Job Description

The Geotechnical Core Logging Engineer is an onshore laboratory role responsible for geotechnical core logging support, XCT and MSCL operation, scan planning, data acquisition, scan processing, data management and initial QA/QC of digital and physical core/sample records.

The role supports onshore laboratory projects by preparing and handling soil and rock samples, operating XCT and MSCL equipment in accordance with approved procedures, processing and organising scan outputs, recording observations, assisting with core logging and laboratory data workflows, and supporting project leads with timely and technically robust deliverables.

The role also assists with equipment readiness, routine maintenance, calibration/check records, consumables control, safe sample handling, radiation and equipment safety compliance where applicable, and continuous improvement of digital core logging and laboratory workflows.

Job Responsibilities:

Onshore Laboratory, XCT/MSCL and core logging support:

Work as an onshore laboratory-based engineer supporting geotechnical core logging, XCT scanning, MSCL scanning and associated laboratory data workflows.
Operate XCT and MSCL equipment safely and competently in accordance with approved method statements, equipment manuals, radiation safety requirements, laboratory procedures and project specifications.
Prepare soil and rock samples/cores for scanning, including sample identification checks, labelling, conditioning, mounting, loading/unloading, chain-of-custody verification and safe handling of heavy or fragile materials.
Plan and execute scan programmes based on project requirements, sample condition, priority, resolution/scan parameter requirements and downstream interpretation needs.
Perform XCT and MSCL data acquisition, initial reconstruction/processing, file naming, metadata capture, scan quality checks, image/data export and transfer to approved storage locations.
Carry out preliminary review of scan outputs, including identifying obvious artefacts, incomplete scans, sample disturbance, voids, inclusions, structural features or areas requiring re-scan or further technical review.
Support geotechnical core logging activities by integrating visual inspection, scan outputs and laboratory observations into clear, traceable records.

Data processing, records and project support

Maintain accurate daily production records, scan logs, equipment usage records, calibration/check records, sample movement records and data transmittal records.
Liaise with project leads, data team and laboratory operations to prioritise scanning, communicate progress, flag constraints and support timely reporting.
