Zetica
Eynsham, Oxfordshire
No agencies please Summary We are seeking a Senior Geophysicist who is highly motivated, inquisitive, and thorough, capable of leading and managing complex geophysical projects. This individual will have in-depth knowledge of geophysical investigations, a strategic mindset, and a passion for mentoring and sharing knowledge within our growing team. You will play a leading role in a range of high-profile, complex projects. You will collaborate with industry experts, mentor emerging talent, and push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of geophysics, all while contributing to research and development efforts that keep Zetica at the cutting edge of the industry. Responsibilities Technical Leadership: Lead the design and planning of geophysical surveys, providing input on complex technical solutions at the proposal stage, and refining these during project execution. As a senior member of the team, you will oversee the application of advanced geophysical techniques to meet client needs. Fieldwork Oversight: Oversee data quality and ensure technical integrity throughout fieldwork stages, conducting site visits as required. You will ensure field teams are fully supported, while also leading technically demanding fieldwork when necessary. Advanced Data Analysis: Provide leadership in the processing, interpretation, and reporting stages of projects, taking full responsibility for complex and high-value projects. You will be expected to review outputs and ensure data-driven insights are delivered clearly to clients and internal teams. Quality and Innovation: Maintain and enhance Zetica's high standards of quality assurance, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within budget, while incorporating innovative techniques and solutions where applicable. Cross-Sector Expertise: Lead projects across Zetica's core departments, including transport infrastructure, engineering/geotechnical, geological/environmental geophysical surveys, unexploded ordnance detection, and utility service detection. You will drive excellence in a variety of sectors, applying advanced geophysical methodologies and instrumentation. Mentorship and Development: As a senior figure within the business, mentor junior staff and provide technical guidance to colleagues, helping to develop the skills and expertise of the wider team. Occasional Fieldwork: While your role will be predominantly office-based, you will be required to undertake occasional fieldwork. This will mostly take place in the UK but may involve some international travel, depending on project requirements. Requirements We are looking for an experienced Senior Geophysicist with the following profile: Academic Qualifications: A postgraduate degree in geophysics or a related field. Experience: At least 7 years of relevant hands-on experience in high-resolution, near-surface geophysical investigations, with a proven track record of managing complex, large-scale geophysical projects from planning through to delivery. The successful candidate will have significant experience leading teams and overseeing high-value projects. Technical Expertise: Proficiency in a wide range of geophysical methods, including: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Electromagnetics (EM) Magnetometry Microgravity Electrical methods (e.g., resistivity, induced polarisation) Seismic methods (e.g., P- and S-wave seismic refraction, surface wave analysis Software Proficiency: Expertise in geophysical data processing and interpretation software such as Oasis Montaj, GeoGiga, SurfSeis, Res2Dinv, Zonde, Aarhus Workbench, or similar. Experience with coding in Python for custom data processing and automation is highly desirable, as well as proficiency with GIS and mapping tools like AutoCAD, Microstation, ArcGIS, and QGIS. Leadership and Communication: Strong leadership capabilities, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. The ability to present complex technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders is essential. Strategic Thinking: A forward-thinking individual who can identify opportunities for innovation and is adept at driving research and development within the geophysics discipline. You must already have the right to work in the UK, as we do not sponsor for a visa. Job Types: Full-time, Permanent Benefits: Casual dress Company events Company pension Cycle to work scheme On-site parking Private medical insurance Profit sharing Education: Bachelor's (required) Experience: Geophysics: 5 years (required) Licence/Certification: full clean manual driving licence (required) Work authorisation: United Kingdom (required) Location: Eynsham (preferred) Willingness to travel: 25% (preferred) Work Location: In person
