About the role
This role will play a key part in building ACMA's geospatial capability and supporting the transformation of data and outputs with modern geospatial technologies. This is an exciting new opportunity to help shape how the ACMA integrates geospatial thinking into the way information is managed, analysed, and presented, while also strengthening broader regulatory and policy objectives.
As a Geospatial Analyst, you will apply your technical expertise to deliver high-quality geospatial analysis, visual products and support the administration of geospatial platforms, while also helping to establish better practices and new ways of working with geospatial data. You will work with teams across the ACMA to embed geospatial into everyday decision-making and outcomes.
In this role you will:
* Provide specialist geospatial services and solutions to support ACMA line areas and priority projects
* Develop and apply geospatial tools, workflows, and methods that are consistent, repeatable and aligned with agency, government, and industry standards and best practice
* Deliver trusted and authoritative advice and guidance across the geospatial data lifecycle, including consideration of regulatory and legislative implications
* Support the administration of ACMA's geospatial platforms and manage user access to ensure reliable, secure, and consistent use across the agency
* Curate and maintain core geospatial datasets and develop user-friendly tools that support common data requirements across the agency, enabling data to be used with confidence
* Contribute to modernising enterprise geospatial platforms and expanding data publishing approaches, providing users with more flexible ways to access and use ACMA's geospatial data
* Help build ACMA's geospatial capability and maturity by sharing knowledge, providing training, mentoring colleagues, and demonstrating geospatial tools and approaches
