Here at DNV, what we do matters. Whether it’s helping the Energy Industry transition to a more decarbonised and sustainable future or helping protect life, property and the environment, every day, what you do, will make a difference. This is our shared purpose and one our people are proud to be part of.

Our specialist Jack-Up and Geotechnical team is part of the wider Offshore Engineering and Consulting department here at DNV. The work we do is at the forefront of implementing the green energy transition around the world today, with a focus on the installation and operation of jack-up vessels. Our team provide sophisticated solutions and engineering assessments to support offshore renewable energy installation projects around the globe, as well as ensuring safe offshore operations for our oil and gas customers. The team is based in the London office and is the global technical hub for this service line.

We just love finding innovative solutions to our industry’s most challenging problems. Supporting with the delivery of our customer projects, you’ll be given real responsibility to manage and deliver global projects, whilst you continue to develop your skills, knowledge and understanding of the Energy industry.

Our Jack up and Geotechnical engineering team, are a diverse group of Geotechnical, structural and mechanical engineers, specializing in installation and operation of jack-up vessels that are currently used to install wind turbines and perform oil and gas activities, offshore.
Our projects can be located almost anywhere around the world from Norway to New Zealand, providing genuine variety to the range of challenges you will encounter. Whilst our projects are global, this position is based at our London office (near Waterloo/Blackfriars stations), from where you will collaborate closely with geotechnical colleagues across our organisation.

As a Geotechnical Engineer, you will be responsible for the delivery of technical work and managing a variety of exciting offshore projects. Your role will be to understand and analyse these, following the relevant international standards and/or latest research, reviewing and interpreting geotechnical data to produce ground models and design soil profiles of the seabed, identifying any related risks. You’ll also perform foundation analyses to determine the appropriate foundation capacities and stiffnesses that would be used in the assessments of the structure.

In addition, you will also be engaged with performing other types of calculations for issues such foundation interactions with uneven seabeds, cyclic soil behaviour, liquefaction, scour, or the forces required to extract the legs from the seabed. For these calculations we often also use 2D and 3D finite element analyses.

This is a varied role, so you’ll be stretched, but always supported, surrounded by people who want you to thrive, develop and embrace new challenges. As you develop further, your expertise will be invaluable in helping shape our team's approach to creating innovative solutions for our clients, defining our future strategy, and enhancing our capabilities to identify opportunities for wider integration of our services.
