- Demonstrable ability to work with ESRI products (or other GIS software packages, e.g. MapInfo; and/or CAD systems) is essential.
- Good IT skills in Microsoft Office (word processing/spreadsheets/
databases) and basic image processing (e.g. IrfanView/CorelDRAW) are essential.
- Experience in dealing with OS data sets and aerial imagery is considered beneficial.
The employment package offers a competitive salary (£17,250-£22,000) dependent on experience & skills; a pension plan; 24 days annual holiday and an opportunity for continued professional development. The post is full-time and permanent.
