About York McCauley

Nothing\'s worth doing, if you\'re not willing to put your name to it!\'- Herbert Omsberg (Grandpa Herb) This is my most sacred ethos. The driver at my core that lends itself to every aspect of my life, professional or personal. I always find myself conscientiously ascertaining if I would be proud of my effort; if my grandfather would. I have too much to live up to, to submit something that is sub-par. I’m not one to delay progress in the pursuit of perfection, but would be embarrassed if my effort was anything less than 100% given the parameters of the task at hand. Over the years, I’ve gained a sense of confidence, believing that irrespective of what I’m tasked to do, even if I have no idea how to do it, I can use determination and effort to get it done successfully. I wanted to be a starting center as a 5’9 sophomore for the varsity basketball team, done. I wanted to go to college and play football on scholarship, done. My daughter wants me to help her with her math homework using common core method, done (thanks YouTube)! New country? New Industry? New role? Done, done, and done. At every turn I’ve attacked new opportunities with a voracity and level of effort that I hope would make my grandfather proud. After all, he was deployed to active theater during World War II as a tank mechanic. He designed parts in modern Cummins diesel engines and gave those designs to Cummins because they made his job easier (large displacement diesel mechanic). He was the patriarch of a family of 8 that have achieved amazing things. The least I could do was put every fiber of effort in my body into what I was doing. Those that I’ve worked with throughout the globe know that effort is not something I lack. I pride myself on that, and it is one of the things I focus most on, in my role as a leader and even as a father. I have never been the biggest, smartest, most educated, or most experienced in any room, and I’m thankful for that. That self-awareness has always lent me to learn from those around me, to absorb and retain the knowledge and experience so generously gifted to me by my peers and mentors alike, and then apply my newfound knowledge or skills with a particular voraciousness that even Grandpa Herb would have to nod at. It’s not worth doing if you’re not going to do it right, if you’re not willing to have the world know that it’s the fruit of you and your team’s labors. This is what drives me, what’s your core ethos?

Experience

1. Director, Cementing Technologies

   Expro

   Apr 2025 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   After a rewarding two years as Global Director of Business Development for Well Construction, I took on a new challenge—leading our Cementing Technologies team. Business Development gave me the chance to work across a wide portfolio and connect dots across the company, but when the opportunity came to dig deep into cementing, I couldn’t say no. I was ready to roll up my sleeves and get closer to the technology.I step into the role, leading an incredibly talented team—folks with decades of field wisdom and a real drive to push boundaries. Our cementing portfolio is strong, diverse, and primed for international expansion. I’m looking forward to working side-by-side with our regional teams to bring Expro Cementing to all 65+ countries where we operate.It’s an exciting chapter, and I’m grateful to be part of it.
