Job description

As the successful candidate, you will be responsible for advanced geospatial analysis to support land affairs activities including spatial conflict identification, site selection, land use assessment, land evaluation, and decision‑support reporting. You will also assess land‑related spatial data for accuracy, consistency, and fitness for purpose, improve data models and analytical methodologies for complex land scenarios, and perform spatial analytics and geoprocessing workflows that integrate regulatory, environmental, infrastructure, and operational datasets.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide advanced geospatial analysis to support land affairs activities.
• Assess land‑related spatial data for accuracy, consistency, and fitness for purpose, while improving data models and analytical methodologies.
• Perform spatial analytics and geoprocessing workflows that integrate regulatory, environmental, infrastructure, and operational datasets to generate actionable insights for land decision‑making.
• Provide technical input to the design and enhancement of geospatial systems and digital platforms, ensuring alignment with land governance processes and operational needs.
• Assess opportunities to apply artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced analytics to geospatial workflows to reduce manual effort, improve processing efficiency, and enhance analytical accuracy.
• Perform data integration activities that combine geospatial information with non‑spatial datasets to enable advanced reporting, predictive analysis, and digital transformation use cases.
• Provide geospatial visualizations, dashboards, and analytical outputs that clearly communicate complex land‑related information to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Synthesize varied data sources into unified geospatial datasets, ensuring data integrity through routine audits and quality assurance.
• Prepare high‑quality executive‑level presentations, technical briefs, and analytical reports to support strategic land‑related decisions, including direct presentations to the Executive Vice President.
• Translate complex geospatial, analytical, and AI‑driven insights into concise decision‑ready materials suitable for senior and executive management audiences.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Geomatics, GIS, Geospatial Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related discipline. Advanced degree preferred.
• 5–8 years of experience in geospatial analysis and spatial data management within the ESRI ArcGIS ecosystem.
• Demonstrated experience delivering enterprise‑scale geospatial analyses supporting land governance, regulatory assessment, or infrastructure planning.
• Expert knowledge of coordinate reference systems, reprojections, and conversions, with an understanding of accuracy and performance implications for large‑scale data analytics.
• Strong experience with geospatial databases, spatial analysis, and digital mapping platforms, especially ESRI ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap and ArcPro) and Online or Enterprise platforms.
• Proficient in programming languages/scripting, notably Python and Arcade; familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
• Applied experience in artificial intelligence, automation, or advanced analytics within a geospatial or data‑driven environment.
• Experience in digital transformation initiatives related to geospatial systems, analytics platforms, or data modernization.
• Ability to translate complex geospatial and analytical outputs into clear insights supporting informed decision‑making.
• Experience working in multi‑stakeholder environments with complex land, regulatory, and operational requirements.
• Background in the Energy sector (Oil & Gas, Renewables, Utilities) is an advantage.
• Demonstrated experience authoring technical papers, white papers, or research publications related to geospatial analytics, digital systems, or advanced technologies.
• Experience contributing to innovation initiatives, including invention disclosures, intellectual property development, or patent submissions.
