Junior GIS Analyst

We are hiring a Junior GIS Analyst to support the collection, processing, analysis, and visualization of geospatial data, contributing to location-based decision-making. This role will require working closely with multidisciplinary teams to support projects involving Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Role Responsibilities: 

• Support Geospatial Data Collection and Management: Assist in gathering spatial and non-spatial data from various sources including field surveys, public datasets, satellite imagery, and internal databases. Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and completeness before integration into GIS platforms.

• Create and Maintain Maps and Visualizations: Design and update static and interactive maps using GIS tools (QGIS, or web-based platforms). Develop visually compelling and informative cartographic products tailored to different project needs or stakeholders.

• Perform Basic Spatial Analysis: Conduct spatial operations such as buffering, clipping, overlay analysis, and proximity calculations. Analyze geographic patterns and spatial relationships to support project goals and decision-making processes.

• Maintain Geodatabases and Spatial Layers: Assist in organizing and updating geodatabases, shapefiles, and raster layers. Ensure proper file structure, metadata documentation, and version control.

• Automate Repetitive GIS Tasks: Use tools like Python scripting to streamline routine GIS processes such as data cleaning, map production, and spatial joins. Support the development of workflows that enhance efficiency and reduce manual workload.

• Collaborate with Multidisciplinary Teams: Work closely with professionals in science, marketing or business analytics to understand GIS-related needs and provide technical input. Translate business or research questions into spatial analysis tasks.

Background and Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Geography, Geology, Agricultural Science, Soil Science, Environmental Sciences, or related fields.

• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in GIS software (QGIS, or web-based platforms).

• Solid understanding of spatial data structures (vector and raster), coordinate systems, map projections, and metadata standards.

• Experience with spatial analysis tools, including buffer, overlay, interpolation, network analysis, and spatial statistics.

• Background in working on GIS projects in agricultural or geosciences sectors.

Preferred Skills:

• Preferably a Master’s degree in Geosciences, Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, or related fields, demonstrating hands-on experience with spatial analysis and elaboration of GIS maps and products.

• Proven professional experience using GIS tools.

• Proficiency in automation using Python (PyQGIS) or related tools is highly desirable.

• Experience with data visualization tools like Power BI, or GIS Dashboards.

Personal Attributes: 

• You have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

• You have strong attention to detail and a high level of data accuracy, combining analytical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.

• You’re passionate about agriculture, geosciences and climate action, balancing innovation with practicality.

• You bring a positive, action-oriented mindset to high-impact work.

Please include a portfolio of past GIS work with your application. We're especially interested in projects that require strong spatial analysis, clear organization, and impactful visual presentation.
