6 Geology jobs in the United Kingdom

Working on best-in-class software for geoscience and geoengineering applications

Based full-time in newly furbished offices, this growing industry leader develops a range of software products that are used by leading companies in the energy, mining and O&G industries. They are looking to grow their current team and seek a Software Engineer with specific experience and interests in structural geology applications.

The company offer an extensive package including highly competitive salary, performance related bonus and other benefits.

As a software engineer within their team, general activities will include software coding, interface design, testing and algorithm development. However, this is expected to be within projects applied to structural geology or geoenegineering.

Requirements:

• MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Geophysics, Maths or Geology combined with industry or extended academic (ideally doctoral) projects involving structural geology or geoengineering.
li>Excellent C or C++ programming skills including OO design and use of standard libraries (including Boost).
• Specific project experience should be in one or more of the following:

    o    Seismic processing and fault seal analysis.
    o    Geomechanical and geological modelling including deformation modelling.
    o    2D and 3D kinematic modelling techniques.
    o    Fracture modelling.

• Additional experien e with: GUI development (Qt, QML); 3D graphics toolkits (OpenGL, Vulkan or shaders); CI experience (CMake, JIRA, Git, Jenkins); GIS development tools (GDAL API, MapBox API); multithreading / parallel computing (GPU programming or CUDA); MATLAB / Python scripting for mathematical / geology problems would be advantageous.

Due to specific requirements, applicants without the relevant project experiences will not be considered (similarly exposure to relevant projects would not be sufficient).

The role is based fully-onsite, so candidates need to be able to commute daily to their offices (there are not provisions for hybrid or home-working). If you would need to relocate, relocation assistance is on offer for qualifying candidates.
