Geophysicist (Offshore Wind)

Job Title: Geohazard Specialist/ Geophysicist/ Petrophysicist (Offshore Wind)

Job Location: Sunbury-on-Thames (hybrid)

Contract Length: Until 31/03/2024 (Maternity cover - possibility to extend)

Industry: Oil and Energy, Subsurface, Offshore Wind, Renewables

Working Hours: 8 per day/ 40 per week

Role Overview:

You will be part of an integrated geoscience team developing fit-for-purpose ground models and ground-engineering for bid assessment through design, construction, and operation.

Ground modelling, and management of natural geohazards (seismicity, shallow gas, slope instability etc) and obstructions (challenging seafloor and seabed conditions, debris, boulders, UXO, etc.) is a critical aspect of offshore wind farm development.

The role is fundamental to identifying the optimum locations and engineering solutions for offshore wind developments. It requires collaboration with survey, engineering, and construction disciplines to safely deliver site investigations and projects.

What you will have:

• Degree in Geoscience, Engineering or related field.
• Excellent understanding of the impact of Marine Geohazards issues to operational safety and integrity in delivery of the bp vision.
• Ability to rapidly identify and communicate key issues in support of the growth of bp's Offshore Renewables - especially in relation to the assessment of entry to new operational areas.
• Experience in delivering Ground modelling and Geohazards Assessments across a variety of international settings, for very shallow (e.g. cables) and shallow (e.g. foundation) settings.
• Excellent interpersonal skills both oral and written.
• Proven experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams and major projects with minimal technical supervision

Beneficial Skills:

• PhD/MSc on Geohazards related subject.
• Excellent network across the global geoscience technical community.
• Membership of relevant industry panels or standards organizations (e.g. SUT, OGP, ISO etc).
