Geo-Spatial Professional

We are seeking a highly skilled Geo-Spatial Professional to join our team and contribute to the success of our Carbon Projects under the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) and other standards.

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing, managing, and optimizing geospatial tools, processes, and data to support project delivery.

• Geospatial Tool Development and Maintenance
  • Design and improve GIS-based tools to streamline workflows with a strong emphasis on automation.
  • Deliver and maintain GIS tools that reduce manual geospatial processing through automation and innovative workflows.
• GIS Mapping and Data Management
  • Create Carbon Project GIS maps by defining project boundaries, Exclusion Areas, Emission Accounting Areas (EAAs), Carbon Estimation Areas (CEAs), strata, sample points, and generate reports using data visualization techniques.
  • Ensure compliance with ERF guidelines and internal requirements, and that accurate and up-to-date GIS data supports effective project planning, monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
• Data Management of Geospatial Data
  • Store and label Carbon Project GIS data in a consistent and secure manner, and create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) defining best practice.
  • Ensure all GIS data is organized, labeled, and stored consistently to support data integrity, accessibility, and long-term usability across multi-year project lifecycles.
• Contribution to GIS Audit and Offset Report Requirements
  • Prepare required GIS data for auditing and soil carbon credit issuance.
  • Ensure compliance with ERF guidelines and enable smooth and timely ACCU issuance.
• Development of AU Mapping Process Improvement and Documentation
  • Maintain SOPs, improve GIS workflows, and ensure detailed tracking of project data. Manage AU AGOL spaces, sharing protocols, and integration of new features for improved project visibility and collaboration.
  • Ensure efficient, automated, and standardized GIS processes to enhance operational effectiveness, reduce manual errors, and maintain an audit log of mapping changes.
• Administrative and Team Support
  • Assist with mapping components of project registration, in-field soil sampling, compliance, and coordination.
  • Achieve timely project registrations, maintain compliance, and support seamless team operations.

• Tertiary qualification in GIS, Geospatial Science, Environmental Science, or related discipline.
• Demonstrated expertise in automating GIS workflows using tools such as Python (ArcPy, GeoPandas), ModelBuilder, or equivalent scripting frameworks.
• Minimum of 3-4 years experience in GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) and spatial data management.
• Experience with AGOL administration, integration, and automation.
• Familiarity with carbon project methodologies, preferably under the ERF, is highly desirable.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and commitment to data accuracy.
• Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams and manage competing priorities.
• Ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing, to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Personal Learning Budget: Support for professional development and continuous growth.
• Flexible Work Environment: Options for remote work to support work-life balance.
• Impactful Work: Contribute to global efforts in environmental sustainability and agriculture.
• Training and Development: Access to a personal development plan with ongoing training opportunities.
