Matt Kent has been appointed by OCS to the role of UK and Ireland Director of Engineering, following his transition from EMCOR UK after OCS’s acquisition of the business in December 2025.
The role will see Kent further strengthen engineering capability across OCS, alongside other senior technical leaders from EMCOR UK supporting OCS’s evolution into a technical services-led facilities management partner.
Kent brings over 30 years of engineering experience, including senior leadership roles in the Royal Navy and experience across secure government environments and complex mobilisations. He is a chartered mechanical engineer and a fellow of both the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology and the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management.
OCS says the appointment supports its evolution into a technical services-led facilities management partner, with engineering structure, governance and assurance increasingly central to how the company delivers in complex, regulated and mission-critical environments.
