Part of the remit of a Geospatial Analyst/Assistant would be to improve the quality of geospatial data storage in close co-operation with IM&T. Another important element of the role would be to continue the strategic development of GIS technology, modelling and competencies of spatial data to aid the geoscientists in their day to day workflows. We would like to see the candidate investigating new ways for modelling data to aid geoscientists interpretation to provide a competitive edge in our geological understanding of an area.
Key Responsibilities
• Strategic drive to utilise the GIS domain to gain significant competitive advantage.
• Development of analysis and modelling of spatial data to aid the geoscientists regional interpretation.
• Support play and regional mapping projects.
• GIS strategy and development.
• Training and user support.
• Focal point for:
- G&G data availability and currency
- User support
- Integration of existing software and spatial data
- Standards and procedures
Essentials
The ideal candidate would have:
• Bachelors degree in Geology, geography (combined GIS) or other Earth science discipline
• Familiarity of Exploration workflows and geotechnical data
• Understanding of coordinate reference systems
• ArcGIS experience
• Python scripting experience
• High standard of computer literacy
• Excellent problem solving, communication and team working skills.
The following skills or experience would beneficial:
• Familiarity with Landmark applications and/or Petrel
• Other GIS software experience
• Experience with management of spatial data
• Remote sensing/image analysis experience
GIS technology is seen as business critical and a core competency. The technology is primarily used in relation to the G&G elements of the business for example, as a mapping tool, data integration tool and a data access tool. In the past year the use of GIS has now grown outside the mapping domain into taking advantage of the advanced spatial and statistical analysis that geographic information systems have to offer.
