LGeo is always on the lookout for awesome people to join our team! As a key member of a small team, you will have the opportunity to work on challenging projects, collaborate with talented professionals, and make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
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!

We are always flexible in our hiring for great people.
Current Positions
While we are not presently hiring for a specific role, we are accepting resumes for junior GIS or data analysts on a rolling basis! We would love to hear from individuals who are early in their careers who are passionate about GIS, problem solvers, and love working in collaborative environments. We like to frame this as looking for junior unicorns – individuals who are technically skilled and able to apply their knowledge in innovative and evolving contexts.

Curiosity and a demonstrated ability to be adaptive and able to learn new skills in an applied setting
At LGeo we offer an employee-owned, flexible and inclusive work environment with generous pay and good benefits. We work in a dynamic practice area (applications of geospatial data to urban planning) that is constantly evolving being driven both by local and senior government policy as well as shifting data contexts. Our team is thus creative, collaborative, and always seeking to innovate as we navigate new challenges in deadline-driven work! If you enjoy collaborative, in-person working environments working on multiple related projects then this is the job for you.
