Acwa Field Services provides specialized, independent maintenance and engineering services for critical power generation assets. Formerly known as NMES, the business was founded in 2009 and became part of the Acwa Group in 2018. In 2026, it was rebranded as Acwa Field Services to reflect its role within Acwa Operations and its growing global reach.
Today, Acwa Field Services delivers OEM-equivalent maintenance, repair, and engineering services for gas turbines, steam turbines,
generators, and rotating equipment across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and selected international markets. Our teams work directly at site, supporting both Acwa assets and third-party facilities with precision, speed, and care.
As a leading regional non-OEM service provider, we are trusted for long-term service agreements across multiple OEM platforms. Our strength lies in executing complex, time-critical work on site, helping reduce outage duration, limit logistics risk, and lower total lifecycle cost for asset owners.
