This is an on-site assignment in The Hague, Netherlands. What you will do
- Maintain, organise and manage geospatial datasets and their metadata, and develop the geodatabases and spatial repositories they live in.
- Run ingestion, transformation, validation and quality assurance - and keep spatial data integrity, consistency and version control intact.
- Coordinate backups and archival, and keep documentation current for datasets, workflows and system configuration.
- Support geospatial environments in the cloud and on-premises: deployment, maintenance, troubleshooting, obsolescence management and secure operation alongside the GIS IT team.
- Perform spatial analysis - queries, overlays, buffering, proximity analysis, summarisation - and produce maps and visualisations that people actually make decisions on.
- Prepare data for modelling and reporting, and generate the standard GIS products.
- Recommend improvements to workflows and data management practice, and work shoulder to shoulder with analysts, developers and engineers.
Requirements
- A degree in geospatial sciences or a related field with two years of relevant experience - or roughly six years of progressive expertise in this work in place of the degree.
- At least three years in geospatial data management, and three or more on the ESRI Enterprise suite across desktop and server.
- Five years or more with ArcGIS Pro, including data editing, data management and mosaic datasets.
- Expert-level command of vector and raster manipulation, common raster formats and their trade-offs, GIS database management and accuracy assessment of high-resolution products.
- A solid grip on the fundamentals - data types, coordinate systems, projections, metadata - plus quality assurance and control practice.
- Expert Excel, familiarity with backup strategies and data transfer protocols, strong analytical and communication skills, fluent business English.
- Desirable: ArcGIS Toolbox and ArcPy tool development; ArcGIS Server or Image Server for publishing and caching OGC services such as WMS and WMTS; tile creation against standard tiling schemas; enterprise geodatabase design; prior work in an international environment with both military and civilian elements.
Benefits & conditions
You would join an established international team of geospatial specialists working to recognised standards, with the autonomy to improve how the data estate is run rather than simply maintain it.
