GIS Specialist
We are seeking a detail-oriented GIS Specialist to support the manual geocoding of approximately 10,000 residential addresses across three of the UK's leading longitudinal cohort studies: NCDS, BCS70, and Next Steps.
Working with ArcGIS Pro, historic Ordnance Survey mapping, and AddressBase data, you will identify residential property locations and assign accurate property centroids and, where available, Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs). This role requires excellent attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to resolve incomplete or inaccurate address information using a range of spatial data sources.
