Key Responsibilities
  • Complete geotechnical engineering aspects for SURF scopes, collaborating with the wider team.

  • Demonstrable role-relevant experience, with a working understanding of offshore site investigations, foundation design, product/soil interaction, and product mechanical protection aspects.
  • Practical experience of GIS data systems, such as ArcGIS and ArcMAP, is beneficial but not essential.
  • Effective interpersonal and communication skills, building and maintaining positive internal/external collaborative relationships and providing mentorship and guidance.
  • Commercially aware with effective planning and organizing skills, able to identify and effectively prioritize workload and efficiently meet multiple, often competing deadlines.
  • Highly numerate, with excellent analytical skills, and an ability to work with detail and accuracy.
  • Flexible to adapt to changing priorities within a fast-paced 24/7 global business.
  • Pro-active and solutions-based, able to understand business and client needs and develop new and innovative 'fit for purpose' solutions.
  • Committed to continuous improvement and identification of efficient work methods and processes.
  • Ability to undertake reasonable planned travel and offshore assignments, as required.
