Title:
Graduate / Junior GIS AnalystThe OpportunityKBR is seeking a Graduate / Junior GIS Analyst to join our GIS team supporting major infrastructure projects across Australia and the wider APAC region.
This is an opportunity to build your GIS career within a collaborative team of spatial professionals with a broad range of technical and industry experience. You will work alongside GIS specialists, engineers and other technical disciplines, applying spatial technologies to real-world infrastructure challenges and helping project teams make better use of location-based information.
You will gain hands-on experience with current GIS software, web GIS technologies and field hardware, supporting the full spatial information lifecycle—from field data capture and data management through to processing, analysis, automation and visualisation.
As an early-career role, we don't expect you to know everything from day one. You will be supported by experienced GIS specialists, with training and mentoring provided as you develop your technical and professional capabilities.
What You'll Do
- Prepare, manage, analyse and present spatial data to support multidisciplinary infrastructure projects.
- Produce high-quality maps, spatial analysis and other GIS deliverables using primarily Esri technologies, with opportunities to work with QGIS, FME and other spatial tools.
- Support office and field-based GIS workflows, including mobile GIS technologies and field hardware used for spatial data capture, validation and processing.
- Work with experienced GIS specialists to help project teams identify appropriate technologies and workflows for data capture, processing, analysis, management and visualisation.
- Support ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise solutions, including preparing and publishing spatial data, web maps and applications.
- Develop your Python and GIS automation skills, helping improve the efficiency, consistency and repeatability of project workflows.
- Collaborate with engineering and other technical disciplines, communicating GIS concepts, processes and opportunities in a clear and practical way.
- Work closely with KBR's immersive and visualisation specialists, with opportunities to contribute to integrated spatial, 3D and visualisation workflows.
- Deliver assigned work to agreed project, quality and HSE requirements with guidance and support from senior GIS team members.
- Contribute ideas, share knowledge and help drive innovation and continuous improvement within the GIS team and wider KBR community.
What You'll Bring
- An undergraduate degree in GIS, Spatial Science, Geomatics, Geography, Engineering, or another relevant discipline with a strong GIS or spatial component.
- Graduate-level experience through to approximately 2 years of relevant industry experience.
- Practical experience with ArcGIS Pro and a sound understanding of core GIS concepts, spatial data, coordinate systems and data management.
- An interest in Python scripting and automation, with some existing exposure or experience highly regarded.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with GIS specialists, engineers and other technical disciplines.
- A practical approach to problem solving, with curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn new technologies and workflows.
- The ability to work collaboratively as part of a project team and manage assigned tasks effectively.
Experience or exposure to QGIS, FME, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, field GIS and mobile data capture, CAD/BIM, 3D GIS or visualisation technologies would be advantageous, but is not essential.
