Every map is only as good as the data underneath it. That data would be yours.
A multinational defence organisation in The Hague keeps a large estate of geospatial data,
on its own servers and in the cloud, and a team of GIS experts who depend on it. It needs a
data manager who keeps that estate clean, documented and ready to use. Fully on site, with
further years of work expected after the first period.
What you would be doing
- Organising and maintaining geospatial datasets, metadata, geodatabases and spatial
repositories - Running ingestion, transformation, validation and quality checks, and keeping versions and
integrity under control - Supporting the GIS platforms on premises and in the cloud – backups, documentation,
obsolescence and day-to-day fixes – with the IT colleagues who run them - Doing the everyday spatial analysis, maps and standard products the teams ask for
- Taking part in project meetings and suggesting better ways to work with the data
What you would bring
- A degree in geospatial science or a related field plus two years’ experience, or around six
years of progressive hands-on work in the field - At least two years of geospatial data management and of the ESRI suite, ArcGIS Pro in
particular, including mosaic datasets - Real depth in coordinate systems, projections, metadata, vector and raster formats, and
data QA/QC - Strong Excel, good analytical and organisational habits, and fluent business English
- Nice to have: ArcPy and ArcGIS Toolbox development, tile cache creation on common tiling
schemes, and experience preparing data for defence systems and standards
Why this one is worth a look
A specialist seat in an international GIS team, with follow-on years already expected and a
standing framework behind it.
