Senior Geophysicist

Job Description

Do you want to join our Geo-data revolution? Fugro’s global reach and unique know-how will put the world at your fingertips. Our love of exploration and technical expertise help us to provide our clients with invaluable insights. We source and make sense of the most relevant Geo-data for their needs, so they can design, build and operate their assets more safely, sustainably and efficiently. But we’re always looking for new talent to take the next step with us. For bright minds who enjoy meaningful work and want to push our pioneering spirit further. For individuals who can take the initiative but work well within a team.

The role

Fugro is excited to invite an experienced Senior Geophysicist to join our dynamic Geoscience team within the Marine Geoconsulting division, located in the picturesque town of Wallingford, Oxfordshire. This is a remarkable opportunity to be part of a global team dedicated to marine site characterization and engineering projects. In this role, you will immerse yourself in the fascinating world of geophysical data interpretation and reporting, contributing to impactful projects that enhance our understanding of marine environments.

As you navigate this dynamic field, you will utilise advanced interpretation workstations to integrate diverse geophysical data sets from both seabed and sub-seabed sources with geological and geotechnical information. This integrated approach is essential for producing comprehensive geological and geohazard site appraisals that inform critical decision-making. Your meticulous organisation of data, preparation of detailed reports, and monitoring of project budgets and schedules will ensure that everything stays on track.

Working alongside experts in Engineering Geology, Geotechnics, Dynamic Modelling, Environmental studies, and GIS, you’ll foster a holistic understanding of each project. Plus, your effective communication with clients and input on technical proposals will be invaluable, as will your mentorship of junior geophysicists, helping to cultivate the next generation of talent in this exciting field.
