About XOCEAN

XOCEAN is an ocean data company – we collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment.

However, we do this differently, instead of using conventional crewed survey ships, we have developed a marine robotic system known as an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV).

Main Duties & Responsibilities

Responsibilities will include:
Remote data acquisition and processing of MBES, Side-scan Sonar, & shallow Sub-bottom Profiler (Innomar) sensors.
Side scan sonar data processing including seabed picking, interpretation, production of mosaic and seabed features
Shallow SBP (Innomar) processing and interpretation.
Magnetometer data processing.
Data processing and quality control of all survey geophysical data, creating final deliverables to a high standard.
Survey System Setup – hardware and software configuration prior to vessel mobilisation on a project.
Online surveying on projects in shifts.
Quality Control – monitoring of the data being captured using online and offline survey tools.
Report writing and client interaction.

On occasion this role may involve:
Support with bathymetry data acquisition and processing
Support Lead Geophysicist with Survey Planning
