GIS Consultant - #2193116

Your new company


You will be joining a growing, independent environmental consultancy with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality environmental advice across the UK and internationally.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary environmental business, you will be surrounded by specialists across areas including ecology, EIA, air quality, noise and environmental policy. The consultancy supports clients across a diverse portfolio of development and infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on delivering sustainable and technically robust solutions.
I have been to meet them in person at their London and Bristol offices so I can personally say that their culture and work atmosphere is incredible, definitely a fantastic consultancy to work for.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative and growing consultancy where you can develop your GIS expertise while gaining exposure to a broad range of environmental disciplines.

Your new role


You will join an established GIS function providing spatial and mapping support across a varied portfolio of environmental projects. Based out of their Bristol office on a hybrid WFH basis.
The GIS team primarily supports the Ecology and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) teams, although you will also have opportunities to work across other environmental specialisms within the wider consultancy depending on project requirements.
The variety of work is a real attraction of the role. Projects can range from smaller-scale developments such as individual residential properties through to major renewable energy schemes, including large-scale wind and solar projects. This will give you exposure to GIS applications across projects of very different scales, complexities and environmental requirements.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Producing high-quality maps, figures and spatial outputs for technical reports and client deliverables.
• Collecting, processing, managing and maintaining spatial datasets across a variety of environmental projects.
• Undertaking spatial analysis to support ecology, EIA and wider environmental assessments.
• Providing GIS support to different technical teams across the consultancy as required.
• Ensuring accuracy, consistency and quality across GIS data and outputs.
• Managing multiple GIS tasks and priorities within a busy consultancy environment.

What you'll need to succeed

• Experience using QGIS and/or ESRI ArcGIS
• Ability to produce professional mapping outputs and undertake spatial analysis.
• Strong spatial data management and organisational skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality outputs.
• The ability to complete GIS tasks accurately and efficiently.
• Confidence working independently as well as collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Previous exposure to environmental or ecological projects would be advantageous.
• Knowledge of ecological survey and monitoring techniques, including UK Habitat Classification, would be beneficial but is not essential.

What you'll get in return

• £28,000 - £35,000
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Exposure to a genuinely varied project portfolio
• Annual pay reviews
• Structured training and CPD programme
• Excellent team culture
• Enhanced pension scheme
