Senior Geotechnical Engineer

Join us in this role where you’ll be responsible for delivering high-quality engineering soil and rock properties for facility design, installation assessments, power cable engineering, and more. You’ll be deeply involved in several wind farm projects and R&D initiatives on a global scale, where you’ll apply your experience and knowledge to scope, analyse, and interpret geotechnical in situ data and laboratory test results to provide input to a large suite of internal and external stakeholders.

Welcome to Geotechnical Site Assessment
You’ll be part of Geotechnical Site Assessment Europe where you’ll provide fundamental input to the development of some of the world’s largest wind farms. Moreover, you’ll contribute to pushing forward developments within applied offshore geotechnics and advanced software tools through several in-house R&D projects.

• taking our development projects through all stages, from the early definition of data acquisition strategies to the delivery of state-of-the-art geotechnical input to our offshore wind farms
• scoping, analysing, and interpreting large geotechnical datasets for providing high-quality site characterisations and engineering soil/rock properties for facility design and installation assessments
• reporting the engineering soil/rock properties in a detailed, transparent, and consistent way for obtaining certification and regulatory approval
• contributing to the maturation and execution of several R&D initiatives for developing new ground investigation techniques and interpretation methods within soil and rock mechanics
• engaging in close collaboration with our supply chain and site investigation contractors for ensuring fit-for-purpose testing techniques and high-quality results.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have a master’s or PhD degree in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, or equivalent
• have a keen interest in offshore site characterisation and analyses of in situ data and laboratory test results
• have a high degree of personal responsibility and accountability and are capable of working with different tasks in parallel
