Job description

Location sits at the core of every Nestium answer. You turn raw spatial data into the catchment, competition and accessibility layers our analysis runs on — clean, documented and comparable across countries — using EU and national spatial-data infrastructure.

What you'll do

• Prepare and clean geospatial layers – catchments, competition, accessibility, land use – for specific sites.
• Compute catchment boundaries (drive-time / walk-time) and profile who and what is nearby.
• Harmonise datasets across national boundaries and coordinate reference systems.
• Hand the analysis clean, documented spatial data it can rely on.

What we're looking for

• You've worked with GIS tools (QGIS, PostGIS or similar) and open spatial data.
• You're comfortable with messy, inconsistent real-world data across countries and CRS.
• You can explain what a map is actually telling you – and where it isn't.
