- Deliver high‑quality geotechnical data by processing, logging and testing soil and rock samples in line with Fugro procedures and relevant standards (e.g., BS5930, Eurocode 7, ISO).
- Support offshore site investigations by performing in‑situ testing, laboratory work and accurate data recording during shift-based operations.
- Ensure all data whether logged, tested, processed or interpreted is complete, accurate and ready for integration into project deliverables.
- Maintain high safety and quality standards, including compliance with QHSE procedures and RPE requirements where applicable.
Responsibilities
- Conduct core logging, basic geotechnical testing, thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity testing in both onshore and offshore settings.
- Enter, process and validate data using spreadsheets and in‑house software such as GeODin and GERRIT, including calculations and QA/QC checks.
- Assist in equipment calibration, maintenance and inventory, ensuring smooth operation of the logging facility and offshore lab.
- Support training of team members and contribute to generation of project deliverables and reports.
- Collaborate effectively across teams including laboratory staff, project managers, QHSE teams and client representatives to meet project objectives.
