The role

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Fugro in Aberdeen for four Geo Data Advisors to join the expanding Remote Operation Centres (ROC). These roles involve working as part of a team, managing personnel from both Fugro and subcontractors, and training less experienced geophysicists. The ideal candidates will be experts in geophysical field operations and data sets, with a strong knowledge of geotechnics, GIS, and geology. As part of the Geo Science team, the Geo Data Advisors will interact with various internal contacts within the Client Deliverables teams and project supporting functions.

The functional activities for this role encompass a variety of responsibilities. These include providing subject matter expertise to support complex geophysical processing and interpretation matters, such as Side Scan sonar, Magnetometer, Sub-bottom Profiler, and 2D HR/UHRS. Additionally, the role involves assisting in identifying root causes on acquired geo-data by generating possible solutions and evaluating alternatives. Ensuring Quality Control (QC) processes are followed and maintained throughout project acquisition is also a key responsibility. The role requires assisting in writing and reviewing quality incident reports, fostering proactive communication across all project-related stakeholders (both internal and external, remote and vessel-based), and allocating ROC resources on projects based on client requirements and employees' skills and competencies. Assessing workloads across projects and redistributing technical experts to maximize support, especially during weather forecasts or technical downtimes, is another important task. Supporting client engagement when technical issues cannot be readily resolved, initiating Geo Data Factory support requests with appointed ROC staff, and performing PPARs at the end of the rotation for allocated remote geophysicists are also part of the role. Advising on training and development areas for remote geophysicists present at the ROC during the rotation, with feedback shared with their respective line managers for further discussions, is crucial. Lastly, promoting robust handovers at the end of the rotation, particularly when severe quality incidents have occurred, is essential.

This job is ideal for individuals who excel in a team environment and possess strong proactive communication skills. The candidate should have a higher professional education or academic higher education level, preferably in the fields of Geophysics. They should also have expert experience with software such as Sonar Wiz, Uniseis, Oasis Montaj, Arc (Map and/or Pro), and Kingdom.
