From seabed to surface, Acteon develops solutions to the energy industry’s most complex problems. We harness data, engineering knowledge and operational expertise to efficiently design, install, maintain, extend the life of, and decommission offshore energy assets to ensure they deliver maximum economic value. Using the latest technology, we gather and analyse hard-to-reach data in the most challenging environments. We partner with customers to apply it to their specific needs and challenges and devise tailored plans to help them safely and responsibly accelerate projects and reduce the total cost of operations. This allows our customers to focus on enhancing their core operations, growing sustainably and profitably and, ultimately, delivering the energy the world needs.

UTEC, Acteon’s Geo-services business line, harnesses data to optimise designs, save time and maximise your project’s economic value by providing a holistic understanding of the marine environment. Our insights underpin customers’ decision-making from design to asset life extension, ensuring every decision delivers.

UTEC is looking to add qualified Offshore Surveyor to the team in the United States. The Surveyor is responsible for acquiring and processing accurate positioning data (vessel & sensors) during his/her shift (watch). The Surveyor shall assist the Party Chief/Senior Surveyor to ensure that positioning data and calibrations are acquired and processed in line with UTEC procedures and to specifications given in the scope of work, and that all results are concisely documented using the relevant UTEC forms. The Surveyor will inform Party Chief/Senior Surveyor of any required revisions to the current UTEC forms and procedures which may arise.

This is an offshore role and will require a significant amount time spent on a vessel and may take place in inclement weather and extreme temperatures. Responsibilities may require an adjusted work schedule, long days, and evening/weekend hours to meet deadlines. Extensive travel is required.

Duties
• Assist with mobilizing surface and subsurface sensors onto vessel, ROV, trencher/plough
• Assist with interfacing surface and subsurface sensors into online software packages
• Assist with calibration of surface and subsurface systems, including alongside calibrations
• Verify the current geodetic and datum shift parameters within online setup with client supplied test points
• Attend pre-shift meetings to gain an understanding of forthcoming operations. Liaise with client representatives during operations to be fully aware of work schedule
• Communicate effectively during operations to direct ROV and vessel crew and other disciplines over clear comms or radio
• Operate word processing and spreadsheet applications
• Operate the online software packages used by the company
• Perform basic operations on survey system components including regular system status checks
• Monitor data collection, raising concerns immediately to Senior Surveyor or Party Chief
• Perform a basic level of data processing primarily to assess quality of logged data, allowing simple presentation to Senior Surveyor or Party Chief
• Report any operation that differs to task plan or procedure to Senior Surveyor or Party Chief
• Maintain an accurate and complete online log and Log book to report survey operations
• Produce field reports and memos as assigned/required by Senior Surveyor and Party Chief

Required
• Education in Geomatics, Surveying Science
• Relevant industry experience or military/academic experience in survey related discipline
• Must be team-oriented, possess a positive attitude and work well with others
• Ability to perform tasks and achieve results with a high degree of accuracy and precision
• Ability to work both independently and within teams
• Experience in industry standard survey packages required
• Must hold a valid passport free from status or restrictive conditions that preclude travel to and work in countries where the company routinely operates
