Aurora Energy Services, an Inverness-based energy firm, has achieved significant success with its new Aberdeen division by securing £3 million worth of contracts since its launch four months ago. This milestone has led to the creation of more than 30 jobs, with further recruitment anticipated as the division continues to grow.
The new integrated services division, located in Dyce, focuses on engineering design, procurement, offshore and onshore installation, construction, and decommissioning activities. This versatile offering has been particularly effective in leveraging transferable skills and technologies from the oil and gas sector, such as digital laser scanning, to secure significant renewable energy projects.
Kane Winton, one of the experienced project managers heading the division, noted: “Project awards for laser scanning and EPC services across hydropower, wind power, alternative energy storage and oil & gas and decommissioning, underline the versatility of our offering and show a real appetite for our in-house capabilities and a leaner approach with a more competitive cost base.”
Tom Smith, Chief Operating Officer of Aurora Energy Services, highlighted the strong demand for their services: “The take up by existing and new clients of our integrated services offering has surpassed expectations and underlines the high level of demand for cost-effective full lifecycle services in the energy sector.”
Aurora’s success in Aberdeen is part of its broader strategy to expand its presence in the UK and globally, with operations in North and South America and Australia.
Aurora will conduct turbine assessments across the UK for a prominent wind farm operator. The company has also finished a digital scanning survey of a Dive Support Vessel journeying from Malta to Trinidad.
