- Produce clear maps and visualisations for clients, partners and communities.
- Work closely with our hydrologists and project managers.
Who you are
- At least a master’s degree in GIS, geography, earth sciences or a related field.
- Preferably at least five years of experience with GIS in water, environmental or infrastructure projects.
- Skilled in common GIS software, such as QGIS or ArcGIS.
- Fluent in English; French is an advantage.
- Willing to make occasional site visits to projects in various countries.
