About this role

Your responsibilities

As Marine Geophysicist Geophysical & UXO Surveys, you are responsible for the planning, execution, and quality control of offshore geophysical survey campaigns with a strong focus on geophysical site investigations and UXO surveys. You ensure high data quality, proper system configuration, and reliable interpretation results to support offshore construction, cable routing, wind farm development, and subsea infrastructure projects. The role focuses on integrated geophysical and UXO survey operations, including magnetic and hydroacoustic systems. Experience with ultra-high-resolution (UUHR) multi-channel seismic surveys is considered beneficial.

Geophysical & UXO Survey Operations

Plan and execute offshore geophysical site surveys with a strong focus on UXO detection and clearance support
Configure and supervise magnetic survey systems (gradiometers, magnetometers) for UXO investigations
Ensure correct deployment, calibration, positioning, and performance monitoring of survey equipment
Oversee acquisition of MBES, SSS, SBP, and magnetic data
Support vessel teams during mobilization, demobilization, and offshore survey campaigns
Monitor acquisition parameters to ensure compliance with project specifications, HSE standards, and UXO survey requirements
Contribute to survey methodology design including line planning, sensor layout, and target detection optimization

Data Quality Control & Processing

Perform real-time quality control of geophysical and magnetic datasets
Verify navigation accuracy, sensor offsets, layback calculations, and acquisition parameters
Conduct processing of magnetic and hydroacoustic datasets for UXO target detection
Apply filtering, noise attenuation, and target enhancement techniques
Support interpretation workflows for anomaly classification and target prioritization
Prepare processed datasets and preliminary interpretation outputs for internal and client reporting

Geophysical Interpretation & Reporting

Interpret magnetic and hydroacoustic datasets for UXO target identification and seabed characterization
Classify magnetic anomalies and support target risk assessment
Identify seabed features and shallow subsurface structures relevant to offshore construction
Produce charts, target lists, GIS products, and integrated geophysical reports
Support clients and project teams with geophysical expertise during survey planning and execution

Integrated Offshore Survey Support

Contribute to integrated offshore site investigation campaigns combining geophysical, hydroacoustic systems
Support continuous improvement of survey procedures and processing workflows
Collaborate with surveyors, engineers, and project teams to ensure consistent data quality across different survey methods

Your profile

Degree in Geophysics, Marine Geology, Geosciences, or related field
Minimum 5 years of experience in marine geophysics with strong involvement in offshore geophysical and/or UXO surveys
Proven experience with magnetic acquisition systems for UXO detection
Solid knowledge of magnetic data processing and anomaly interpretation
Experience in offshore vessel-based survey operations
Ability to troubleshoot acquisition systems and optimize survey performance
Experience supporting offshore construction, cable route surveys, or wind farm developments
Offshore certifications (e.g., BOSIET, offshore medical) are advantageous
Strong analytical and technical problem-solving skills
Fluent in English (spoken and written); German is an advantage
Willingness to travel and participate in offshore survey campaigns
