Slightly different SQL, than Sergey's should do the job too (not tested):

select Table2.*, Table1.OecName from Table2 inner join table1 on Table2.Owner=Table1.oecID ;
union ;
select Table2.*, Table1.OecName from Table2 inner join table1 on Table2.Engineer=Table1.oecID ;
union ;
select Table2.*, Table1.OecName from Table2 inner join table1 on Table2.Contractor=Table1.oecID ;
