    This person will be responsible for supporting the Geospatial Data Science and Digital Twins team to apply advanced geospatial analytical techniques to derive insights from its big data environment. The successful candidate will also be responsible for undertaking research and development into geospatial services and application of new technologies, development of automated solutions including developing 3D virtual cities and digital twins, new GIS data products and data science and insights services from the vast array of spatial datasets.

    This role will also allow the post holder to take the initiative on the development of data science related projects and analytics products with underlying spatial data to develop our new urban analytics service offer.

    The person will also assist in the development of web mapping solutions using machine learning tools and embedding geospatial datasets into gaming platforms/engines to demonstrate the capabilities of GIS solutions to clients using both open source and proprietary software packages. The person will also assist in broadening Buro Happold geospatial data and information modelling capabilities through regular consultations with BIM and Computational Engineering disciplines.
