Junior GIS Data Consultant

An opportunity exists for a Junior GIS/Data Consultant to join a specialist technology consultancy, working across a varied portfolio of spatial data and consulting projects.

Selection of responsibilities:

• Supporting the consulting team to deliver data-driven outputs across a range of projects and sectors

• Experience with proprietary and/or open-source GIS technologies
• A good understanding of data management, transformation and manipulation
