About this role

Your responsibilities

As Marine Geophysicist Offshore Site Surveys, you are responsible for the planning, execution, and quality control of offshore geophysical surveys with a particular focus on ultra-high-resolution (UUHR) multi-channel seismic data acquisition and interpretation. You ensure that survey systems are configured correctly, data quality meets project specifications, and that geophysical results support engineering, site investigation, and offshore development activities. The role focuses on UUHR multi-channel seismic surveys as a core competency, while also supporting integrated offshore site survey campaigns involving additional acoustic and geophysical methods such as MBES, SSS, SBP, and magnetic surveys.

Geophysical Survey Operations

Plan and execute offshore geophysical site surveys with a focus on UUHR multi-channel seismic acquisition
Configure and supervise seismic acquisition systems including sources, streamers, navigation, and recording systems
Ensure correct deployment, calibration, and alignment of seismic sensors and acquisition equipment
Support vessel teams during mobilization, demobilization, and offshore survey operations
Monitor acquisition parameters and ensure compliance with survey specifications, operational procedures, and safety standards

Data Quality Control & Processing

Perform real-time and post-acquisition quality control of geophysical data
Verify data integrity, navigation accuracy, and acquisition parameters
Conduct basic to intermediate seismic data processing, including:
- Geometry definition
- Filtering and noise attenuation
- Deconvolution
- Velocity analysis
- Stacking and migration for high-resolution datasets
Prepare processed datasets and preliminary seismic sections for internal and client use

Geophysical Interpretation & Reporting

Interpret high-resolution seismic data for shallow subsurface characterization
Identify geological features relevant to offshore engineering, subsea infrastructure, and site investigation projects
Produce geophysical interpretation products, including seismic profiles, maps, and integrated survey reports
Support project teams with geophysical expertise during survey planning and execution

Integrated Survey Support

Support the planning and execution of integrated offshore survey campaigns involving multiple geophysical and hydroacoustic systems
Contribute to surveys using Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES), Side Scan Sonar (SSS), Sub-Bottom Profiler (SBP), and magnetic survey systems when required
Apply basic understanding of magnetic measurements in the context of UXO detection and site investigation
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 a related field
Minimum 5 years of experience in marine geophysics, particularly in offshore site investigation or geophysical survey operations
Strong experience with high-resolution or ultra-high-resolution seismic systems, including acquisition and interpretation
Solid understanding of offshore survey environments and vessel-based operations
Knowledge of additional survey methods such as MBES, SSS, SBP, and magnetic surveys is beneficial
Basic understanding of magnetic data acquisition and interpretation related to UXO detection is an advantage
Experience working with seismic processing and interpretation software
Ability to troubleshoot acquisition systems and optimize survey performance
Experience supporting or participating in offshore survey campaigns
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills in complex technical environments
Ability to work collaboratively across survey, engineering, and project teams
Fluent in English (spoken and written); German is an advantage
Willingness to travel and participate in offshore mobilizations and survey campaigns
