As Offshore Geotechnical Engineer you will be responsible for planning, executing, and interpreting geotechnical investigations to support the design and installation of offshore structures, including wind turbine foundations, oil & gas platforms, subsea pipelines, and seabed installations. The role involves interpretation, data analysis, and foundation design/installation recommendations while ensuring compliance with industry standards and project requirements.
Responsibilities
* Plan Offshore site investigations by defining scopes of work and selecting appropriate sampling/testing methods (e.g., CPT, boreholes).
* Analyse soil data to interpret lab results and derive geotechnical parameters like shear strength and stiffness.
* Prepare Technical Reports, compile Geotechnical Interpretive Reports (GIRs) and Foundation Design Reports (FDRs).
* Support foundation design by providing input for piles, suction caissons and shallow foundations.
* Perform Pile Analysis, calculate axial/lateral capacities and assess installation feasibility.
* Assist Engineering Phases, contribute to FEED and detailed design stages with geotechnical expertise.
* Ensure standards compliance following ISO, API, DNV codes and client specifications.
* Manage Geotechnical Risks, participate in HAZID/HAZOP and review third-party deliverables.
* Uphold Safety & Quality, align with Saipem's HSEQ policies and maintain personal and team safety.
* Coordinate & Collaborate with engineering teams and report findings to stakeholders.
What are we looking for?
Experience: 5-10 years in offshore geotechnical roles with pile & foundations design and installation activities.
Education: Degree in Geotechnical Engineering, Civil/Structural Engineering or similar.
Technical skills: shallow foundations, pile installation, CPT interpretation, soil-structure interaction and geotechnical data interpretation.
IT skills: Finite Element Analysis software (PLAXIS or ABAQUS).
What's on offer?
* Contract role full time.
* Hybrid working.
* Outside IR35.
We welcome applications from every walk of life and are committed to diversity within the industries we support, as a certified Inclusive Recruiter and Armed Forces friendly employer.
