Junior GIS & Geospatial Specialist
The Role
The Junior GIS & Geospatial Specialist sits within the Offshore Delivery team and supports the delivery of current and future subsea cable installation projects within the client's 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.
You will work closely with Marine Survey, Engineering and Project teams to ensure spatial data is structured, validated, analysed and presented to a high technical and regulatory standard.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone in the early stages of their GIS career (typically 1-3 years post-university or equivalent experience), looking to develop within a major offshore transmission environment.
You Will
- 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 use in:
- 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 or repeatable GIS workflows where appropriate.
- Apply and adhere to Safety Management Systems, SSE Large Capital Projects Governance processes and SSEN Safety Culture.
