Job Description

We are seeking an enthusiastic and capable individual to fulfil the role of Geospatial Processor for oursuccessful and established client based in Knaresborough. This is a 6-month FTC with a salary of up to £13.50ph. This positionwould suita graduate looking to gain experience in the field.The successful applicantis requiredto execute established workflows creating products from a range of datasets. This includes LiDAR, imagery and power network asset information.Using a range of data, the successful applicant will need to complete digitalworkflows using PLS-CADD software. Examples include modelling transmission lines, producing reports and staking tables. Using meteorological data and aerial imagery.Day-to-day duties and responsibilities include:Remote Sensing Workflows

• Produce fit for purpose,spatially aligned,geospatial datasets to meet a specified level of accuracy,includingboth corridor and wide areas
• Employ image processing and enhancement techniques to improve the visual aesthetics of imagery products
• Assess and report on the spatial accuracy of the processed products
• Under guidance, be able to transform datasets according to project requirements
• Generate and compile metadata using existing templates in a comprehensive but concise manner using technical vocabulary.

Mapping, Classification, Spatial Modelling and Asset Record workflows:

• Efficiently classify LiDAR datasetsusing a range of contextual data sourcesaccording to specified schema’s
• Produce topographic mapsfrom LiDAR and imagery datasetsto specified schemas and mapping scales
• Produce LiDAR-derived spatial modelling products according to specified parameters
• Process and present asset imagery according to client requirements
• Import data into PLS-CADD ready for modelling
• Carry out Quality Control checks on theproducts produced

PLS CADD workflows:

• Model Transmission lines within the PLS CADD environment to provided specifications
• Produce Staking tables & PI reports for MeteorologicalData,Forward-Looking Imagery inMeteorologicalData,Forward-Looking Imagery& Temperature Calculations
• ProduceMeteorologicaldata independently
• Produce Temperature calculations to pre-defined templates
• Conduct simple transmission/distribution asset assessments against a set of defined criteria
• Carry out Quality Control checks on the products produced from these workflows.
