DIETER SCHOUKENS

​

FREELANCE HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYOR

ABOUT

After finishing my studies in geography (master of Sciences, KULeuven), I worked for three years as a surveyor for ‘Studiebureau Patrick Casier (SPC)’, performing topographical measurements and processing these data. 

 

Afterwards I worked for seven years with Jan De Nul Group, first as a surveyor, later as a survey manager for onshore (mostly dredging) projects on various locations worldwide. 

Eventually I started working on board as an online surveyor of several offshore projects. I gained experience in cable laying, rock dumping, marine constructing, etc. 

​

I've always been fascinated by the different aspects of the job: the challenges, the life on board with its international character and collegiality. 

​

Through the years, I gained knowledge of equipment mobilisation, installation, maintenance and calibration, data acquisition, analysis and processing, charting and designing, administration, managing and reporting

​

Currently I work as a freelance hydrographic surveyor, mainly interested in contracts as online surveyor of offshore projects.
