We are using and creating technology to transform operations at sea to enable people and the planet to thrive.
We are open-minded and fearless in our approach to innovation and don't believe in boundaries. We challenge everything and have massive ambitions to drag aging industries into the tech era.
We take safety, equality and education very seriously, and our responsibilities don't stop at our front door. Our business is built on the belief that there's definitely a more environmentally responsible way to operate at sea.
We employ people who share our core values. We expect our people to be courageous, trustworthy, and conscientious, driven by a desire to do the right thing. We strive for excellence, work collaboratively, and are genuinely excited by our work.
We offer opportunities for our people to develop beyond their role and span a multitude of disciplines. These are open to all, regardless of background and experience level. Working with us means being part of a team that is harnessing technology and creativity to disrupt a traditional industry.
We are not your average workplace.
Due to continued success and growth, we are looking for committed and technically focused Senior Geotechnical Engineers to join our growing team.
The successful candidate will join the growing data analytics and advice (geoconsulting) team at Geowynd and be responsible for supporting the delivery of technical work packages related to the interpretation of geotechnical data and the design of fixed-bottom and floating support structures for offshore wind turbines.
The Senior Geotechnical Engineer will share their valued input at all stages of offshore wind developments from project feasibility, through site investigation, into detailed design and throughout operations. We are looking for an ambitious, collaborative individual with an innovative mindset to help deliver our industry leading service offering.
