About VertiGIS
At VertiGIS, we help organisations unlock the full value of their geospatial data. Our solutions enable customers across utilities, telecommunications, government, infrastructure and commercial sectors to manage assets, optimise workflows and make smarter, data-driven decisions. We combine industry expertise with powerful geospatial technologies to deliver real-world outcomes for our customers.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Senior Geospatial Consultant to join our Professional Services team. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced consultant who enjoys solving complex data challenges, working closely with customers, and delivering high-quality geospatial solutions.
We welcome applications from candidates based in both the United Kingdom and Ireland with the opportunity to be based remotely or hybrid working from our Cambridge head office.
The Role
As a Senior Geospatial Consultant, you will work with customers to deliver data transformation, migration, integration, and quality improvement projects across a range of geospatial environments. You will play a key role in project delivery, leading technical workstreams, engaging directly with customers, and supporting the development of less experienced team members. You will help organisations improve the quality, accessibility and value of their spatial data while contributing to the successful delivery of strategic programmes.
