Our client is seeking a skilled Cable Route Survey Engineer to play a pivotal role in designing and optimizing offshore cable routes for cutting-edge HVDC projects. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to sustainable energy development within a dynamic, international environment.
As a Cable Route Survey Engineer, you will support the development and execution of seabed surveys essential for offshore cable routing. Reporting directly to the Cable Stream Lead, you will coordinate survey activities, interpret data, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, reliable inputs for route engineering, tendering, and contractor coordination. Your expertise will help ensure the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible installation of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cables.
Key Responsibilities
* Define seabed survey requirements (geophysical and geotechnical) aligned with project specifications and standards.
* Draft, review, and maintain technical specifications for survey campaigns.
* Prepare comprehensive survey information packages for tender processes, including geological and geotechnical inputs for EPCI tendering.
* Manage and update survey data, route alignments, and constraints within the project GIS environment.
* Support route refinement and optimization through analysis of survey results.
* Interpret survey data to identify geological features, hazards, and long-term installation risks, including seabed morphology and water depth assessments.
* Evaluate survey-related tender submissions from contractors.
* Support clarification processes and technical queries.
* Contribute technical expertise to contractual negotiations.
* Oversee survey vessel activities, equipment readiness, and survey quality assurance.
* Support the review of survey method statements and QA/QC approaches.
* Monitor survey progress, review deliverables, and ensure compliance with project specifications.
* Work closely with internal teams to understand data needs and translate findings into actionable insights.
* Ensure timely and accurate documentation in line with contractual and industry standards.
Profile
* Master's degree in Oceanography, Geology, Geophysics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
* Willingness to travel locally and internationally (UK, ports, construction sites) as required.
* Proven expertise in offshore geophysical and geotechnical survey methods, preferably within the North Sea region.
* Strong experience with survey planning, execution, QA/QC, and reporting standards.
* Proficiency with GIS systems (ArcGIS, GISGRO) and AutoCAD.
