This position is crucial for supporting the successful delivery of high-quality geospatial solutions in sectors like construction, infrastructure, environmental management, and urban planning.
Key Responsibilities
* Data Collection and Processing
o Manage the intake, storage, and processing of spatial data collected through drone missions, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and other reality capture technologies.
o Process and analyse aerial data to generate 3D models, orthomosaic maps, and digital terrain models (DTMs).
o Use GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS) to validate data quality, correct errors, and enhance spatial datasets.
o Implement quality control protocols to ensure data accuracy and consistency across projects.
* Database Management
o Maintain and organise geospatial databases, ensuring secure and efficient data storage and retrieval.
o Develop and implement data management strategies for long-term data preservation and compliance.
o Optimise database structures to improve data processing speed and user access.
* Data Integration and Analysis
o Integrate data from various sources, including satellite imagery, UAVs, ground surveys, and GPS systems, to create comprehensive geospatial datasets.
o Support geospatial analysts and engineers by providing high-quality, validated data for project planning and decision-making.
o Use advanced geospatial tools to analyse spatial patterns and generate actionable insights.
* Reporting and Documentation
o Prepare detailed reports and data summaries for clients and project teams.
o Document data processing workflows and standard operating procedures.
o Ensure all data outputs meet client specifications and industry standards.
* Collaboration and Support
o Collaborate with project managers, drone operators, and technical teams to streamline data collection and processing workflows.
o Provide training and support to colleagues on data management best practices
Required Qualifications
* Experience in data management, GIS, or geospatial analysis
* Strong technical skills in GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, Pix4D) and data processing tools
* Experience with UAV data, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and 3D modelling
* Understanding of spatial data formats (e.g., .shp, .las, .tif) and data management best practices
* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
* Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
