The Laboratory Data Processor is responsible for converting raw geotechnical laboratory test outputs into accurate, traceable and report-ready datasets for review and interpretation by the laboratory team and wider Geotechnical Data Intelligence team. The role applies approved processing routines, performs quality-control checks, maintains clear processing records and supports the efficient management of laboratory data throughout the test and reporting lifecycle. The postholder may also contribute towards laboratory quality and accreditation activities, including verification work and external assessments.

What you will do:

• The duties and responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to:
• Process geotechnical laboratory test data, including classification, oedometer, triaxial, direct simple shear and resonant column data, using approved in-house routines and tools.
• Check processed results for completeness, consistency, calculation errors, anomalous values and compliance with the applicable project specification, test method and laboratory procedure.
• Maintain clear and traceable processing records, including source data, calculation files, processing logs, review status, revisions and final outputs.
• Manage, name, store and archive laboratory data in accordance with company requirements to protect data integrity, security, confidentiality and retrievability.
• Escalate data-quality issues, missing information, out-of-specification results and departures from approved procedures to the Laboratory Manager or responsible engineer.
• Keep test programming and tracking systems up to date so that laboratory progress and reporting status can be communicated accurately.
• Assist with the preparation and quality review of laboratory reports, schedules, tables and data deliverables.
• Develop, test, document and maintain data-processing and data-management tools to improve efficiency, robustness, repeatability and value, subject to appropriate technical review and approval.
• Assis, where required, with equipment calibration and verification activities, including the measurement, monitoring and correction of equipment compliance effects where applicable.
• Support accreditation and quality assessments, including evidence preparation, verification testing, responses to findings and implementation of agreed corrective actions.
• Work collaboratively with laboratory technicians, engineers and project teams to resolve data queries and meet agreed reporting priorities.

General responsibilities:

• Work towards the Ocean Infinity and Geowynd mission and objectives by contributing to relevant performance indicators and improvement priorities.
• Support Ocean Infinity and Geowynd Health, Safety, Environmental and Social goals and ensure day-to-day decisions are consistent with those goals.
• Comply with applicable Ocean Infinity and Geowynd policies, practices, programmes and procedures described in the management system.
• Complete required training identified through the applicable training programme.
• Contribute to continual improvement by reporting events and problems, participating in meetings and workshops, and recommending practical improvements.
• Report unidentified risks, hazards or system deficiencies to the manager or responsible person, using Stop Work Authority, reporting cards, incident reporting or direct escalation as appropriate.
• Communicate and apply relevant policies and procedures when working with employees, visitors and contractors.

Requirements

You ideal candidate should have:

• Experience in processing, checking or managing technical, scientific or engineering data.
• Competence and confidence working with structured datasets, calculations, charts and technical records.
• Experience working within a controlled quality-management or accredited laboratory environment is desirable.
• Strong attention to detail and a systematic approach to data checking and document control.
• Ability to follow approved procedures while identifying and clearly communicating exceptions, risks and opportunities for improvement.
• Analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to investigate discrepancies without compromising source data or traceability.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain data issues to laboratory and engineering colleagues.
