Surveyor Engineering, Surveying

From the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on earth, to surging shorelines and anywhere in-between, we make the impossible possible through our continuous passion for innovation.

Our people design, engineer and manufacture technologies that are enabling our customers to discover, navigate, measure, detect and communicate in the toughest environment on earth:
Our oceans.

We’ve been actively developing the technology to make the oceans accessible for over 50 years and we’re only just getting started…At Sonardyne, we value different ways of thinking. Whether you think in code, patterns, systems, or steps, your unique perspective is important to us.

We’re looking for a Surveyor to join our Technology Services team

About the Role

This is a varied, hands-on technical role combining offshore survey operations, subsea positioning, customer support, system testing, data analysis and technical problem-solving.

You’ll become a trusted technical expert for our customers, supporting Sonardyne systems both remotely and in the field and helping customers successfully deploy our technology in real-world offshore environments.

If you’re technically curious, enjoy solving problems and would rather occasionally be on a vessel putting technology through its paces than spend your entire career behind a desk, this could be the opportunity for you.

The role

Working within our Technology Services team, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of Sonardyne’s core hardware and software systems and use that knowledge to provide expert technical and operational support to customers around the world.

One day you might be helping a customer troubleshoot a technical issue remotely from Blackbushe. The next you could be planning an LBL operation, analysing INS data or preparing for an offshore mobilisation.

You could then find yourself onboard a vessel supporting customer operations, participating in system trials or helping evaluate one of Sonardyne’s latest technologies.

You’ll work closely with our experienced Senior Engineers and Surveyors while building the knowledge and experience to become a recognised technical expert in Sonardyne systems.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll provide first-line technical and operational support for customers using Sonardyne hardware, software and subsea positioning systems.

You’ll support customers both proactively and reactively – from troubleshooting immediate operational problems to reviewing systems and recommending improvements.

You’ll also:

• Provide offshore equipment and survey support, including opportunities to operate and support INS and acoustic positioning systems.
• Support customer operations onboard vessels and offshore installations.
• Undertake LBL planning and analysis, INS simulations and data processing.
• Participate in customer trials both onshore and offshore.
• Support system testing and evaluate the offshore performance of newly developed Sonardyne products.
• Deliver technical workshops, presentations and product-specific training.
• Produce technical reports, customer visit reports, guidance notes and other technical support material.
• Work closely with Engineering, Software, Hardware, Systems Test, Sales, Business Development and our international regional teams.
• Feed customer and operational experience back into Sonardyne to help us continually improve our products and systems.
• Support the introduction and launch of new technologies.
• Participate in industry, customer and marketing events, helping represent Sonardyne and our technical capabilities.
• Contribute to our customer support rota, including occasional remote shift support for live customer operations.

Most importantly, you’ll become someone our customers can rely upon when they’re operating Sonardyne technology in demanding real-world…
