UTEC Survey, an Acteon company, is strengthening its leadership team with two key promotions. In Houston, Cory Goodyear will become General Manager after eight years with the company. Additionally, UTEC NCS Survey in Aberdeen has promoted Simon Goldsworthy to Sales and Marketing Manager for its Europe and Africa (EA) region.

Between them, Simon and Cory offer combined industry experience totaling almost 40 years in a variety of settings and they will play key roles in driving forward UTEC’s ambitious plans for continued global growth in key marketplaces.

Cory has 18 years’ offshore-related experience having started as a Field Surveyor before becoming a Project Manager. He began his career at UTEC as Offshore Manager, and was responsible for the opening of UTEC’s Canadian office in 2011. He has recently moved to the U.S. to take up his new role where he will be primarily responsible for profitability, resource management and logistics.

Simon joined NCS Survey as a Business Development Manager in 2014 and was involved with its merger with UTEC subsequent to the Acteon purchase of UTEC in late 2014. Simon has 19 years’ offshore marketplace experience, including Sales Manager and International and Export Sales Manager for leading offshore operators.

UTEC Chief Executive Martin O’Carroll said, “When you face challenging market conditions, it is vital to have the correct personnel to drive the business forward – both Cory and Simon have the credentials and experience to do this and we look forward to their input in helping us achieve our corporate ambitions to define subsea services.”
