An exciting opportunity has opened within a UK-based marine geoscience team for an ambitious Cable Route Engineer to play a leading role in offshore cable projects across renewables, interconnections, and telecommunications. This is an exciting opportunity to join a multinational tier one contractor, delivering large, complex, cutting-edge projects.
The role sits within a specialist marine geo-team made up of geophysicists, geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, and geomorphologists. The successful candidate will act as Technical Lead for offshore cable routing scopes, delivering GIS-based route analysis and Cable Burial Risk Assessments (CBRA), while mentoring junior team members and helping shape the future direction of cable routing capability.
Offshore cable routing is inherently multi‐disciplinary, and applications are welcomed from professionals with backgrounds in geospatial consultancy, subsea engineering, geotechnical engineering, or engineering geology.
The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background in geoscience, GIS, or subsea engineering, alongside industry experience in offshore cable routing using tools. Experience contributing to CBRA or Depth of Lowering assessments, analysing geotechnical and geospatial datasets, and working within collaborative project teams is essential.
This role suits someone technically confident, proactive, and keen to influence complex offshore projects from concept through delivery—while developing both people and capability within a growing marine engineering environment.
