Job Description
We are hiring a GIS Team Lead to elevate the impact of spatial across major Perth infrastructure and consulting projects. You will lead a high-performing team, shape our GIS strategy and bidding approach, and transition spatial from service provider to trusted digital advisor — integrating GIS, CAD, and BIM to drive better decisions and project outcomes.
What you’ll do
-
Lead our Perth GIS team: coach, allocate workload, set priorities, and foster a high-performance, inclusive culture.
-
Implement regional initiatives and our business line GIS strategy in partnership with national counterparts.
-
Shape and steer GIS bidding strategy to improve efficiency, consistency, and win rates; support business development.
-
Develop 3D geospatial environments for decision support and collaboration on complex, multidisciplinary designs.
-
Integrate GIS, CAD, and BIM using automated tools (FME, Python), and explore AI-enabled spatial intelligence where it fits.
-
Coordinate with Digital Delivery, Information Management, BIM, CAD, and platform leads to enable reliable data sources, structured outputs, and interoperable workflows (e.g., Revizto, ProjectWise, ACC, 12d Synergy).
-
Lead project GIS functions to align automation, reporting, and data workflows with scope, standards, and client expectations.
-
Deploy and support field data capture (Field Maps, Survey123, Experience Builder) in connected and offline environments.
-
Manage GIS projects end-to-end to deliver on time, on budget, and to the required quality.
-
Uphold robust data governance, QA/QC, and assurance across spatial and aspatial information; review completed work.
-
Stay current with GIS industry practices and software and share knowledge across our teams.
Qualifications
-
Deep ESRI expertise: Desktop, Enterprise (Portal/Server), and ArcGIS Online.
-
Proven deployment of Field Maps, Survey123, and Experience Builder (online/offline).
-
Strong spatial data management, analysis, cartography, and data visualization skills.
-
Hands-on automation skills using FME and Python; appetite to trial AI-enabled spatial intelligence where valuable.
-
Ability to translate complex spatial concepts for non-spatial stakeholders; excellent written and visual storytelling.
-
Experience in engineering, state government, or council highly regarded; exposure to environmental, planning, and infrastructure concepts is a plus.
-
Growth and BD mindset with attention to detail, quality, and continuous improvement.
-
Ideally you will have tertiary qualifications in GIS, Spatial Systems, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
