Role Outline
As a Principal Geophysicist you will be a dynamic leader with a broad range of experience both regionally and technically.

Familiarity with “Reserves” and/or “Equity Redetermination” would be an advantage. Some current hands on skills (interpretation, mapping, depth conversion etc) would be a benefit but a proven track record and understanding in such skills, combined with an ability to mentor and coach younger colleagues, is equally important.
