This entry-level role is for physicists, mathematicians and geophysicists, looking for a career where they can continue to develop their scientific skills and knowledge. We provide all training that is required so no prior knowledge of geophysics or geology is expected.
We recruit globally for our UK roles so welcome applications from all countries. Subject to eligibility we provide visa sponsorship and relocation assistance in addition to accommodation assistance.
Employees will be based in Crawley, just south of London, with excellent transport links to central London, Brighton & the South Coast, the wider UK, and international destinations via nearby Gatwick Airport.
Do you want to use physics and mathematics to solve real world problems?
The world beneath our feet is incredibly complex and the source of the natural resources fundamental to the functioning of our society. We utilise the latest signal processing, modelling and imaging techniques and some of the most advanced compute facilities in the world to build high-resolution 3D seismic images & models of subsurface geology and rock properties for our clients primarily in the energy industry.
We operate a team-based structure with each team focusing on one or two client-facing projects with their unique geophysical and commercial challenges. We are looking for individuals who will enjoy using their problem solving skills to meet the challenges our clients have, as well as continuously seek to improve their own understanding and help develop our technology further.
