  • Support GIS and geospatial activities associated with subsea cable installation and marine survey projects.
  • Process, manage and analyse offshore spatial datasets including:
    • Survey point data
    • Bathymetry and MBES surfaces
    • Route alignments and KP referencing
    • Geotechnical and environmental constraints data
  • Produce high-quality maps, figures and spatial outputs for use in:
    • Project documentation
    • Installation planning
    • Regulatory submissions
    • Internal engineering reports
  • Maintain structured geodatabases and ensure data integrity, version control and metadata compliance.
  • Support the integration of marine survey deliverables into GIS environments for engineering and project use.
  • Utilise the wider ArcGIS ecosystem including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online (AGOL), ArcGIS Enterprise/Portal and associated applications to support data sharing, visualisation and collaboration.
  • Assist in developing automated or repeatable GIS workflows where appropriate.
  • Apply and adhere to Safety Management Systems, SSE Large Capital Projects Governance processes and SSEN Safety Culture.

  • A degree (or equivalent qualification) in GIS, Geospatial Science, Hydrography, Geography or a related discipline, or relevant military experience (e.g. Royal Navy, Royal Engineers, or other defence geospatial/hydrographic roles).
  • 1-3 years' experience working in a GIS or geospatial role (offshore, marine, utilities or infrastructure experience desirable but not essential).
  • Working knowledge of the ArcGIS suite, including:
    • ArcGIS Pro
    • ArcGIS Online (AGOL)
    • ArcGIS Enterprise / Portal
    • Geodatabases and data management principles
  • Experience working with raster and vector datasets, coordinate systems and offshore projections.
  • An understanding of spatial data quality control and structured data management.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce clear technical documentation.
