Summary:

My market leading client are looking to secure the services of a Geospatial Data Architect to assist with critical project work over the coming months.

Perform gap analysis between existing datasets and the requirements of the geospatial platform.
Design and validate integration points, APIs, and interoperability standards between systems.
Evaluate licensing, contractual, and ownership constraints affecting data reuse.
Assess data governance, stewardship, and lifecycle management maturity, and recommend improvements.
Support development of feedback and update workflows for reporting and correcting data inaccuracies.
Ensure alignment with enterprise data architecture patterns, organisational data policies, and open data principles.
Collaborate with cloud architects and technical stakeholders to design performant and secure data storage solutions.
Produce documentation of the as-is and to-be data landscape, model definitions, and governance structures.

Essential Skills and Experience:

Proven experience designing and implementing geospatial data architectures within government or large enterprise environments.
Strong proficiency in EA Sparx for data modelling and documentation.
Deep understanding of metadata, data lineage, and geospatial metadata standards (ISO 19115, INSPIRE, GEMINI), along with data governance frameworks.
