CSR Geotechnical

Responsibilities

• Represent the client during offshore geophysical and geotechnical site investigation campaigns.
• Monitor and supervise contractor performance, ensuring compliance with project scope, technical requirements, and HSE policies.
• Provide QA/QC of geotechnical and geophysical data (CPT, sampling, borehole logging, seismic, bathymetric, and geohazard data).
• Act as the key communication link between the client, contractors, and onshore project teams.
• Review and enforce contractual obligations, addressing issues to prevent delays or cost overruns.
• Ensure safe and efficient execution of drilling, sampling, and seabed testing operations, including CPT, vibrocoring, piston coring, and ROV-assisted drilling.
• Conduct geohazard assessments and provide advisory for spudcan analysis, platform foundation design, and pipeline/cable route planning.
• Participate in daily progress meetings, prepare site reports, and escalate critical issues to the project manager as required.
• Verify and validate contractor deliverables, including field logs, preliminary data, and final reports.
• Support risk assessments and implement mitigation strategies for operations in shallow gas or geohazard-prone areas.
