  • Geoquip Marine AG : ( 01/01/2026 - Present )
    • Geotechnical Engineer

    • Supported offshore geotechnical site investigations through field supervision, quality assurance (QA), and quality control (QC). Conducted and monitored in-situ testing including seabed seismic PCPT and downhole seismic PCPT. Performed soil sampling, logging, and API wireline rock coring and logging. Carried out supervision of downhole borehole geophysical logging, including P–S logging, calliper, and high-resolution acoustic televiewer surveys. Processed and interpreted in-situ test data to support ground characterisation. Managed sample photography, preservation, and documentation in accordance with project specifications. Undertook field laboratory testing including Unconsolidated Undrained (UU) triaxial tests, soil index testing (identification, density, qualitative acid tests), thermal conductivity, mini-vane shear strength, and point load strength testing. Contributed to onshore project activities from planning through to execution, including preparation of engineering deliverables such as Project Execution Plans, Field Reports, Factual Reports, and Interpretative Reports, as well as development of design soil profiles. Supported the development and enhancement of in-house data processing tools, including Python-based software for seismic PCPT analysis and liquefaction susceptibility assessment. Enrolled in an ICE-approved Training Scheme, working towards Initial Professional Development (IPD). Demonstrated strong commitment to health and safety by maintaining high standards on site and actively contributing to continuous improvement initiatives in quality and HSE practices.
  • Geoquip Marine AG : ( 03/04/2023 - 31/12/2025 )
    • Graduate Geotechnical Engineer

    • The work includes the review, analysis, interpretation and reporting of geotechnical engineering related data which are acquired through offshore geotechnical site investigation through field tests and data acquisition. Participate in offshore geotechnical field testing and sampling operations. Proficient in data acquisition, processing, and interpretation techniques, with expertise in seismic Cone Penetration Testing (SCPTu), PS Logging and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests. Capable of ground modelling through OpendTect and experienced in programming with Python and MATLAB development and implementation. Gained comprehensive knowledge through research undertake; focusing on improving data acquisition systems, implementing digital signal processing techniques for field seismic data and developing ground models through correlation and integration of diverse datasets. Working in highly collaborative environment with Data and Geotechnical engineering team to deliver in-house Seismic PCPT data analysis software. In addition, I also developed a velocity calculation model (Iterative Forward Modelling) to derive seismic wave velocity in soil-profile, which reflects soil properties. Trained in health and safety compliances and holds certifications in STCW and Train the Trainer course.
