At Digby Wells Environmental, our work contributes to meaningful environmental and social outcomes. We partner with clients across diverse sectors and geographies to solve complex challenges and support responsible, sustainable development.

We are looking for an Environmental GIS Specialist who can turn spatial data into clear, reliable insights that strengthen environmental decision-making. You will work alongside passionate and capable colleagues, contribute to multidisciplinary projects and grow through exposure to varied technical challenges, locations and client contexts.

The opportunity

As an Environmental GIS Specialist, you will provide high-quality geospatial analysis, mapping and data-management support across environmental and social projects. You will work closely with environmental specialists, project teams and clients to ensure spatial information is accurate, accessible and translated into practical project insights.

This role offers the opportunity to apply your GIS expertise to work that has real impact while continuing to build your technical, consulting and project experience.

What you will do

• Produce accurate, professional maps and spatial outputs for environmental assessments, technical reports, proposals and client presentations.

• Undertake spatial analysis to support environmental screening, constraints mapping, impact assessment, site selection and decision-making.

• Source, capture, clean, validate, manage and maintain spatial datasets.

• Develop and manage geodatabases, metadata and consistent spatial-data structures.

• Interpret environmental, social and project data and communicate the findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Support fieldwork planning, spatial data collection and the integration of field data into GIS platforms.

• Conduct quality assurance and quality control of maps, data and spatial analyses.

• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary project teams to define GIS requirements and deliver outputs within agreed timeframes and budgets.

• Apply relevant GIS standards, coordinate systems, templates and document-control requirements.

• Contribute to proposals, scopes of work, estimates and the continuous improvement of GIS tools, processes and capabilities.
