What is the difference between Full Time Seismic Interpreter vs Geophysicist?

AspectFull Time Seismic InterpreterGeophysicist
CredentialsGeology or Geophysics degree, seismic interpretation certificationsGeophysics degree, advanced degrees often preferred
Work EnvironmentOil & gas companies, seismic data analysis teamsResearch institutions, energy companies, consulting firms
Industry UsagePrimarily in oil & gas explorationBroader roles including exploration, research, and development

Full Time Seismic Interpreters focus on analyzing seismic data to identify potential hydrocarbon reservoirs, often working within oil and gas companies. Geophysicists have a broader scope, including research, data modeling, and exploration across various industries. While both roles require similar educational backgrounds and work environments, seismic interpreters specialize in seismic data analysis, whereas geophysicists may engage in more diverse geophysical research and applications.

We are dedicated to improving our communities, preserving the environment and utilizing the most innovative science practices in all our work.
Job Summary
We are seeking a Geotechnical Seismic Modeling Engineer to develop and analyze 1D/2D seismic models that support subsurface interpretation, hazard assessment, and engineering decisions. In this role, you'll run seismic simulations, interpret complex geophysical data, and collaborate with cross disciplinary teams to provide clear, actionable insights. Ideal candidates bring strong analytical skills, experience with seismic modeling tools, and the ability to communicate technical findings effectively.
Responsibilities
  • Perform geotechnical seismic hazards analyses, 1D and 2D site-response, and soil-structure-interaction evaluations for projects utilizing FLAC, PLAXIS, and other geotechnical modeling software for analysis and design.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams to validate structural assumptions and address emergent issues.
  • Develop and execute geotechnical numerical models with a focus on seismic analyses and soil-structure interaction including but not limited to:

- Collect and analyze geotechnical data (borings, CPTs, lab data, etc.),
- Perform model calibration including element- and system-level evaluations,
- Develop model space and boundary conditions,
- Perform model response and diagnostic evaluations,
- Post-processing and presentation of model results, and
- Translation of model response to actionable geotechnical design recommendations.
  • Perform geotechnical engineering analyses, studies, and calculations, and prepare reports.
  • Review technical reports and calculations prepared by entry-level engineers.
  • Support business development and marketing activities, including preparation of cost proposals and presentations to existing and prospective clients.
  • Perform field explorations, collection of samples, geologic reconnaissance, and mapping.

  • Follow and promote Shannon and Wilson's Health and Safety and Loss Prevention policies.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by your supervisor.

Requirements
  • MS or PhD Degree in Geotechnical Engineering with research relevant to geotechnical seismic hazards analysis, numerical modeling, and/or site response.
  • 7 to 14 years of experience as a Geotechnical Engineer with experience performing geotechnical seismic hazards evaluation.
  • Knowledge of ground motion and site response aspects included in building and bridge standards including AASHTO, ASCE 7, ASCE 61, ASCE 41, and CSA S6
  • Professional Engineering (PE) License in the state office is located.
  • Ability to interact and communicate with clients, vendors, and staff at all levels.

  • Personable, flexible, and professional demeanor.
  • Critical thinking and analysis.
  • The ability to work independently with the appropriate level of supervision.
  • The willingness and ability to travel (drive or fly) to field sites per project needs and job sites locally and out of state.
  • A valid driver license and insurable driving record.
  • Basic computer skills: MS Office (required).
  • Experience with Python (required).
  • Utilizing cyclic direct simple shear testing and resonant column tests results to develop modulus and damping reduction curves
  • Utilizing post-cyclic monotonic direct simple shear testing results to develop residual strength and volumetric strain estimates
  • Frequent sitting, standing, walking, bending, lifting, and carrying 30+ pounds.
  • Working in all weather conditions, on uneven terrain.
