We are seeking a highly skilled Seismic Hazard Assessment Specialist to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in assessing seismic hazards for various projects, including infrastructure development, nuclear power plants, and critical facilities. Your expertise in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) will be instrumental in ensuring the safety and resilience of these projects.,

Conduct and/or manage all steps in a comprehensive PSHA study, including seismic catalogue compilation and analysis, seismic-source model development, ground motion modelling, site response analysis, probabilistic and deterministic hazard calculation.
Work with the wider Earth & Environment team to support and utilise the results from Capable Faulting Studies.
Propose methods to quantify epistemic uncertainty in a seismic hazard framework and propagate them through engineering analyses.
Propose acquisition and monitoring parameters and comment on the response efficiency of seismic networks.
Develop and apply attenuation functions from site ground motion data to estimate ground motion parameters (kappa, F0).
Calculate seismic hazard curves and ground motion maps for various return periods.
Collaborate with geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, and other specialists to integrate seismic hazard assessments into soil-structure interfaces and ultimately project designs.
Stay updated on the latest advancements in seismic hazard analysis methodologies and tools.
Prepare clear and concise technical reports and presentations to communicate findings to clients and project teams.

Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Geophysics, Geology, Civil Engineering, or a related field.
Significant experience in seismic hazard assessment, with a strong focus on PSHA.
Proficiency in seismic hazard analysis software (e.g., OpenQuake, RISK2000, CRISIS).
In-depth knowledge of seismic hazard evaluation and/or ground motion modelling
Experience in stakeholder engagement to follow the SSHAC process
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
For the senior consultant grade, it will be anticipated that you will be able to supervise and mentor one to two junior staff members whist leading your own small to medium scale projects.
For the principal consultant grade, it will be expected that you will take day to day management of a small sub-team of consultants and senior consultants and manage a portfolio of small to large projects or single large projects with support from the team leader. For the principal consultant grade, business development with new and existing clients would be a part of your responsibilities.
Fluency in spoken and written English is a prerequisite
You will preferably have expertise in the scoping, delivery and interpretation of geophysical data as a site characterisation tool in either a marine or onshore environment.
Your strong academic background will enable you to support and lead research activities
Project management; responsibilities to include project budgeting, project team data integration, timeline oversight.
Bid preparation.
Experience of collaboration with researchers from industry and academic sectors, to advance the integrated technical solutions for nuclear waste management.

People are our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive package to retain and attract the best talent.
