This position will suit someone who thrives at the intersection of spatial science and geophysics, with a passion for fieldwork, data innovation, and high-quality spatial outputs.

Key Responsibilities:

Acquire, process, and manage geophysical and geospatial data from field surveys and remote sources.

Integrate GIS, GPS, LiDAR, and remote sensing tools with ground-based geophysical instrumentation.

Generate spatial outputs including maps, 3D models, and technical documentation for clients and internal use.

Develop and optimise workflows for data validation, storage, and visualisation.

Maintain data quality and ensure compliance with metadata and spatial referencing standards.

Collaborate with field teams, scientists, and clients to meet project objectives.

Contribute to R&D efforts in geophysical and spatial data acquisition technologies.

Assist in the development of custom software tools and data integration platforms.

Support the preparation of survey plans and land information documentation.

Provide guidance and mentorship to junior technical staff when required.
