GPR Specialist (Ground Penetrating Radar)

• ·      Hands-on, end-to-end GPR competence: acquisition, processing,interpretation and reporting. Able to select the right equipment and parametersfor site conditions (soil type, salinity, target depth), diagnose data qualityissues in the field, and explain and defend interpretations to clients. Someunderstanding of surveying fundamentals (coordinate systems, GNSS/total-stationcontrol) and working CAD/GIS skills.
  
• Job scopingand planning: define the scope of work for GPR enquiries and support quotepreparation; design the acquisition plan (antenna/frequency selection, grid andline spacing, survey control, site constraints); prepare method statements andrisk assessments.
  
• ·       Fieldexecution and supervision: perform GPR surveys for utility locating andsubsurface investigations on complex or high-value jobs; supervise and guidefield crews on routine acquisition; verify data quality on site beforedemobilization. 
  
• ·       Dataprocessing, interpretation and QC: process, interpret and QC all GPR datasets;integrate GPR results with topographic survey data; maintain processingstandards, templates and QA/QC records.
  
• ·       Reportingand deliverables: prepare accurate, client-ready deliverables (utility maps,cross-sections, depth tables, interpretation reports, field sketches) inCAD/GIS formats to PDO and other client specifications, on time.
  
• Clientcommunication: liaise with client site representatives on project set-up,scheduling, site conditions and findings; explain results and limitationsclearly; build the relationships that support repeat business and serviceexpansion.
  
• Trainingand development: develop SOPs and training material; train and mentor fieldoperators and the office processing technician towards independent acquisitionand processing.
  
• Equipment and HSE: perform routine care, calibration and maintenance ofGPR and associated field equipment; manage software licenses; advise onequipment/software selection; follow all company and client HSE requirementsand use appropriate PPE.
