Geophysicist (Offshore Wind)

We are recruiting a permanent Senior Marine Geophysicist for an ocean data company who collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment by using a marine robotic system.

They offer a more flexible work/life balance with remote work from home options. They also offer pension, private healthcare, 25 days of annual leave, and annual performance bonuses.

Our client is an ocean data company – we collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment. However, we do this differently, instead of using conventional crewed survey ships, we have developed a marine robotic system known as an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV).

The candidate will be responsible for geophysical data collection, processing, interpretation and reporting.

Responsibilities will include:

• Remote data acquisition and processing of MBES, Side-scan Sonar, & shallow Sub-bottom Profiler (Innomar) sensors.
• Side scan sonar data processing including seabed picking, interpretation, production of mosaic and seabed features
• Shallow SBP (Innomar) processing and interpretation.
• Magnetometer data processing.
• Data processing and quality control of all survey geophysical data, creating final deliverables to a high standard.
• Survey System Setup – hardware and software configuration prior to vessel mobilisation on a project.
• Online surveying on projects in shifts.
• Quality Control – monitoring of the data being captured using online and offline survey tools.
• Report writing and client interaction.

Requirements: Essential Skills / Attributes and Experience

• Degree in Geoscience or Geophysics.
• Acquisition and processing experience of MBES, Side-scan Sonar, & Shallow sub-bottom Sensors.
• Experience in one or more of Chesapeake SonarWiz, DUG Insight and Oasis Montaj processing software packages.
• Sidescan Sonar processing experience to include seabed picking; target ID, tagging and listing; the creation and export of navigationally and gain corrected mosaics. Production of seabed features based on SSS, MBES and backscatter.
• Innomar data processing to include SEGy conversion/tidal reduction and export, band-pass and denoise filtering, acoustic-gain control, interpretation and export of subsurface horizons and contact hyperbolas.
• Magnetometer processing to include filtering and processing of the navigation; the creation of residual, analytical signal and altitude grids, and the production of a final target listing and project specific deliverables.
• 3 years Marine Survey Experience.
• Strong computer literacy (Configuration of sensor equipment required).
• Enthusiastic, positive and proactive nature with a keen attention to detail.
