its 66-year legacy in the Americas, the company is doubling down on its commitment to the US market as a central hub for its global operations.
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.
Recently appointed Scott Tanley, Vice President of Operations USA, will spearhead this expansion. With over three decades of industry experience, Tanley brings a deep understanding of the US energy landscape and a commitment to driving operational excellence across all of Kent’s projects in the region. ‘Houston has always been at the heart of our operations in the Americas,’ says Tanley. ‘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 star- up services across the energy sector, including oil and gas, offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), and chemicals. The company’s end-to-end service offerings, combined with its agile and client-focused approach, position Kent as a key player in the energy transition and a leader in delivering sustainable energy solutions.
As part of its ongoing commitment to the US market, Kent will be showcasing its latest innovations and services at Gastech 2024, one of the world’s largest gatherings for the global energy industry. Attendees are invited to visit Kent at Stand No. C160 to learn more about the company’s projects and how it can support clients in achieving their energy goals.
As Kent continues to grow its US footprint, it remains committed to investing in the people, technology, and resources needed to meet the evolving needs of its clients. With a strong foundation in Houston and a global network to draw upon, Kent is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy.
