What are hydrographic survey jobs?
Hydrographic surveys are the method for mapping and measuring marine environments, including offshore locations like sea beds and harbours as well as inshore ones like rivers and lakes. A highly specialised role, hydrographic survey jobs require a deep understanding of underwater environments and the ability to use advanced technologies to analyse critical marine features such as currents, ocean floor topography, temperatures, and wildlife.
Key skills and qualifications for hydrographic surveys
Knowledge and experience with a wide range of acoustic sensors and equipment, including GPS and SONAR systems, is crucial for hydrographic survey jobs. Excelling in the industry also requires proficiency with advanced software like EIVA or Qinsy. Project experience relevant to the offshore industry can further enhance a candidate’s employability.
A relevant degree in geology, marine science, or a related field is required for those looking to pursue a career in hydrography. Further postgraduate study in hydrography or geomatics is highly recommended to advance in this specialised field.
