(WO) — Aurora Energy Services has restructured its Integrated Services division and appointed Kane Winton as managing director as the company expands its engineering, fabrication and EPC capabilities across the oil and gas and broader energy sectors.
The division, which brings approximately 400 employees under a single leadership structure, is expected to generate about $68 million in UK revenue this year and is targeting approximately $135 million annually by 2028.
Aurora said the restructuring responds to customer demand for a more integrated approach to project delivery. The expanded business combines engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication and specialist welding capabilities to support larger and more complex projects.
Winton joined Aurora in 2024 with an initial mandate to establish an engineering and project management operation targeting approximately $5.4 million in annual revenue. Since then, the company’s Integrated Services hub in Dyce, Aberdeen, has grown from five employees to more than 80.
“The restructuring of our business model and the new role I have taken on is a direct consequence of the rapid growth Aurora has enjoyed in the last year and it will provide more cohesion in project delivery which, along with safety, is a main driver for our clients,” Winton said.
Aurora said uncertainty in the UK oil and gas sector, including the impact of the windfall tax, is increasing operator demand for suppliers capable of providing cost-effective and streamlined project execution. The division currently supports oil and gas, renewables, hydro, nuclear and infrastructure projects.
Aurora’s engineering and fabrication facility in Huntly will also become a core component of the Integrated Services business, with additional hiring expected over the next 12 to 18 months. The company recently opened a 5,000-sq-ft warehouse near its Dyce operations and expects additional office space will be required as the business expands.
“With long-term contracts secured and a strong client appetite for what we are trying to achieve, it is not unrealistic to expect turnover to grow to around [$135 million] in the next two years,” Winton said.
Aurora CEO Doug Duguid said the restructuring reflects customer demand for a single supplier capable of handling a broader range of project requirements.
“We have reshaped our Integrated Services division to reflect the wider role it will play in Aurora’s growth strategy, and as a result of clients telling us they want one supplier capable of delivering everything,” Duguid said.
