Roles & Responsibilities
What You ll Be Doing
- Support the GIS Development Lead in configuring and developing GIS components of the Operational Digital Twin across discovery, design, PoC, implementation, and post-implementation support phases
- Assist in configuring and publishing map services, feature services, web maps, and web/mobile GIS applications using the Esri ArcGIS platform (ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro)
- Help develop and maintain geoprocessing tools, scripts, and automation routines to support data loading, transformation, validation, and analysis for Digital Twin use cases
- Support the development and testing of integrations between ArcGIS and enterprise/operational systems (e.g., EAM/CMMS, ERP, BIM, SCADA/IoT, data warehouses/lakes) under the guidance of the GIS Development Lead and Integration Lead
- Assist in implementing and maintaining GIS data models, including spatial, time-series, and asset/linear network datasets required for core use cases
- Support testing, performance tuning, and optimisation of GIS services and applications to meet agreed non-functional requirements (availability, responsiveness, scalability, security)
- Assist in preparing technical documentation, configuration records, and operational runbooks for GIS components, and in providing post-go-live support and minor enhancements
What Required Skills You ll Bring
- Degree in GIS, computer science, engineering, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution
- Experience developing or configuring GIS solutions using the Esri ArcGIS platform (e.g., ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, web maps/apps)
- Working knowledge of geospatial data models, vector and raster data, spatial analysis, and basic geoprocessing techniques
- Basic experience with scripting or programming for GIS automation or customisation (e.g., Python, ArcPy, JavaScript, or similar), and familiarity with web GIS concepts
- Exposure to solutions that integrate ArcGIS with enterprise and operational systems (e.g., EAM/CMMS, ERP, BIM, SCADA/IoT platforms, data warehouses/lakes)
- Experience working within multidisciplinary, multinational teams across multiple time zones
- Strong organisational and coordination skills, with some experience in structured project or delivery environments (e.g., PMI, PRINCE2, Agile/Hybrid)
- Exposure to testing, acceptance, or go-live activities for complex or integrated GIS solutions
