About The Position

Woolpert is seeking a Geophysical Data Processing Specialist to join their Geospatial Maritime Data Processing Team. This role is eligible for remote work, with the team primarily supporting projects on the west coast (Pacific Time). The team supports various projects including 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 hydrographic and marine geophysical survey teams within the United States. Travel and field work are not required. The role involves processing data from primary survey tools such as magnetometer, sub-bottom profiler, side scan sonar, and multibeam. The candidate will also be expected to process multibeam data approximately 50% of the time to support all projects.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in surveying, geomatics, environmental science, ocean engineering, geology, geography, geophysics, oceanography, spatial science, marine science or comparable field.
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

Nice To Haves

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

Responsibilities

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.
