As a GIS Developer with WSP you will sit inside the Transformation & Digital Insights service line and create bespoke GIS functionality and web applications in answer to client requirements. These clients will come from a variety of disciplines and will pose compelling questions that require complex answers that are not possible to answer using out of the box software solutions.
Collaboration is key to everything we do as the Digital Advisory service line and as such you should possess robust teamworking and communication skills and be able to explain complex GIS processes and procedures to members of staff and clients with varying knowledge of the capabilities of digital data and software platforms. Innovation is highly desired within the digital space, to ensure we stay abreast of the current technological trends and procedures that can add value to the service line. As such, we look for people with a desire to innovate and use their initiative to implement the best solution possible for the current use case.
You should be an individual with a keen attention to detail and an appreciation of the importance of quality in everything we produce as the Digital Advisory service line, be this a python script, or a bespoke web application built using OpenLayers and React to serve data to end users via ArcGIS Server.
