- Present work to management and team members whenever requested.
- Mentor junior geophysicists in learning seismic depth imaging through hands-on projects.

Requirements

Minimum Requirements

- As the successful candidate, you will hold a bachelor or higher degree in Geophysics. Alternative acceptable disciplines in conjunction with work experience would include Physics or Geology.
- A minimum of fifteen years of experience in seismic depth imaging experience with exposure to recent related technologies is needed. Expertise could be with either a service provider or a major oil and gas company.
- Experience in effective decision making in land, transition zone, and marine (OBC, OBN) seismic imaging.
- Show evidence of having worked to implement latest technologies and design workflows for seismic depth imaging.
- A wide variety of geological settings resembling different seismic imaging challenges.
- Exposure to programming and software development for seismic data imaging will be considered a positive addition.
- English language fluency with the capability to communicate verbally and in writing.
- Excellent presentation skills.
