Energy service firm EnerMech has appointed Haliburton’s senior boss as its regional director for the Middle East and Caspian region.
Dave McLeod will join the Aberdeen company after a 30-year long career at Haliburton, where he held various positions in the UK, USA, Gabon, Nigeria, Kuala Lumpur, and Australasia.
He was most recently senior director in charge of global quality systems and quality strategy.
The company is hoping the appointment will strengthen its position in the Middle East, where it currently employs more than 250 staff working from bases in Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Dubai, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, and on a joint venture in Saudi Arabia.
The region is also home to EnerMech’s largest crane maintenance contract with BP for the British major’s Caspian Sea assets, managed from its Baku base.
“The Middle East and Caspian regions are very important in term of future growth for the company and we will focus our efforts on extending our footprint with a combination of investment, organic growth and acquisitions,” said Doug Duguid, EnerMech chief executive.
“To achieve that we need high calibre people like Dave McLeod who has years of international experience in the oil and gas industry and who can make the best of the investment we have made in terms of infrastructure and people in these regions. His background in operations, quality strategy and business development will play a big part in reinforcing our existing relationships and winning new business.”
