To complement the rapidly expanding marine biology team, APEM are recruiting oceanography experts at all levels of the company and at all of APEM's office/laboratory locations.
APEM continues to expand its portfolio of large scale marine studies, many of which require a detailed understanding of current processes, wave action, tidal patterns, sediment movements and water chemistry in combination with the results of biological investigations. APEM are undertaking investigations for a number of marine renewable energy schemes including tidal, wave and offshore wind power. Other projects have involved environmental investigations for other coastal power options which can have a direct influence over oceanographic process. Both small and larger projects regularly require expert modelling and interpretation of oceanographic changes and a detailed understanding of their interactions with all aspects of the marine environment.
Data gathering requires knowledge of the deployment of a range of equipment to record physical processes such as drogues and continuous and fixed position systems including use of telemetry, from a range of survey vessels. Projects often involve a multi-disciplinary approach and working with other experienced APEM scientists to complete EIAs and SEAs combining knowledge of biological and physical science. It is also important to be fully up to date with the latest marine legislation and policy developments to ensure necessary surveys are undertaken, and relevant data are gathered to prepare a report or EIA for robust external review or Public Inquiry.
APEM is synonymous with delivering practical, client-focussed solutions to aquatic environmental problems, based on robust science. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated oceanographer to join a dynamic and forward-thinking company at a key stage in its development.
The role you undertake within the oceanography team will be dependent upon your experiences and position as highlighted in the grades / job descriptions featured on the vacancy page.
