The Opportunity

Based at our Nuneaton Office, with hybrid working, you will be part of a small team assisting with all aspects of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Your primary responsibilities will involve processing, transforming, and integrating spatial data into PostGIS systems using FME, as well as leveraging GeoServer for web-based mapping services. You will also apply cartographic principles to create high-quality maps (SLD, CSS) and visualizations.

A key part of the role will be developing and maintaining geospatial data workflows, ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and interoperability of spatial data across different platforms. You will work extensively with GIS applications such as ArcGIS, QGIS (preferred), and other industry-standard tools.

If you have the ability to translate technical GIS concepts into non-technical language and possess skills in spatial analysis techniques, including spatial statistics, network analysis, and geocoding, this would be highly desirable for the role.

You’d also have a familiarity with GIS programming languages and libraries such as Python, R, or .Net for custom scripting and automation.

About You

This is an exciting opportunity with clear scope for career development and growth, working within a small and friendly team. The ideal candidate will ideally have previous experience in a GIS role and have the following attributes:

  • Process, transform, and integrate geospatial data using FME into PostGIS databases.

  • Manage and optimize GIS data storage and retrieval within a PostGIS environment.

  • Configure and maintain GeoServer to provide spatial data through web applications.

  • Work with QGIS, ArcGIS, and other GIS software for spatial analysis and visualization.

  • Develop and maintain geospatial workflows to enhance data processing and automation.

  • Ensure data accuracy, integrity, and interoperability between GIS platforms.

  • Troubleshoot GIS software and data-related issues and support end-users.

  • Collaborate with developers, data analysts, and stakeholders to improve GIS capabilities

    Requirements:

  • Experience in data acquisition, cleaning, and georeferencing.

  • Proficiency in using FME for data transformation and integration.

  • Strong knowledge of PostGIS and relational database management systems (PostgreSQL, Oracle Spatial).

  • Hands-on experience with GeoServer for serving spatial data.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to address complex spatial challenges.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for documentation, presentations, and team collaboration.

  • Commitment to staying up to date with GIS advancements and best practices.

  • Familiarity with GIS programming languages such as Python, R, or .NET for custom scripting and automation.

    Full training on all bespoke systems and procedures will be provided to the successful applicant.

    What We Offer

    This is a full-time role (37.5 hours, Monday to Friday) based from our office in Nuneaton, within our hybrid working policy – Tuesdays/Wednesdays and Fridays are office days.

    In return, we offer; competitive salary, contributory pension under auto-enrolment rules, access to employee benefits platform, free parking and a friendly and collaborative working environment together with good opportunity to develop this role and your skills along the way.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
