The GIS Analyst at V&A Consulting Engineers, you will play a pivotal role in integrating geographic information systems with engineering projects to enhance decision-making processes and project outcomes. You will work closely with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to analyze spatial data, develop mapping solutions, and provide geospatial insights.

Responsibilities:

Data Analysis and Management:

• Collect, compile, and analyze geospatial data from various sources, including satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and field surveys.
• Organize and manage GIS databases to ensure data integrity and accessibility.
• Conduct quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures on spatial data sets.

Mapping and Visualization:

• Create high-quality maps, visualizations, and spatial models to support engineering projects and presentations.
• Utilize GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS) and other relevant tools to produce cartographic products and spatial analyses.
• Customize maps and spatial dashboards to meet project-specific requirements.

Spatial Analysis:

• Perform spatial analysis techniques, such as proximity analysis, network analysis, and spatial interpolation, to derive meaningful insights.
• Conduct suitability analysis and site selection studies for engineering projects.
• Assist in environmental impact assessments and land use planning activities.

GIS Integration with Engineering Projects:

• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate GIS workflows into project planning, design, and implementation phases.
• Provide geospatial support for infrastructure development, site selection, and asset management projects.
• Assist in the creation of engineering drawings, plans, and reports incorporating GIS data.

Documentation and Communication:

• Document GIS workflows, methodologies, and analysis results for internal reference and project documentation.
• Communicate technical findings and recommendations effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
• Provide GIS training and support to colleagues as needed.
