Geospatial Processor

**We are seeking an enthusiastic and capable individual to fulfil the role of Geospatial Processor for our successful and established client based in Knaresborough. This is a 6-month FTC with a salary of up to £13.50ph. This position would suit a graduate looking to gain experience in the field.**

The successful applicant is required to execute established workflows creating products from a range of datasets. This includes LiDAR, imagery and power network asset information. Using a range of data, the successful applicant will need to complete digital workflows using PLS-CADD software. Examples include modelling transmission lines, producing reports and staking tables. Using meteorological data and aerial imagery.

**Day-to-day duties and responsibilities include**:
**Remote Sensing Workflows**
- Produce fit for purpose, spatially aligned, geospatial datasets to meet a specified level of accuracy, including both corridor and wide areas
- Employ image processing and enhancement techniques to improve the visual aesthetics of imagery products
- Assess and report on the spatial accuracy of the processed products
- Under guidance, be able to transform datasets according to project requirements
- Generate and compile metadata using existing templates in a comprehensive but concise manner using technical vocabulary.

**Mapping, Classification, Spatial Modelling and Asset Record workflows**:

- Efficiently classify LiDAR datasets using a range of contextual data sources according to specified schema’s
- Produce topographic maps from LiDAR and imagery datasets to specified schemas and mapping scales
- Produce LiDAR-derived spatial modelling products according to specified parameters
- Process and present asset imagery according to client requirements
- Import data into PLS-CADD ready for modelling
- Carry out Quality Control checks on the products produced

**PLS CADD workflows**:

- Model Transmission lines within the PLS CADD environment to provided specifications
- Produce Staking tables & PI reports for Meteorological Data, Forward-Looking Imagery in Meteorological Data, Forward-Looking Imagery & Temperature Calculations
- Produce Meteorological data independently
- Produce Temperature calculations to pre-defined templates
- Conduct simple transmission/distribution asset assessments against a set of defined criteria
- Carry out Quality Control checks on the products produced from these workflows.

**Prerequisites**:
Ideally, a tertiary level qualification or equivalent in a relevant discipline,
Alternatively, good A-Level and/or GCSE qualifications, an appropriate aptitude for working with spatial datasets and software packages, a good work ethic, and an ability to learn.

**Expected Discipline Knowledge and Skillset**:

- Experienced user of ARCGIS or ESRI
- Working knowledge of standard software packages (Bentley MicroStation, TerraSolid, QGIS, PLS CADD, Global Mapper, Arc GIS, Excel) and ability to work independently with large geospatial datasets
- Awareness of geodetic concepts such as datum, projections and units, recognising the importance of using the correct coordinate system and the impacts of not doing so. Familiarity with standard coordinate systems and ability to identify these from coordinate system definitions
- A basic understanding of electrical transmission and distribution network concepts and differences between various assets (conductors, towers and other features)

**Job Type**: Temporary contract

**Salary**: £11.50-£13.50 per hour

**Experience**:

- ArcGIS: 1 year (required)

Work authorisation:

- United Kingdom (required)
