Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled GIS Analyst with a strong background in geomatics and GIS technologies to support operations. The role involves working with a variety of geospatial and engineering data, including Drone, LiDAR, and BIM data to integrate and support projects within the oil and gas sector. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience working with ESRI platform, ArcGIS, and BIM software while being able to handle complex GIS tasks such as data mining, data integration, and advanced geospatial analysis.

Key Responsibilities:

• Data Processing & Integration: Process large datasets from Drone mapping and LiDAR scanning of assets and integrate this data into GIS systems to support ongoing projects and operations.
• BIM Conversion & Management: Convert Building Information Management (BIM) data into GIS format and upload it into the GIS database for seamless integration and accessibility.
• Technical Support: Provide GIS technical support for incident management during emergency/crisis situations.
• Data Mining: Perform data mining to extract relevant geographic and engineering attribute data from multidisciplinary engineering drawings (CAD files), operation manuals, inspection reports, and more, for GIS updates.
• GIS Database Management: Carry out GIS database edits after processing and ensuring quality assurance of data received from multiple sources to maintain an up-to-date corporate GIS database.
• Geospatial Solutions: Assist Senior GIS Engineers in developing geospatial business solutions to meet evolving business and operational needs.
