United States onlyWe seek to move the world forward through innovative thinking.
Woolpert is an award-winning, global leader in architecture, engineering, and geospatial services. We blend design excellence with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional client value. Our team is passionate about their work and committed to building the next generation of industry leaders, and as a certified Great Place to Work®, Woolpert embraces progress and innovation to create limitless opportunities for career growth.
Woolpert is hiring a Geophysical Data Processing Specialist to our Geospatial Maritime Data Processing Team. This position is eligible for remote work, although the team supports most projects on the west coast on Pacific Time.
Projects this team typically support are private sector oil & gas, offshore wind, environmental remediation, object detection, cable route design, utility detection, pipeline crossings, and offshore platform and utility inspection surveys.
The data processing team supports the hydrographic and marine geophysical survey teams within the United States. Work travel and field work is not required.
Work duties include data processing for our primary survey tools: magnetometer, sub-bottom profiler, side scan sonar, and multibeam. Multisystem projects are typical therefore although the candidate should have a background processing geophysical data, the data processor will supplement with multibeam ~50% of the time to support all projects.
We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position. Applicants must already possess work authorization in the country the job is located.
What You Will Do:
Daily Tasks will include:
- Marine Geophysical Data Processing: side scan sonar, magnetometer, and sub-bottom profiler data processing (ie: bottom tracking, gain, filtering where applicable), QC, feature detection, feature database creation and management, subsurface horizon delineation, 3D alignment creation, analysis and interpretation, product exports, and reporting. Typically the projects are 1-30 day utility detection surveys or route design surveys.
- Bathymetric Data Processing: multibeam data cleaning, analysis, object detection, database management, and product exports.
- Vessel Based LiDAR Survey Processing: cleaning or classification, object detection, and merging datasets.
- Inspection Class ROV Data Review: inspection analysis, object database management, and video creation in support of pipeline or cable inspections.
- Reporting: high level reporting supporting long term and short term projects, desktop studies, and project proposals.
What You Will Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in surveying, geomatics, environmental science, ocean engineering, geology, geography, geophysics, oceanography, spatial science, marine science or comparable field.
Required Experience and Qualifications:
- Minimum 2 years of experience processing marine geophysical and hydrographic data such as marine magnetometer, sub-bottom, side scan, and multibeam
- Skill sets would include a basic workflow: converting data, importing data, applying filters where needed, ferrous feature detection, sub-surface anomaly detection, and a general understanding of sub-surface horizon mapping
- Experience using geophysical data processing software such as SeaView, SonarWiz, Kingdom, or Oasis Montaj
- Experience using hydrographic data processing software such as QINSy, CARIS, EIVA, or Beamworks
Preferred Experience and Qualifications:
- A foundation in hydrographic and geophysical data collection is not mandatory but is preferred.
- Experience using Global Mapper, ArcGIS, or AutoCad Civil3D
- Experience with 3D visualization
Base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
