(Feb 2007) We specialise in monitoring, analysing and predicting the physical environment of our planet: weather, climate, ocean waves and currents, air and water quality. We develop our information products and services based on knowledge of geophysical processes, (remote) sensing techniques and mathematical modelling and optimisation. IT is an essential component of our work to develop operational systems including our operational (24/7) web-based services. In addition, we conduct R&D on contract basis.
Our clients include governmental agencies, offshore oil and gas companies, space agencies, insurance companies, and maritime companies, within Europe as well as abroad.
We are growing and seek 4-5 new staff bringing a mix of skills and expertise. For all positions, we need team players with a practical attitude, keen to work in a commercial environment, and with enough programming skills to build applications in a high-level computational environment.
You are invited to apply if you recognise yourself in one or more of the following profiles:
Naval Architect or Ocean Engineer
Making use of available databases, forecasts etc you will be responsible for the analysis of
MetOcean conditions and their impact on activities and infrastructure at sea. You will advise and
report to clients, and help develop the in-house expertise and tools. We expect you to have an
MSc/PhD degree in a relevant discipline and a solid background in hydromechanics. Experience
in the maritime or offshore industry will be an asset.
