What's the role?

Within Our Spatial Data and Engineering Team we look to transform spatial data into anaytical trends and process to update our maps.  You will:

• Support the end‑to‑end delivery of GIS data engineering and ingestion projects, assisting with design, implementation, and validation under team guidance.
• Help transform, integrate, and create geospatial data products using tools such as FME, ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, SQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.
• Assist in identifying and addressing risks and data quality issues related to large‑scale and bulk data ingestion and conversion.
• Contribute to GIS and spatial data analysis, supporting bulk source integration and map update initiatives.
• Develop an engineering and analytical mindset, focusing on understanding problems deeply and delivering the right outcomes rather than just executing initial requests.
• Proactively flag and help resolve issues related to data conversion, bulk updates, and the map database, while collaborating with the team in a respectful, curious, and integrity‑driven way.
