Geotechnical Engineer

Benefits

Additional Information

At DEME Offshore, our geotechnical team applies geotechnics to make complex offshore installation work safe, efficient and certifiable. From tender to offshore execution, you'll help shape jack up leg penetration & preloading strategies and derisk foundation installation. You'll collaborate closely with tender, project and vessel teams, turning soil data into practical, reliable engineering decisions that keep our projects moving - safely and on budget. Your responsibilities Own the geotechnical scope from bid through installation: translate client & standard requirements into clear geotechnical inputs, acceptance criteria and operational constraints. Assess jack‑up operations: leg penetration predictions, evaluation of boundary conditions to allow for safe jacking operations, review of site‑specific assessments (SSA). Derisk foundation installation: drivability and installation assessments (impact/vibro/drilling/suction), pile run and stability checks, soil‑structure interaction topics relevant to installation. Interrogate and upgrade the data: scope, guide and interpret site investigations (CPTs, borings, lab tests); consolidate and quality‑check data; build design soil profiles for installation engineering. Turn analysis into action offshore: brief vessel teams about geotechnical conditions and constraints before mobilisation and support while offshore when required. Collaborate & communicate: work with methods, structural, naval and equipment colleagues to align on solutions; explain geotechnical choices to non‑geotechnical stakeholders. Continuously improve: contribute to in‑house tools, templates and knowledge (e.g., automation/scripts, data workflows) and capture lessons learned across projects. Your profile Master's in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering 2+ years of relevant experience as a geotechnical engineer (offshore experience is a plus, strong motivation to specialise offshore is essential). Working knowledge of geotechnical analysis and relevant software (e.g., PLAXIS, GRLWEAP, LPILE or equivalents). Comfortable reading CPTs/boring logs and defining design soil profiles for installation problems. Programming skills (preferably Python) and an interest in data‑driven workflows are assets. Clear, concise communicator in English (additional languages are a plus). Organized, curious, collaborative; able to perform under time pressure while keeping a high quality bar. Willingness to travel regularly for meetings and offshore support trips. Our offer An extensive mobility program for a healthy work-life balance; A permanent training track which allows you to develop yourself personally and professionally; A stimulating, innovative workplace with numerous growth opportunities; A people-oriented environment with an interactive health program and a focus on employee wellbeing.
