    About XOCEAN

    XOCEAN is an ocean data company – we collect data for clients ranging from mapping the seabed to monitoring the environment. However, we do this differently, instead of using conventional crewed survey ships, we have developed a marine robotic system known as an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV).

    Overview

    This full-time role has you responsible for geophysical data processing, interpretation and reporting over a 40 hour working week. It will provide an opportunity to be at the forefront of the rapidly evolving USV market, in the world-leading over the horizon USV company with a clear career progression.

    In addition to your salary and the benefits of our remote working arrangements, you will receive your annual leave entitlement; a salary sacrifice pension scheme; access to private healthcare and a yearly bonus scheme dependant on both company and personal performance.

    Working as a geophysicist allows you to be in the privileged position to visualise an area of the world not viewed by many people very often. Working for XOCEAN, you have the opportunity to work with several different datasets and integrate all these together to tell the story of that area of seabed. This combined with an understanding of the practical applications used by our clients - for example what a chaotic sediment or rock outcrops mean for an offshore pipe or cable installation; or what an area of mobile sediments means for offshore wind turbine installation or maintenance; or how the sheer extents pUXO around the European coastline affects any subsea developments - produces an excitement to see the real world affects in the theoretical ideas behind data processing. With XOCEAN specifically, we can see these data types and local applications all around the world from a large fleet of state-of-the-art USVs equipped with our constantly evolving top spec survey grade equipment. This combined with our expansion plans, our mindset of continuous improvement on data quality and the development of our capabilities both on the USV and within the processing team, creates an ambitious and exciting place to be.
