Job Requirements
• You will be part of an integrated Site Assessment (survey acquisition) and Ground Engineering team developing fit-for-purpose ground models and ground-engineering for bid assessment through design, construction, and operation.
• The ground models and engineering jointly developed by acquiring, interpreting and engineering with ground data are a critical part of wind farm development; and have meaningful impact to LCoE. It requires collaboration with foundation engineering, and construction disciplines to safely deliver site investigations, foundation design and ultimately foundation installation.
• The focus of the role is the geotechnical aspects of site-assessment related to the design, construction, and installation of foundations for Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) and associated infrastructure (offshore and onshore substations, cables) in support of bp’s low carbon energy projects and operations.
• Provide geotechnical engineering expertise across offshore wind portfolio from bid through development to operations.
• Work within an integrated geoscience team to acquire and build fit for purpose integrated ground models for wind farm engineering.
• Utilise ground models to ensure robust foundation concept selection, design, installation and operation for fixed and floating facilities, minimising LCoE
• Quantifying and presenting (geo) hazards and opportunities to relevant stakeholders to ensure they are understood and controlled across the business.
• Ensure safe and cost-efficient design and integrity management throughout asset life in accordance with bp and industry technical practices and standards.
• Maintain relationships with third party suppliers, contractors, and other partners.
• Actively contribute to technology development and to the wider geotechnical engineering community of practice to share knowledge and findings.

Work Experience
• Civil/ Geotechnical engineering degree.
• Extensive relevant industry experience
• Appropriate professional accreditation
• Excellent knowledge of industry codes and standards.
• Excellent interpersonal skills both oral and written.
• Proven experience in Offshore Wind ground engineering, and proficient to design, manage, check, approve, authorise and take ownership for a wide range of ground engineering services, and foundation types e.g. Monopiles, suction caissons, driven piles, drilled and grouted piles, shallow foundations (inc Gravity base structures and Jack-up units); anchors and Cables e.g. burial-risk assessments, thermal response, landfall and onshore design.
• Proven experience in planning and implementation of site investigations, characterization and ground model development by means of standard and advanced methods for sampling and testing of soils and rocks, assimilation and integration of data with geological and geophysical information, and development of geotechnical basis of design.
• Expert user of industry standard project and engineering software.

Beneficial skills
• Masters/ PhD in relevant engineering discipline
• Fundamental understanding of soil and rock constitutive behaviour.
• Fundamental understanding of foundation design approaches and response for static and dynamic loading.
• Excellent network across the global geoscience technical community.
• Membership of relevant industry panels or standards organizations (e.g. SUT, OGP, ISO etc).
• Excellent Project Management Skills
