Job Description:

Our Digital Environment Practice Area is looking for an enthusiastic Geographical Information Systems (GIS) graduate to join our busy Geospatial team.

This is a full-time, permanent role within a team of more than 30 staff located in offices across the UK and Ireland.

We will pair you with an experienced member of the team who'll be your guide and mentor as you start to work on live projects.

At AECOM, Our focus is providing GIS and data management expertise on large environmental and infrastructure projects, as well as developing systems - such as mobile data capture, creation of toolsets for analysis or data analysis platforms - so other AECOM disciplines can carry out their work.

Recent projects carried out by the Geospatial team include:

Land access and survey request website for a large infrastructure project
Analysis toolset in SQL Server to assist in Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
Arboriculture survey data import system, using Esri Field Maps, ArcGIS Online and SQL Server to process data ready for reporting
Web and database tools to improve QA/QC processes on a citywide cycle infrastructure capture project
Route corridor site selection analysis for offshort wind grid connections

Digital Environment is part of AECOM's Environment, Water and Energy business.

AECOM's planners, economists, designers, environmental specialists, architects, engineers, programme managers and technicians work collaboratively to address complex challenges at all scales.

We regenerate urban areas, cities and regions; we create distinctive buildings and public spaces; we plan for the management of open space and natural systems; and we design and deliver infrastructure programmes.

Responsibilities
Your initial role will be to assist with tasks such as:

Data capture, management, analysis and validation
Data conversion and integration
Map production
Spatial and 3D analysis
Design and build spatial and nonspatial databases
Creating Field Data forms in Esri Field Maps/Survey12
Use of ArcGIS Online Web Maps/Apps to communicate spatial information to project teams and clients.
Use of coding, automation and technology to efficiently deliver workflows and provide innovation into projects
Meeting with internal clients to determine GIS requirements

You'll provide critical GIS input to delivering projects on time and budget.

You should be innovative and creative with strong interpersonal communication skills, and you should be comfortable working independently and in an interdisciplinary multi-cultural team.

You'll provide GIS support on a range of projects, including support to high-profile major transport and infrastructure schemes, conventional and renewable power developments, other industrial and commercial development projects, as well as GIS / Data Management projects directly led by the Geospatial team.

You will need to be flexible in order to occasionally work from other AECOM or client offices depending on project requirements.
