Main Duties & Responsibilities

• Responsibilities will include: Remote data acquisition and processing of MBES, Side-scan Sonar, & shallow Sub-bottom Profiler (Innomar) sensors.
• Side scan sonar data processing including seabed picking, interpretation, production of mosaic and seabed features
• Shallow SBP (Innomar) processing and interpretation.
• Magnetometer data processing.
• Data processing and quality control of all survey geophysical data, creating final deliverables to a high standard.
• Survey System Setup – hardware and software configuration prior to vessel mobilisation on a project.
• Online surveying on projects in shifts.
• Quality Control – monitoring of the data being captured using online and offline survey tools
• Report writing and client interaction.
• On occasion this role may involve:
• Support with bathymetry data acquisition and processing
• Support Lead Geophysicist with Survey Planning
• Managing and maintaining Quality, Environment and Health and Safety standards including update, implementation and management of all ISO processes as appropriate to the role
• Implementing, maintaining, managing and updating all standard operating procedures and processes appropriate to the role.

Requirements: Essential Skills / Attributes and Experience

• Degree in Geoscience or Geophysics.
• Acquisition and processing experience of MBES, Side-scan Sonar, & Shallow sub-bottom Sensors.
• Experience in one or more of Chesapeake SonarWiz, DUG Insight and Oasis Montaj processing software packages.
• Sidescan Sonar processing experience to include seabed picking; target ID, tagging and listing; the creation and export of navigationally and gain corrected mosaics. Production of seabed features based on SSS, MBES and backscatter.
• Innomar data processing to include SEGy conversion/tidal reduction and export, band-pass and denoise filtering, acoustic-gain control, interpretation and export of subsurface horizons and contact hyperbolas.
• Magnetometer processing to include filtering and processing of the navigation; the creation of residual, analytical signal and altitude grids, and the production of a final target listing and project specific deliverables.
• 3 years Marine Survey Experience.
• Strong computer literacy (Configuration of sensor equipment required).
• Enthusiastic, positive and proactive nature with a keen attention to detail.

Desirable Experience

• Experience in bathymetry data acquisition and processing.
• Experience of marine survey data acquisition and processing software (e.g. QINSy, Qimera, EIVA etc.)
• ARC GIS and AutoCad knowledge would be an advantage.
• Relevant marine qualifications such as Yachtmaster, Coastal Skipper, ICC (or equivalent)
