GIS Analyst

Contract · part-time or full-time Canberra / Remote

Turn messy spatial data into clear, decision-ready maps and analysis for client projects across Australia.

About the role

You'll be the analytical backbone of our client engagements — taking raw, messy spatial data and turning it into products people can actually make decisions with.

You'll work directly with our principal engineer on real projects from day one: preparing datasets, running analysis, producing maps, and making sure everything that leaves the building is right.

What you'll do

  • Run spatial analysis and geoprocessing (vector and raster) for client projects
  • Prepare, clean, and transform spatial datasets with tools like GDAL/OGR, PostGIS, and QGIS
  • Produce publication-quality maps and visualisations
  • Quality-assure spatial outputs before delivery
  • Document data sources, workflows, and methods

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of hands-on GIS experience
  • Strong QGIS or ArcGIS skills
  • Working SQL, ideally with PostGIS
  • A solid grasp of coordinate systems and projections
  • Clear written communication

Nice to have

  • Python for geospatial (geopandas, rasterio, shapely)
  • Remote sensing experience
  • An eye for cartographic design
  • Experience with Australian government data
