bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) center in Pune, aims to build on bp's existing engineering and technical strengths to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable, and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address prioritized business challenges across bp's oil, gas, and low carbon businesses. Within GSS, geohazards specialist role is fundamental to identifying the optimum locations and engineering solutions for offshore developments. It requires collaboration with subsurface, survey, engineering and drilling disciplines to safely deliver projects and wells.As a GSS Geohazards Specialist, you will be accountable in providing geoscience support for offshore engineering activities across a global portfolio of renewable, oil and gas projects. You will engage throughout; beginning with regional geological assessment to identify potential subsurface hazards before undertaking focused study of the suitability of locations; then designing specific data acquisition to develop a more detailed understanding and assess the potential risk presented by individual geohazards; before working with engineers to support the design and installation phases of offshore developments.In your role, you will have opportunities to support oil, gas, and low carbon (CCUS and Offshore Wind) activities.Entity:

Job Description:

What you will deliver

• Be part of a group of specialists with responsibility across bp's global portfolio, giving insight to and gaining experience from a wide variety of geological settings and engineering challenges.
• Support Geohazards projects, providing key integration between subsurface, wells and sub-sea/facilities engineering teams to deliver recommendations which impact the design and engineering of offshore developments.
• Access bp's global database of geophysical, geological and geotechnical engineering data to develop integrated ground models, maps and geospatial databases to communicate potential risks.
• Support project manager in work with site survey contractors to plan and deliver geophysical and geotechnical surveys based upon the results and recommendations of your work and designed to address project specific geohazard challenges.
• Have an impact on the evolving area of Offshore Wind and Carbon Storage projects, identifying emerging technologies to efficiently assess the suitability of facility locations over large areas and their long-term monitoring.
• Collaborate with integrated subsurface teams to deliver critical assessments for the safe delivery of offshore wells (for Carbon Storage and focused Oil and Gas Production).
• Engage with a wide range of bp entities and technical specialists to help develop internal and external technical capability in the industry, with a focus on more efficient operations with a reduced carbon footprint.
