Position
As an Engineering Geologist you will be a member of the Engineering Geology and Geohazards department within [Company] located in [Location]. The role involves performing engineering geological and geohazard site appraisals through the interpretation and integration of geophysical, geological and geotechnical data. The role involves working offshore on geotechnical drilling and survey vessels. The candidate will be trained on the use of in-house software and process on a variety of projects located throughout the world.
Key Responsibilities:
• Interpret and integrate seismic, geological and geotechnical data to produce engineering and geohazard site appraisals
• Log sediment cores for geotechnical, geological and geohazard purposes
• Act as shift geologist on field investigations
• Assist in the production of geohazard site appraisal, field, laboratory, parameter and engineering reports
• Check and correct field and laboratory data processed by others
• Assign laboratory tests and manage laboratory test programmes for both geotechnical and geological purposes
• Provide geological input to geotechnical engineering projects
• Check geological interpretations and conclusions of others either remotely or through peer assist sessions
• Example recent projects:
• Determining the geological history of an offshore site from geotechnical borehole samples, in-site tests and regional data to help understand and constrain the ground conditions;
• Terrain mapping from high resolution geophysical data to assist a client in finding in an acceptable route for a pipeline that runs across seismically active continental shelf, slope and abyssal plain;
• Detailed lithostratigraphic logging to identify multiple mass movement events and assess the potential impact on foundations and flowlines;
• Prediction of soil conditions based on integration of geophysical and geotechnical data to provide input to engineering.
Position requirements
The successful candidate should have:
• A university degree in Geology or Engineering Geology
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• An interest in the application of marine geology and sedimentology
• The ability to communicate complex information and share ideas to varied audiences
• A commitment to producing quality work
• The capacity to work as part of an innovative and highly effective team
Other skills that may be highly beneficial include:
• Experience with ArcGIS
• Familiarity with SMT Kingdom, or similar seismic workstations
• Technical report writing experience (e.g. from applied work experience or during academic study)
What we offer
Working for the Engineering Geology and Geohazards department provides the opportunity to work as part of a small, yet expanding, team of Engineering Geologists on numerous exciting and varied projects worldwide with long term potential for skill and career development.
