Geosciences / Survey Engineer

About this role

This role is for a Geosciences or Survey Engineer based in Lagos on a contract basis. The job involves assessing seabed conditions and geotechnical constraints for offshore developments, supporting offshore positioning and installation verification, and reviewing survey data and contractor deliverables. You will coordinate with multiple engineering teams and plan geophysical, geotechnical, bathymetric, and hydrographic surveys while interpreting seabed and subsurface data to identify geohazards and constraints. The position supports pipeline routing, platform siting, and installation planning, and involves monitoring contractor performance against project specifications. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant geoscience field is required, with substantial experience in oil and gas geosciences or survey engineering preferred. ”

What you would do

• Assess seabed conditions, shallow hazards, and geotechnical constraints affecting offshore developments.
• Support offshore positioning, as-built surveys, and installation verification.
• Review survey reports, charts, maps, positioning data, and contractor deliverables.
• Maintain survey records and prepare technical reports.
• Coordinate with subsea, pipeline, structural, marine, and construction engineering teams.
• Plan, coordinate, and review geophysical, geotechnical, bathymetric, and hydrographic surveys.
• Interpret seabed and subsurface data to identify geological features, geohazards, and engineering constraints.
• Support pipeline route selection, platform siting, subsea equipment positioning, and installation planning.
• Monitor survey contractor performance and compliance with project specifications.

What they are asking for

• Bachelor’s Degree in Geology, Geophysics, Geomatics, Surveying, Marine Science, or a related discipline.
• Experience with subsea and pipeline projects is an advantage.
• 8–12 years of relevant geosciences or survey engineering experience in the Oil & Gas industry.
• Familiarity with relevant survey equipment, data processing software, and industry standards.
• Experience in offshore geophysical, hydrographic, geotechnical, or positioning surveys.
• Knowledge of seabed mapping, geohazard assessment, survey positioning, and offshore data interpretation.
