Job Description:
The Geospatial Analyst in Wellington applies GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology to support planning, environmental, and infrastructure projects by collecting, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data. This role enables better decision-making in construction, urban development, and land use planning by producing accurate geospatial maps, models, and reports based on real-world data.
The analyst works with remote sensing data, satellite imagery, drone footage, and survey datasets to develop layered maps that identify terrain features, site constraints, property boundaries, infrastructure layouts, and environmental risks. They manage GIS databases, interpret geospatial patterns, and present findings using mapping tools such as ArcGIS, QGIS, and Global Mapper. This role often involves 3D modeling, spatial interpolation, and integration of BIM or CAD datasets for interdisciplinary coordination.
In collaboration with planners, engineers, and environmental consultants, the Geospatial Analyst produces datasets and maps used in feasibility studies, design alignment, risk analysis, and asset management. The role is increasingly important in smart city planning and digital construction workflows.
Job Requirement:
A degree in Geomatics, GIS, Geography, or Environmental Science is required. 3+ years of professional experience in geospatial analysis or GIS-related roles is preferred. Proficiency in GIS platforms (ArcGIS, QGIS), remote sensing, and spatial data interpretation is essential. Experience integrating GIS with CAD or BIM software is a plus. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and data visualization skills are necessary. Knowledge of local land use regulations and urban data is advantageous.
