As we move into AMP 8 and continue with our growth plans across the UK & Ireland, we are interested in hearing expressions of interest from Geophysicists that are looking for their next career opportunity in the coming weeks and months. Stantec UK is looking for a geophysicist to join our expanding team in our Reading or Bristol offices (other southern England offices may also be considered).

The geophysicist will carry out and supervise magnetometry surveys for a range of projects, ensuring that they are completed to a high standard. The team carries out surveys across the UK, with a focus on our major water, highways, and infrastructure clients.

As a Geophysicist, you will conduct and oversee magnetometry surveys for various projects, primarily in Southern England. Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing Written Schemes of Investigation
• Liaising with team members, clients, and stakeholders
• Travelling to survey sites
• Collecting high-quality data
• Maintaining equipment
• Processing and interpreting data
• Preparing comprehensive reports
• Archiving project data

You will be a highly motivated individual with a passion for and sound multi-period knowledge of British archaeology and legislation, planning policy and guidance relevant to geophysical surveys. You will also have some professional experience in magnetometry surveys, proficiency in software like TerraSurvey, a proven ability to interpret geophysical data and write reports, and membership (or working towards membership) of CIfA at Associate level. A full, clean UK driving license is also essential. Whilst optional, experience of other geophysical surveys is desirable.
