What we look for


We provide solutions and insight for an incredible array of clients. As such, a healthy desire to acquire domain expertise beyond the immediate technical task is welcome and encouraged.
Curiosity
We also stand behind the work we deliver - knowing that clients will use our work to make critical decisions. We look for people who stand behind their word and the work they produce.
Confidence
Nearly all projects we deliver require some measure of problem solving. Crucially we are looking for individuals who are able to research, develop and test alternate approaches to complex problems, typically under a deadline.
Creativity
Data is cool! We all enjoy working developing insights into the processes that underpin our society. We are passionate about our work and producing fantastic results. We are looking for individuals with similar attitudes.
Enthusiasm
Critical thinking is essential to our success. The ability to analyze complex information and make informed decisions is crucial in delivering effective solutions to our clients.
Critical Thinking
All the projects that we work on are technical, so your technical capacity is essential. We primarily use GIS, Python and Excel, but other skills and programming languages (Javascript!) are also highly valued.
Technical Prowess
The ideal candidate will possess strong technical, problem solving and communication skills, and have a demonstrated ability to leverage cutting-edge tools and technologies to deliver innovative solutions. If you are passionate about driving change with spatial data, and you possess a strong commitment to excellence, we encourage you to apply today! If you don’t see yourself in the jobs below, or nothing is posted right now, but think you still would be an excellent fit for our team, let us know! We are always flexible in our hiring for great people.
Current Positions
