Spatial Jobs Online News Bulletin

Another week closer to Christmas and the weather is warming up - office Christmas parties are just around the corner and everyone is counting down the days to the office shutting down for a couple of weeks.

We’ve got a record number of candidates on the site - we’re almost at 7,000 so the reach of job postings is getting bigger and bigger. Why not add yours today?.

We have a variety of roles this week added through the National Native Title Tribunal at a few locations around Australia, as well as some fantastic roles with Townsville City Council and Vekta.

This edition we’re profiling Chris Whyte who’s a Perth boy and has recently graduated.  Chris has a ton of big-name experience that has seen him end up primarily in Environmental Mapping.

Candidate Profile - Chris Whyte

This week's profile is Chris Whyte from Perth. Check out Chris's details below.



Curtin University Graduate (2012) - Bachelor of Science (Geographic Information Science), Majoring in Geospatial Analysis

Desired Location: Perth, Western Australia (will consider relocation for the right opportunity)

Having recently graduated, I’m eager to start full time employment and further my career in GIS. I’ve spent two years as a Student GIS Officer within the Fortescue Metals GIS department (located in Perth, WA) in a part time capacity whilst completing my degree. My responsibilities currently include but are not limited to:

·         A wide variety of Map Production tasks in ArcGIS (Previously using MapInfo)
o   Symbology Balance
o   Imagery Tasks
o   Contour Generation
o   Various DEM/DSM tasks
·         Data Management
o   Formatting and Packaging data for distribution
o   Managing incoming data
o   Data Capture and Classification (Digitising)
·         Customisation
o   Developing Model Builder processes to speed up common tasks
·         Instruction and Troubleshooting
o   Providing help to new users and helping to solve problems within the GIS team

My interest and experience lie in the mining sector, however being exposed to the various requirements put on the GIS team by all the departments has lead to me being primarily based in Environmental Mapping (habitat, disturbance calculation, permits etc). Operations and infrastructure maps are also of interest, liaising with engineers and mine planners to enable clear communication of map purpose continues to be a large part of my responsibility.

In terms of desired responsibilities, I feel I’d fit in well with small to medium size team that requires someone who takes independent steps to complete tasks ranging from Map Production to Data Management. I consider myself an outgoing person, so a role that involves training those new to GIS could be also suitable. Going forward I have ambition to add more software customisation and 3D experience to my skill set through further study/on the job experience, for now I’ll be happy to stay in the 2D realm while I gain experience within the GIS industry.

I’ve the normal experience and proficiency with Microsoft Office software and an above average knowledge of Operating systems of the Microsoft Windows variety. Should you require more information or an example of some of my work don’t hesitate to get in contact!

Thanks!

Chris Whyte (BSc)

Candidate profile - Lee Whitmore



Lee Whitmore – GIS Analyst
0400 920 426
leewhitmore@hotmail.com
     
My name is Lee Whitmore and I am a GIS Analyst.  I have recently returned from 12 months overseas in Canada and am ready and eager to continue my career in GIS.  I am looking to pursue a position that will strengthen my current knowledge and experience in GIS.

I have over four years experience using GIS software including ArcGIS, MapInfo and Pathfinder Office. I have used software applications to design and develop GIS products. I have skills and knowledge in spatial data structures, data analysis, data modelling and data management.  I have experience in capturing and interpreting GIS data.

In my most recent GIS position as Alert Point Analyst I was responsible for producing and delivering the Alert Point database of safety points for navigational devices. These included speed cameras, level crossings and black spot locations for the entire area of Australia.  I developed strong management skills as I assisted in the development of this GIS product. With each release of the database I had to carefully plan what alert point features needed to be updated and what new features needed to be added to the database.  I gained experience in sourcing GIS maps and data from government organisations as well as motoring bodies.

I have excellent time management skills as managing time was a critical component in making sure that the tasks were completed and the database released on time.  For each release in the development of the database new features were added to the database which meant there was not enough time to complete required tasks.  On such occasions I had to coach and coordinate a small number of contractors to ensure the database tasks would be completed.

To ensure that the database’s quality maintained its highest standard I created a thorough quality check procedure which I was able to implement into the database.  With over 20,000 points in the database the quality check ensured that all Alert Points were located correctly against the current road network data and that all the Alert Point attributes were correct.  Using ArcGIS tools, SQL queries and Python scripts I was able to improve the quality of the database to 99.8% accuracy.

In a previous position at the same company, I gained knowledge and experience in the capture and analysis of GIS data.  I have experience in using ASPEN, Trimble, GIPSI Track and ARRB Hawkeye software and hardware to capture Australian road network data.  I have experience in creating drive plans; scheduling areas of road that need to be captured and what attributes are required.  I have experience in analysing and converting captured GIS data for use in GIS applications.

I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in 2004 at the University of Tasmania.  I have an interest in science and the environment and completed a double major in Zoology and Geography and Environmental Sciences.  My ideal career move would be to use my GIS experience in a role where I could use my science degree.  Examples would be to monitor environmental changes, track animal populations, monitor land usage.  That being said I’d also like to plan and make road networks safer, map economic changes, use GIS to improve farming practices.  I am open for any employment position that will strengthen my current skills.

I plan to relocate to any Australian city or town for the right opportunity. I look forward to having an opportunity to meet with potential employers.  I am available at any time for an interview.  I can be contacted by mobile on 0400 920 426 or by email at leewhitmore@hotmail.com.
