Epsom Surrey, United Kingdom AtkinsRéalis Full time

We have a great opportunity in our UK team for an ambitious Sediment Dynamics Engineer to join our multi-disciplinary Marine Geo-team, with a focus on acting as technical lead for seabed mobility and scour assessment scopes of work.

With more than 300 professionals, AtkinsRéalis’ ground engineering reputation is built on the skills, excellence and commitment of our people in all aspects of ground engineering.

You will act Technical Lead for sediment dynamics, within our Marine Geoscience service line, leading both seabed mobility and scour assessments scopes of work. You will act as a mentor to junior members of staff in the area of seabed dynamics, and also take the lead in developing AtkinsRéalis’ sediment dynamics capabilities, such as by further developing our in-house scour tools, undertaking business development activities as well as presenting our sediment dynamics capabilities to key clients.

  • Acting as a champion for sediment dynamics within AtkinsRéalis’ Marine Geoscience team.
  • Undertaking seabed mobility and scour assessments for offshore wind farm and subsea cables projects.
  • Calibrate models throughout the lifetime of the project.
  • Integration and analysis of metocean, hydrodynamic, hydrographic and geotechnical data.
  • Numerical sediment dynamics modelling of the seabed throughout the lifetime of the engineered infrastructure (offshore wind farms and cable routes).
  • Working closely with marine geophysicists & geoscientists, engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, and engineering geomorphologists on offshore renewables and subsea cable projects.

Candidates should have:

  • A strong academic background with a relevant degree (ideally MSc or equivalent) with geoscience or civil engineering content.
  • Experience of acting in a relevant role within the offshore renewables industry, interconnector or telecommunications cables industries or a related field.
  • Experience of working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Excellent interpersonal and technical skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team on sediment dynamics scopes of work.
  • Ability to undertake statistical assessment of sediment mobility from bathymetric data.
  • Experience in performing scour and bed shear stress analysis.
  • Ability to undertake hydrodynamic and sediment dynamics modelling using applicable software such as Mike21, Delft3D or equivalent.
  • Excellent report writing skills with the ability to self-check and produce accurate work.

The following qualities are desirable:

  • Working towards chartership with the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) or Geological Society of London (GSL).
  • Experience in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software (ArcGIS, QGIS or similar).
