Geospatial Data Lead

About the role

The Idox Geospatial Division has brought together four geospatial business units into a single combined entity to establish one of the largest geospatial businesses in the UK. The new division provides a compelling capability that covers the full geospatial lifecycle, from strategy and consultancy to powerful software and data as a service.

Geospatial data significantly underpins the Division’s current and future revenues. We are growing our Geospatial DataTeam in Pune to work alongside the Divisions Data & Research Team.

The Geospatial Data Lead will provide a key role in managing and coordinating the sourcing, digitisation, capture and quality assurance of geospatial data.

You will lead a small team of Geospatial Data Analysts, taking responsibility for the planning, management and quality assurance of their data capture work. You will train and mentor colleagues to ensure data is efficiently and effectively captured, processed, stored and archived as well as fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

One of the our key data products is Local Plans and you will play an essential role in the maintenance, update and quality improvement of this product, ensuring that the data is accurate, consistent and reliable.

You will work with a sute of leading technologies including QGIS, PostGIS, Safe FME and Python as well as other GIS software, to optimise the efficiency and automation of the data capture and quality processes.

You will work closely with the Division’s UK Data & Research Team to ensure that we adopt and sustain a best practice approach to data management, data quality and data standards.

Future data projects could involve the capture of new data sources or the augmentation of existing data products and you will be expected to work with the respective project or product manager to ensure the requirements and processes involved are sustainably established in your team.

You will be expected to communicate regularly with the UK team and to provide timely management and performance reporting information.
