Ground Engineering & Geophysics Expert

Job Requirements :

• You will be part of an integrated Site Assessment (survey acquisition) and Ground Engineering team providing site survey and developing fit-for-purpose ground models and ground-engineering for bid assessment through design, construction, and operation.
• Provide geohazards expertise across offshore wind portfolio through the project lifecycle, including
• geohazard survey and consultancy scoping and technical oversight in survey and consultancy execution
• ground modelling and geohazard management for permanent and temporary works
• Ensure geohazard (seismicity, shallow gas, slope instability etc) and obstructions (challenging seafloor and seabed conditions, debris, boulders, UXO, etc) identification, assessment and mitigation, for appropriate depths of interest (e.G. cable or foundation), by avoidance or by design at windfarm sites, cable routes, landfalls and onshore facilities, during site investigation and project design and execution.
• Work within an integrated geoscience team to build fit-for-purpose ground models for wind farm engineering.
• Quantify and present ground engineering risks to relevant customers to ensure they are understood, controlled and continuously reduced across the business.
• Collaborate with safety, consent and procurement teams to ensure robust execution of works.
• Collaborate with associated foundation, and transmission engineering, and construction disciplines to safely deliver site investigations and project infrastructure.
• Ensure safe and cost-efficient design and integrity management throughout asset life in accordance with and industry technical practices and standards.
• Maintain relationships with third party suppliers, contractors, and other partners.
• Actively contribute to technology development and to the wider geohazards and geophysics communities of practice to share knowledge and findings.
