The primary purpose of the role is to undertake and supervise geophysical field surveys, ensuring the jobs are conducted to a high standard and completed within the allocated timescales. This will require driving across the UK and staying away across the week, planning and executing geophysical surveys, liaising with landowners or other external stakeholders as necessary, undertaking day-to-day equipment maintenance and troubleshooting, completing and signing off site documents and paperwork, ensuring collected data is of a high quality, and managing a field assistant.
The geophysical surveys will mainly be comprised of cart-based (hand-pulled or quad-towed) magnetometer surveys, with potential opportunities for combined electromagnetic induction surveys or ground penetrating radar surveys, dependent on skills and progression. While the role is primarily fieldwork based (c. 75% of time on average), it will include an office rotation on a semi-regular basis. Office work tasks will include interpreting geophysical survey data, primarily magnetometry data, and contributing to geophysical survey reports.
