Role: GIS Technical Officer
Location: Cambridge – twice a week
Salary: Circa £32K
Got a passion for conservation? Are you someone who wants to work towards keeping natural resources safe, and concern yourself with the manmade plastics and waste that constantly threaten our planet? How would you like to collaborate with others who have the same passion for biodiversity in a consorted effort to make a change?
I’m currently with an organisation that puts the natural world at the heart of its cause. They’ve done so much as a body to shed light on the major crises that attack the natural world and work twice as hard to preserve resources and prevent damage and loss from the forest to the ocean. They’re currently hiring for a GIS Technical Officer to champion Geospatial data to develop and maintain databases that track and indicate endangered species.
As a Technical Officer, you’ll be providing ideas and insight into various GIS-related projects, using cutting-edge tools to drive forward successful efforts to reinforce crucial data needed to sustain biodiversity. You’ll report to a senior Technical Officer who will show you the ropes and guide you when needed, but this role will allow you to really step into a professional environment and get involved with responsibilities that have a huge impact on the world around you!
If you’re a Geography grad and have used ArcGIS throughout your degree, you’d be a good contender for sure. Scripting is also a big part of this role, so basic knowledge of Python, SQL and R will be required to be suggested for the position. If you understand data, Geospatial data, data mapping etc, then please do consider yourself a potential prospect for the position!
The role is based in Cambridge, and you’ll be looking at coming in twice a week with flexible hybrid working opportunities.
The salary is around the £32K mark depending on your background and experience.
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect regardless of background.
