Cathie is a leading global offshore geoscience and geotechnical engineering consultancy specialising in geospatial analysis, marine geophysics and geotechnics, marine cables and landing, foundation engineering, pipelines, trenching and numerical analyses. We continuously challenge the way we do things with a view to improve and innovate. We work primarily in the offshore renewable energy industry for clients who design, install and operate offshore, nearshore and onshore infrastructure. Our engineering geology discipline is in high demand due to our depth of experience, team size and reputation in the offshore industry advising high profile developers and contractors alike.

Typical deliverables will involve desk studies, geoscience reports, interpretations, survey design and management, ground investigation reports for large windfarms, engineering assessments (cables or foundations), construction planning, tender and supervision support. You will lead research and implementation of new and standard methods, advance the best practice of the company and mentor Junior staff. You will be leading some of the current initiatives designed to deepen our knowledge in advanced laboratory testing and interpretation, database reporting, python programming, machine learning, cable landing engineering, etc. You will be given the opportunity to learn from Cathie’s position and experience in the market, exchange views with similarly skilled peers and be part of the senior team in charge of setting the next company challenges.
