- Utilise GIS tools such as ArcGIS, QGIS and related platforms to manage and interpret spatial datasets
- Develop and maintain mapping outputs, spatial models and geospatial datasets
- Support infrastructure routing, network design and spatial decision making
- Collaborate with design and engineering teams to deliver efficient fibre network solutions
- Maintain and update GIS datasets for fibre optic network infrastructure using ArcGIS, QGIS and/or 3-GIS platforms
- Capture, validate, and manage spatial and attribute data for network assets (cables, ducts, pits, splice points, fibres)
- Produce high-quality maps, schematics, spatial reports and outputs for internal and external stakeholders
- Ensure data quality, integrity, and compliance with company data models and standards
- Perform data imports/exports and support integration between GIS, design tools (e.g., Visio), and network inventory systems
- Support as-built documentation workflows, ensuring field updates are accurately reflected in GIS systems
- Assist in troubleshooting GIS data issues and improving data structures and workflows
Skills and Experience
- Degree in Geospatial Science, GIS, Engineering or related field
- Minimum of 3 years' experience required for this position
- Experience working with GIS platforms (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS, 3-GIS)
- Strong understanding of spatial data analysis, GIS principles and mapping techniques
- Experience in telecommunications, infrastructure or network planning (preferred)
- Experience working with linear network datasets (e.g., fibre cables, conduits, network topology)
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage and validate large datasets
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving capability in technical environments
- Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with design, engineering, and field teams
- Proactive approach with a willingness to learn and improve systems and processes
Desirable
- Experience working in a telecommunications or utilities environment, particularly fibre networks.
- Familiarity with 3-GIS workflows, including fibre path modelling, splice management, and network tracing.
- Exposure to ArcGIS extensions or tools (e.g., Utility Network, Spatial Analyst).
- Knowledge of additional network inventory systems such as Smallworld or IQGeo.
- Experience with data automation or scripting (e.g., Python, SQL, ArcPy).
- Basic understanding of CAD/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Visio).
Why Join FibreconX
- Be part of a growing and innovative fibre infrastructure provider.
- Work with modern GIS and network inventory platforms (ArcGIS and 3-GIS) in a real-world telco environment.
- Collaborate closely with network design and delivery teams.
- Develop highly sought-after skills in fibre network GIS and data management.
- Supportive team environment with opportunities for career growth.
