Job Purpose

Seeking a Consultant Geospatial Analyst to perform data analysis, processing, and visualization using Python, Google Earth Engine (GEE), and QGIS. Support projects by transforming raw spatial data into actionable insights and developing automated workflows to create impactful map products.

Key Responsibilities

As a Consultant Geospatial Analyst, you will:

• Perform spatial analysis using QGIS, Python libraries (e.g., Geopandas, Rasterio, Shapely), and Google Earth Engine to address project-specific questions.
• Develop, test, and implement scripts in Google Earth Engine for large-scale satellite imagery processing, time-series analysis, and environmental monitoring tasks.
• Develop and maintain Python scripts to automate geospatial 2 data processing workflows, data cleaning, format conversions, and integration tasks.
• Utilize QGIS for data creation, editing, geoprocessing, management, and production of high-quality cartographic outputs.
• Acquire, process, manage, and ensure the quality control of various vector and raster geospatial datasets from diverse sources.
• Create compelling maps, visualizations, and reports to communicate spatial patterns and analytical findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Work collaboratively with project teams, data scientists, researchers, and other stakeholders

Qualifications and Experience

To excel in this Consultant Geospatial Analyst, you should have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science (with relevant specialization), Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Environmental Science, or a closely related field.
