Nexos

What Nexos does

Nexos (formerly Global E&C) is an Aberdeen-headquartered integrated EPC contractor delivering full-service engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and modular solutions to UK and international energy operators. Founded in 2000 and re-branded in September 2024 following a strategic investment from SCF Partners, the company operates across traditional oil and gas (offshore and onshore EPC, modifications, turnarounds, hook-up and commissioning) and emerging energy verticals including hydrogen, carbon capture, offshore wind, and grid infrastructure. The company supports 33+ offshore assets on the UK Continental Shelf and serves enterprise clients such as Serica Energy, EnQuest, CNR International, INEOS Energy, Ørsted, Energinet, and National Grid.

The company's service portfolio spans consultancy, offshore EPC, onshore EPC, modular solutions, fabrication, HVAC, survey, engineering, construction and maintenance, and commissioning/start-up, supported by extensive fabrication infrastructure at the Nord Centre on Aberdeen Harbour (3,300m² covered workshops, 15,000m² yard, quayside access). Underpinning execution is the proprietary Slingshot digital ecosystem — integrating Primavera, Solab Onboard Tracker, Proarc, and Microsoft Dynamics — alongside the CHOMS handover system, Tempus timewriting solution, Fusion mobile app, Slingshot Insights analytics platform, and the D2ZTrack blockchain-based embodied carbon verification platform. Nexos operates as part of the D2Zero portfolio alongside Hydrasun, Powerstar, Kelton, and OSL Consulting.

Commercially, Nexos generates revenue through project-based EPC contracts, modular manufacturing and system integration, and standalone in-house service engagements (engineering consultancy, HVAC, fabrication, digital solutions). Pricing is quotation-driven, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Distribution is direct enterprise sales via a senior business development team, targeting long-term partnerships with major energy operators through competitive tendering. The company employs over 1,100 people across UK facilities in Aberdeen and Hull, with international project delivery including Denmark (Ørsted, Energinet) and Ascension Island (BBC World Service). Nexos Solutions Limited is a private company registered in Scotland, ultimately backed by SCF Partners.
