What You’ll Be Doing
- Spatial Data Management:
- Design, develop, and maintain complex geodatabases (enterprise and mobile) for large-scale infrastructure projects (transportation, utilities, master planning, and vertical urban layers).
- Ensure data quality, integrity, and consistency through rigorous QA/QC protocols, topology validation, and metadata management, adhering to NEOM and the company’s project standards.
- Geospatial Analysis & Cartography:
- Perform complex spatial analyses, network analyses, site suitability studies, and data modeling to support engineering design, planning decisions, and risk assessment.
- Produce high-quality, professional maps, reports, and geospatial deliverables for multidisciplinary teams and executive stakeholders.
- Digital Engineering & Integration:
- Lead and support the BIM/GIS integration workflows, spatially aligning engineering design models (from Civil 3D, Revit, etc.) with the authoritative GIS system.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of the project's Digital Twin solution by ensuring accurate and timely ingestion of real-time and as-built geospatial data.
What Required Skills You’ll Bring
- Technical Proficiency:
- Expert-level proficiency with Esri ArcGIS software (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise/Online).
