The Global Nature of the Business
The Hydrographic Society In Scotland
Offshore Survey is a global and dynamic industry driven by technological innovation
Offshore Survey plays a critical role in all stages of many industries, the oil and gas life cycle in particular
There are significant sub-discipline skills within the sector – geodesy, seismic navigation, site survey, construction, remote sensing, GIS, data management, AUV, acoustics, operations & project management.
Offshore Survey / Geomatics skills are scarce and not always well understood by non-survey colleagues or management.
There are highly interesting, rewarding, and varied career opportunities.
