At DEME Offshore, our geotechnical team applies geotechnics to make complex offshore installation work safe, efficient and certifiable. From tender to offshore execution, you’ll help shape jack up leg penetration & preloading strategies and derisk foundation installation. You’ll collaborate closely with tender, project and vessel teams, turning soil data into practical, reliable engineering decisions that keep our projects moving — safely and on budget.###

Your responsibilities
* Own the geotechnical scope from bid through installation: translate client & standard requirements into clear geotechnical inputs, acceptance criteria and operational constraints.
* Assess jack‑up operations: leg penetration predictions, evaluation of boundary conditions to allow for safe jacking operations, review of site‑specific assessments (SSA).
* Derisk foundation installation: drivability and installation assessments (impact/vibro/drilling/suction), pile run and stability checks, soil‑structure interaction topics relevant to installation.
* Interrogate and upgrade the data: scope, guide and interpret site investigations (CPTs, borings, lab tests); consolidate and quality‑check data; build design soil profiles for installation engineering.
* Turn analysis into action offshore: brief vessel teams about geotechnical conditions and constraints before mobilisation and support while offshore when required.
* Collaborate & communicate: work with methods, structural, naval and equipment colleagues to align on solutions; explain geotechnical choices to non‑geotechnical stakeholders.
* Continuously improve: contribute to in‑house tools, templates and knowledge (e.g., automation/scripts, data workflows) and capture lessons learned across projects.###

Your profile
* Master’s in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering
* 2+ years of relevant experience as a geotechnical engineer (offshore experience is a plus, strong motivation to specialise offshore is essential).
* Working knowledge of geotechnical analysis and relevant software (e.g., PLAXIS, GRLWEAP, LPILE or equivalents).
* Comfortable reading CPTs/boring logs and defining design soil profiles for installation problems.
* Programming skills (preferably Python) and an interest in data‑driven workflows are assets.
* Clear, concise communicator in English (additional languages are a plus).
* Organized, curious, collaborative; able to perform under time pressure while keeping a high quality bar.
* Willingness to travel regularly for meetings and offshore support trips.### Our offer
* An extensive mobility program for a healthy work-life balance;
* A permanent training track which allows you to develop yourself personally and professionally;
* A stimulating, innovative workplace with numerous growth opportunities;
* A people-oriented environment with an interactive health program and a focus on employee wellbeing.
