This is an opportunity to join HS2's specialist GIS team and contribute to the delivery of one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes.

My client is open to candidates from a range of sectors, so previous rail experience is not essential. The priority is finding someone with strong practical ArcGIS Enterprise experience and a solid background in GIS data management.

The team is looking to appoint quickly, making this a great opportunity for someone keen to take the next step in their GIS career.
