Geotechnical Engineer F/M - Ingénieur Géotechnique F/H - Éolien/Wind Offshore

Role context:

Q ENERGY is seeking a Geotechnical Engineer for an opportunity within the offshore wind sector based in Europe. This pivotal role will focus on offshore site characterization and geotechnical analysis, underpinning the development of fixed & floating foundations, mooring systems and subsea cable designs.

The Geotechnical Engineer will provide technical leadership and delivery support for geotechnical activities across projects from bid preparation and early-stage development to detailed design and execution. It can also entitle Geoscience package responsibility for projects or bids, enabling growth beyond a core technical expertise.

Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams will be essential to ensure effective data integration and design input. This role will involve offshore wind projects worldwide.

Reporting line:

The role will report to the Offshore Wind Geoscience Manager and sits within the Offshore Wind Engineering Team.

Responsibilities

• Geotechnical Ownership : Act as geotechnical technical focal point / lead, ensuring QA/QC of geotechnical deliverables and producing geotechnical inputs to relevant packages
• Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration : Interface management with relevant packages, provide soil data and geotechnical inputs for the design of foundations/cables, and support the certification of soil data through interactions with the project certification body
• Geoscience package: When required, lead the geoscience workstreams for a bid or an offshore wind project (floating & bottom-fixed), from both a technical and project management perspective, including (budget, schedule, risk, and procurement inputs)

Your tasks:

Geotechnical:

• Perform quality control of geotechnical datasets, interpret survey data
• Review technical reports and provide technical guidance
• Write all technical documentations relevant to roadmap: SOW, technical requirements, etc;
• Support certification activities of geoscience data
• Supervise geotechnical survey operations
• Interface with relevant packages on foundation/anchor design, scope out external conceptual design & feasibility studies, etc
• Contribute to and when appropriate, lead technical topics related to marine geotechnics
• Support R&D activities, contributing to the development of in-house geotechnical tools and their integration with structural and installation teams

Geoscience package:

• Define Geoscience/UXO roadmaps for projects pre and post bid
• Define associated geoscience budgets and schedules
• Execute roadmap items from RFQ stage to deliverables certification: RFQ management, contract management, etc

Cross-functional support:

• Provide documentation (site conditions, design basis part A, etc) & information for design of foundations/cables
• Provide geotechnical inputs to internal/external stakeholders (cable/foundation package leads, designer contractors, certification bodies)
• Identify and manage geotechnical risks associated with offshore wind projects and propose mitigation measures to minimize potential impacts on safety, design, installation and reliability
• Work closely with design engineers to integrate geotechnical constraints into foundation design and ensure compatibility with offshore wind turbines
• Interface on soil conditions internally with relevant packages, and externally with design/installation contractors

Collaborate:

• Participate in regulatory meetings, stakeholders meetings, and community outreach initiatives
• Share experience with the team and contribute to good technical discussions across projects
