Overview

Euro Group for Engineering Consultancy in Saudi Arabia seeks a GIS Specialist dedicated to establishing a scientifically robust environmental baseline. This role involves developing a data-driven strategy to enhance regulatory frameworks, promote sustainable development, and facilitate long-term environmental governance across the operational region.

Key Responsibilities

Manage spatial data workflows by collecting, processing, and maintaining datasets such as field sampling locations, monitoring stations, land use, infrastructure, remote sensing imagery, and environmental layers.
Develop, update, and oversee GIS layers, geodatabases, and associated metadata ensuring data consistency and accessibility.
Create thematic, geostatistical, and spatial visualization maps supporting baseline reports, monitoring strategies, and presentations.
Perform spatial analyses including site suitability, hotspot detection, interpolation, buffer zones, and overlay techniques to assist in sampling design, anomaly detection, and identifying pollution sources.
Integrate diverse data sources such as satellite imagery, field measurements, laboratory outcomes, LiDAR, and UAV data to feed into statistical and trend analysis efforts.
Establish and enforce GIS workflows and standard operating procedures guaranteeing metadata completeness and spatial data quality control.
Support the development and integration of centralized environmental data systems, facilitating data exchange, API utilization, and map service deployment.
Collaborate closely with field personnel, laboratory analysts, statisticians, and data engineers to ensure spatial outputs are accurate and practical.
Produce cartographic materials and presentation-ready maps for technical documentation and stakeholder communications.
Conduct training sessions and offer technical assistance to clients on GIS tools, data interpretation, and map production techniques.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geospatial Science, Environmental Data, Geography, Environmental Science, or related disciplines.
Preferably formal certifications or training in GIS software such as ArcGIS or QGIS, as well as spatial analysis methods.
At least three years of professional experience in GIS with a focus on environmental monitoring, natural resource management, or similar projects.
Proven expertise in map creation, geodatabase management, and spatial data analysis tailored for field monitoring programs.

Technical Proficiencies

Advanced skills in ArcGIS and/or QGIS software platforms.
Competence with remote sensing and image processing technologies including satellite and UAV data.
Strong background in spatial statistics and geostatistical methods such as interpolation, hotspot analysis, spatial joins, and both raster and vector data handling.
Experience in geodatabase architecture, metadata compliance, and thorough data quality assurance measures.
Knowledge of environmental data types covering air, water, soil, and noise parameters, including spatial sampling methodologies.
Ability to create high-quality map visualizations appropriate for reports and web-based mapping applications.
Familiarity with data integration formats (CSV, shapefiles, GeoJSON, raster) and scripting capabilities (Python/ArcPy, GDAL) is an advantage.
Exposure to web GIS services and integration with broader environmental data management systems is preferred.

Core Competencies

Strong commitment to maintaining spatial data accuracy and implementing rigorous quality assurance and control protocols.
Effective communication skills facilitating teamwork across multidisciplinary groups.
Problem-solving aptitude, strong organizational skills, and ability to meet project deadlines.
Capability to train and mentor client personnel in advanced GIS applications and methodologies.
