Our engineers

OFS take great pride in the field engineers within our company. Since 2002, the company has built a worldwide team of field engineers with enormous experience.

 

Expert Personnel

OFS was founded in 2002 to provide rotating equipment specialists to the Power Generation, Energy, Renewable and Oil & Gas industries.

Many of the field engineers previously held positions within multiple OEM’s and have been trained to the highest level by them. They previously held responsibilities for commissioning, installation and maintenance for numerous years. This gives  OFS an added depth and experience which is unique as it allows OFS to become a single point of contact for managing rotating equipment support for equipment from multiple OEM’s.

OFS currently holds active global agreements with the majority of OEM’s and supports them continuously on numerous projects. This is evident on a number of projects where OFS engineers actually represent OEM’s and some OEM’s have permitted OFS to lead projects on their behalf, again demonstrating their confidence in utilising OFS professional services.

We have tailored such solutions through the provision of highly experienced professionals and managers:

  • Project Managers

  • Turbo-machinery Engineers / Technicians

  • Technicians

  • Schedulers and Planners

  • Operations & Maintenance Engineers

  • Reliability Engineers
