Bio
Ian Harvie
This is to confirm that Gordon Lowrie worked for KCADeutag from 2013 until 2016 in our Sakhalin operations. He was employed as Senior Mechanic on-board the Piltun B platform which is a 4th generation drilling unit operation in the Sea of Okhotsk, Sakhalin Island. Gordon was viewed as a very valued member of staff who had very good technical knowledge and was a senior team player who mentored our junior staff and also developed our Russian staff to a high level of expertise. During his time with us he helped carry out some major upgrades on the rig and was involved in major operational rebuilds. I would recommend Gordon for employment with anyone, and should you require further verification, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Gordon is a pleasure to work with, his experience and knowledge is invaluable in not only carrying out his own job, but also in assisting myself and the other disciplines when required, providing sound technical knowledge, advice and assistance. Gordon is a proactive team member and will go out of his way to help others wherever he can. Gordon is a very safety conscience individual, he is not afraid to stop a task if he believes an unsafe activity or an unidentified hazard is present. I am sure Gordon will be a valuable asset to any company who seeks an employee with a great work ethic, technical experience & knowledge and a high safety consciousness.
