Joshua Geoghegan - GIS Analyst




Joshua Geoghegan
GIS Analyst

0407806335



My name is Joshua Geoghegan and I am a GIS Analyst at Lonely Planet Publications. I have worked in the GIS industry for around seven years. I have experience with the ESRI suite of software and some experience with MapInfo.

In my current role I build and test mapping resources for the cartographic team, including border templates and style files in ArcMap, along with updating the GIS database to support these resources. The border templates and style files are utilised when the cartographers create maps for guidebooks using custom mapping software and ArcMap. I test for the most efficient mapping processes using both ArcGIS tools and the custom mapping tools, which I then document and train the team. A large part of my job is to provide technical support using the service desk, and I attend to the majority of GIS related service requests. The cartographers rely on my expertise to solve problems that may stop them from working. From time to time I am required to communicate to the cartographic team as well as the managing cartography team when technical issues need to be discussed.

To keep on top of data requirements, I prepare GIS resources such as imagery and personal geodatabases for our partners who digitise our imagery. I then quality check and upload the incoming digitised data onto our GIS server. Another part of my role is to order this imagery through different suppliers. The purchased imagery is then prepared for digitisation with tasks such as orthorectifying, georeferencing, mosaicing and resampling. Daily tasks are made transparent to the team with daily “standups”, and the team’s tasks are planned using the Agile methodology.

My role requires me to maintain the GIS databases using both ESRI software and SQL Server. Database tasks include creating SQL reports for the cartographic team using SQL Server and Report Builder, creating an SQL database and Microsoft Access interface using Visual Basic for a project management system for publishing staff, and restoring the GIS and SQL databases when required.

My previous role as a cartographer involved updating and creating maps for guidebooks using AutoCAD, ArcMap, custom GIS tools and Adobe Illustrator. This role required a great eye for detail. I always completed my work ahead of schedule and to a high standard. It allowed me to prove my project management skills, as I often had to balance multiple projects at a time.

A temporary stint at a local council gave me experience with MapInfo 7.5, used for asset management tasks and for improving the GIS usability for departments within the council. I collected data to assess the condition of car parks, kerbs and footpaths, and I entered this data along with historical data into the GIS. I also redesigned icons for the council GIS and created maps for council departments.

Below is a list of the software I have experience with:

  • Adobe Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator 10-CS4, Photoshop
  • ArcSDE, ArcMap, ArcInfo & ArcCatalog 8-10
  • ArcGIS Server
  •  AutoCAD (some CivilCAD experience)
  • CorelDRAW
  •  Fontlab Studio
  • Map Info 7.5
  • Microsoft Office Suite: Access, Excel & Word
  • Microstation
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005-2008 & Report Builder 2
  • Visual Basic


The type of role I am looking for is a GIS/Spatial Analyst position, preferably in Victoria but I would consider interstate. As I love to challenge myself, I would like a role that will allow me to build on my SQL and database skills, which have already contributed to Lonely Planet’s production team. I am very experienced in providing training and support. I would also enjoy some field data collection if possible but I consider it a bonus and it will not affect my decision to take on the role. I take pride in my work, and I have a great work ethic that won’t disappoint.

My contact details are below:

Thank you,

Saini Gurminder Singh







Saini Gurminder Singh

0424324230



Graduate in Science, with Post Graduate Diploma in Computer applications, I started my career in GIS with NSW Fire Brigades in 2007. I gained professional experience in MapInfo to support Operational Communications, maintaining FireCAD data, managing state Gazetteer, Fire services resources and Mapping.

I joined NSW Rural Fire Service during 2008 in State Operations as FireCAD Information and Support Officer. Primary role was to support data analysis and mapping fire incidents. Building and managing Spatial Datasets, state wide RFS brigade locations, resources and administrative boundaries for RFS Central Dispatch System.

With my knowledge base of GIS Applications, Geo database management, strong Geo processing and Analysis skills I took over the charge of GIS Analyst to support RFS operations, mapping and drafting Mutual Aid Zones, Jurisdictional boundaries considering Population & Housing expansion and Industrial Growth.

I have extensive experience on geo-processing tools working with MapInfo Professional / ArcGIS 9x/10x. I gained ArcGIS knowledge attending various courses with ESRI up to Spatial Analyst level and applied my skills to gain working experience as GIS Analyst to cater to the ongoing requirements of State Operations.

I have experience in developing, managing and implementing GIS data in various applications. I worked through RFS corporate spatial datasets and spatial data sourced from external agencies, e.g., Lands data (LPI/LEP), Roads, Forests & National parks, Local councils and Census.

My data integration skills along with data mining, transformation, statistical reporting and mapping skills added success to all fields of my work with State Operations.

I have strong Spatial Analysis skills such as Geo-processing, Geo-coding, analysis, mapping & building quality business relationships. I am able to interpret and analyse spatial datasets to create statistical reports and presentations.

Working on GIS support role, I worked on many areas of significant importance to improve state operations dealing with fire incidents, fire behaviour and future planning with respect to human growth and housing expansion.

I have strong problem solving abilities. I actively took part in drafting, designing and implementing Rural Fire Service Central Dispatch System for Mid North Coast (Coffs Harbour and Bellingen LGA) and Warringah & Pittwater local govt. areas, which added flexibility and success to RFS ICON (Incident Control OnLine).

I worked through many platforms to improve Fire & Emergency services datasets, including Lands and Environment planning, Lands and Property Information, Rural Fire Service Brigade locations, Resources locations, Brigade & District boundaries.

I have great organisational, strong interpersonal and team management skills. I represented Rural Fire Service as a key member to assist Fire and Rescue New South Wales in developing, testing and deploying spatial datasets for Emergency Services Computer Aided Dispatch (ESCAD). As a team leader I developed major datasets, created and attached Operational business rules to state Gazetteer data set, created Mutual Aid Zone areas & maps to ensure error free implementation of ESCAD in time.

My ability to work under pressure in time bound environment including effective communication with people at all levels and from a wide variety of backgrounds and culture, helping nature to provide information & assistance to staff on broad range of issues for better outcome and timely response, responding to queries from the department or general public, and to negotiate with other departments & agencies with attention to details and  business rules added to success on my previous role, and also are my strong qualifications to suit the requirements of GIS and Spatial Analyst.

I consider myself an enthusiastic, result driven and focused person and looking new challenges and better opportunities to work as GIS support and/or GIS/Spatial Analyst. I am flexible to adjust in any environment, work under pressure and unsupervised.

Living happy life with healthy work-life balance,  primarily looking to settle in a new GIS role in and around Sydney. But, to some extent I am flexible to relocate if offered suitable permanent role in GIS to show cause my GIS skills.

Originally Indian, I have strong religious ethics (Sikhism) and am proud Australian Citizen.
