Roger Edgecombe: On exploring the extremes

RPS' Director Energy Operations, Roger Edgecombe's career has led him to some of the world's most secluded and enchanting places.  

02 August 2024 | 1 min read

Q How long have you worked for RPS?

I've been with RPS for 19 years, having joined in 2005. My roles have evolved from field operations, seismic data acquisition and data processing, to overall project management, to then building and overseeing projects and clients and finally into a management position within the organisation. 

Q How did you get into the field of geology?

After high school, when jobs were scarce, I knew I needed to further my education. I chose to study sciences at university and selected geology as one of my three required science subjects because it intrigued me. Growing up on an island on the east coast of Canada piqued my interest in marine and fluvial processes, and erosion. I fell in love with geology and my fascination with it deepened, leading me to earn two degrees in the field.

Once I’d completed my masters, I began a career in geophysics primarily in seismic data acquisition and processing, which takes advantage of density and velocity contrasts to create an image of the subsurface, it’s kind of like taking x-rays of the earth! From an initial naïve beginning on a small seismic crew, 27 years later, I’m still involved in using the seismic method to make informed decisions about the ground below.

Q What advice do you have to the next generation considering a career in geology?

To thrive in this industry, I recommend that the next generation of geoscientist don’t overly specialise. Industries fluctuate with booms and busts; being nimble and versatile, is crucial. Adaptability allows you to follow the demand for your skills wherever it leads. Another important tip is to consistently apply yourself and strive for excellence in every task you undertake.

Q What has been the most fascinating place you’ve visited?

The most memorable place I’ve visited is about 600 kilometres from the North Pole, where I spent a summer in the high Arctic. It was an incredible experience! Working in land and marine exploration takes you to various locations, including spending a lot of time in very remote places – from the less glamorous, to the most magical places on earth!

Q What have you valued most in your career?

I've been lucky enough to have worked or lived in every province or territory within Canada. I feel fortunate to have been able to see a lot of these very remote places that most people wouldn’t see in their lifetime. From a small island in Canada, to exploring the entire country and now living in Australia, the work has afforded me opportunities of a lifetime.
