Key Responsibilities
- Lead and manage all GIS technical deliverables across multiple projects, ensuring timely, high-quality outputs aligned with client requirements and company standards.
- Oversee the full GIS workflow, from data acquisition and processing to final integration into immersive environments.
- Maintain strict adherence to standardised data structures, schemas, naming conventions, and metadata protocols for all geospatial datasets.
- Develop, implement, and enforce best-practice GIS data management policies to ensure consistency, accuracy, and scalability.
- Perform advanced geospatial data processing, cleaning, transformation, and quality assurance using ArcGIS, QGIS, or similar platforms.
- Prepare and optimise GIS datasets (vector, raster, elevation/DEM, 3D features, and attribute data) for ingestion into Unreal Engine.
- Utilise Unreal Engine tools and plugins (e.g. ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine) to import, geo-reference, and integrate GIS data into real-time 3D environments and digital twins.
- Collaborate closely with Unreal Engine developers, 3D artists, and visualisation teams to troubleshoot geospatial integration issues (coordinate systems, scale, precision, performance optimisation).
- Ensure geospatial accuracy, coordinate reference system alignment, and visual fidelity when translating GIS data into Unreal Engine scenes.
- Manage version control, backups, and archiving of GIS datasets to support project iteration and long-term asset reuse.
- Document GIS processes, data pipelines, and Unreal Engine ingestion workflows to facilitate team knowledge sharing and onboarding.
- Identify and implement opportunities to automate GIS-to-Unreal data pipelines for increased efficiency on large-scale projects.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior GIS team members on data standards, Unreal integration techniques, and project-specific requirements.
- Research and source GIS datasets to support world-building teams.
- Stay current with advancements in GIS technologies, game-engine geospatial tools, and emerging best practices for immersive digital twin development.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
Required:
- Proven senior-level experience in GIS data management, processing, and analysis.
- Deep proficiency with ArcGIS, QGIS, or comparable GIS platforms.
- Hands-on experience integrating GIS data into Unreal Engine, including familiarity with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine or similar geospatial game-engine plugins.
- Strong understanding of coordinate reference systems, projections, and geospatial accuracy requirements.
- Experience preparing and optimising vector, raster, DEM/elevation, and 3D feature datasets for real-time 3D environments.
- Ability to develop and enforce data standards, schemas, and documentation across teams.
- Experience with pipeline automation and scripting (Python or similar) for GIS data workflows.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills
- comfortable working cross-functionally with 3D artists, developers, and project managers.
- Experience managing and mentoring junior team members.
Nice to Have:
- Background in real estate, architecture, urban planning, or related property development industries.
- Familiarity with digital twin platforms and immersive visualisation pipelines.
- Experience with game engines beyond Unreal Engine (e.g. Unity).
- Knowledge of BIM data and its integration with GIS environments.
What We Offer
- A globally distributed, collaborative team at the cutting edge of immersive technology.
- Exposure to high-profile, visionary real estate and placemaking projects worldwide.
- The opportunity to shape GIS best practices and build scalable workflows in an innovative, fast-growing consultancy.
