Geotechnical Engineer

Join us in this role where you’ll work in the Subsea Cables engineering team, supporting design and installation considerations relating to geotechnical site assessment, cable route design, cable burial risk assessment, and cable trenching feasibility installation assessments for our inter-array and export cable routes globally. You’re not required to have a background in subsea engineering; instead, you have a passion for geotechnical engineering and, ideally, strong data management capabilities and some programming language skills.

Welcome to the Geotechnical department
You’ll be part of the Subsea Cables engineering team where you, together with your colleagues, will follow the offshore wind projects from early development through to execution and the operational phase of the wind farm, and where you’ll interact with many different internal and external stakeholders in the process. You’ll be working closely together with other geotechnical engineers, geologists, and geophysicists in characterising our offshore wind farm sites and cable routes. You’ll join a strong and supportive team of very dedicated colleagues with a high focus on learning and development.

You’ll play an important role in:

• performing trenching feasibility assessments based on geotechnical conditions
• performing probabilistic analyses to quantify cable burial risk as a result of anchor/soil interaction
• developing the thermal parameters design basis to support HV cable thermal rating calculations
• supporting the development of in-house tools for predicting jetting, plough, and mechanical cutting performance
• supporting the development of geoscience ground models to manage ground-based risks on projects.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have a master’s degree or PhD in engineering, preferably in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, or equivalent
• preferably have a basic understanding of programming, databases, and GIS software
• thrive in an international environment
• have excellent communication skills and speak and write English fluently.
