Job Overview: A Company recognised as the pioneers in providing cutting-edge seismic imaging technologies, services, and solutions for the global oil & gas industry seeks Senior Marine Seismic Processors to support their expanding business. Due to work commitments, they are looking for 3 processors.

The Company leads the development and usage of advanced marine imaging techniques in key areas such as de-multiple techniques, velocity modelling, PreSDM, and sub-salt imaging. Their integrated service approach to the entire seismic process includes seismic acquisition, pre-migration time processing, pre-stack time and depth imaging, 4D, multi-component and attribute analysis of seismic data. They are recognised as offering leading processing consulting services to their clients and have offices and joint ventures around the world.

As an experienced seismic processor your primary responsibility will be to undertake and lead seismic processing projects. Working along side some of the most respected processing geophysicists in the industry, on technically demanding projects, you will quickly gain exposure to a wide range of seismic challenges, leading geophysical technologies and established consulting practices.

As a senior member of the processing team, you will be expected to keep abreast of industry and R&D trends and to transfer knowledge and ideas to more junior staff.
