Nexos, who specialized in Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) services in the offshore energy sector, has announced a strategic expansion into onshore energy projects. The move is bolstered by a 300-person strong onshore services division, positioning nexos as a key player in the energy transition.
nexos is known as one of the UK’s largest offshore EPC contractors, supporting clients such as Apache, Ithaca Energy and EnQuest, and is now leveraging its expertise to support the onshore energy mix following a number of key wins in the onshore sector.

The new division will focus on delivering turnkey EPC services for energy transition projects, including hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage (CCUS), waste-to-energy, renewables and synthetic fuels.
“Leveraging nexos’ extensive EPC expertise into the onshore market signals our intent to become a powerhouse in the energy transition,” said Derek Thomson, Chief Operating Officer at nexos. “We are combining OSL’s engineering and procurement expertise with our industry-leading construction capabilities to provide exceptional value as an EPC contractor in the onshore energy market.”
“By providing construction services in-house, we are offering a genuine full-service solution that many other onshore EPC contractors cannot, and a seamless project execution journey for our clients,” Thomson continued.
Offshore expertise for onshore innovation
Nexos’ extensive offshore experience, particularly in high-hazard environments, provides a unique advantage in tackling complex onshore projects. From ATEX-rated facilities to sterile pipeline installations, nexos’ integrated approach ensures efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness for developers looking to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy.
“Many engineering firms provide only the ‘E’ and ‘P’ of EPC, relying on third-party contractors for construction,” Thomson added. “At nexos, we provide a fully integrated solution, bringing offshore engineering discipline and safety-critical experience to onshore projects.”
