The Role
The Junior GIS & Geospatial Specialist sits within the Transmission Offshore Delivery team and supports the delivery of current and future subsea cable installation projects within Transmission’s development pipeline.
This role is focused on offshore geospatial data management, analysis, and visualisation in support of subsea cable route development, marine survey activities, and installation works. Working closely with Marine Survey, Engineering, and Project teams, you will ensure spatial data is structured, validated, analysed, and presented to a high technical and regulatory standard.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career GIS professional (typically 1 to 3 years post-university or equivalent experience) looking to develop their expertise within a major offshore transmission and infrastructure environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Support GIS and geospatial activities associated with subsea cable installation and marine survey projects.
- Process, manage, and analyse offshore spatial datasets, including:
- Survey point data
- Bathymetry and MBES surfaces
- Route alignments and KP referencing
- Geotechnical and environmental constraints data
- Produce high-quality maps, figures, and spatial outputs for:
- Project documentation
- Installation planning
- Regulatory submissions
- Internal engineering reports
- Maintain structured geodatabases and ensure data integrity, version control, and metadata compliance.
- Support the integration of marine survey deliverables into GIS environments for engineering and project use.
- Utilise the wider ArcGIS ecosystem, including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online (AGOL), ArcGIS Enterprise/Portal, and associated applications to support data sharing, visualisation, and collaboration.
- Assist in developing automated and repeatable GIS workflows where appropriate.
- Apply and adhere to Safety Management Systems, Large Capital Projects Governance processes, and Safety Culture.
- Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary stakeholders across Survey, Engineering, and Project Delivery teams.
