Offshore Geotechnical Surveys Engineer

RINA is currently recruiting for a Offshore Geotechnical Engineer to j oin its office in Genoa, Rome, Milan - Italy wit hin the Environmental and Engineering Geoscience Division.
The position focuses on geotechnical design and site characterization for offshore infrastructure projects, including offshore energy, subsea installations and marine civil works.MissionThe role focuses on evaluating seabed and subsoil conditions and assessing their interaction with offshore structures such as foundations, subsea pipelines, cables and marine installations, ensuring safe and efficient design under marine environmental loading.
Develop offshore geotechnical engineering projects from feasibility to detailed design, including technical review of third-party projects and support during offshore construction phases under senior supervision
Design offshore foundations (piles, suction caissons, anchors, gravity-based structures), seabed stabilization measures and soil–structure interaction analyses
Perform geotechnical interpretation of offshore site investigations (CPTU, vibrocores, boreholes, geophysical surveys)Develop finite element or finite difference numerical models for static, cyclic and dynamic offshore loading conditionsInterpret laboratory testing on marine soils and rocks to assess strength, compressibility, cyclic behavior and long-term performance
Support planning and execution of offshore geotechnical site investigations and supervise data acquisition when requiredIntegrate geophysical, geological and geotechnical datasets to define ground models for offshore design
Provide technical support during offshore installation activities, including risk evaluation and troubleshooting
Prepare technical documentation, reports, specifications, engineering drawings and design calculations
Contribute to project scheduling, client interface and multidisciplinary coordination
Ensure compliance with quality management systems, international offshore standards and HSE requirements #LI-MT3
Doctorate/PHD in Geotechnical Engineering
Proven experience in geotechnical engineering (at least 5 years), preferably with significant exposure to offshore or marine infrastructure projects (offshore wind, oil & gas, subsea pipelines, coastal or port structures)
Experience in project coordination and offshore construction support is considered an advantage.
Strong knowledge of offshore geotechnical design principles and marine soil behaviour
Experience with offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of geotechnical/geophysical data
Proficiency in numerical modelling for offshore geotechnical applications
Familiarity with international offshore standards (DNV, ISO, API, etc.) Ability to integrate multidisciplinary datasets and deliver practical engineering solutions in complex marine environments
