About the Role

As a Spatial Specialist / Geospatial Analyst, you will be responsible for maintaining, updating, and managing spatial data related to fibre optic networks within GIS platforms, with a strong focus on ArcGIS and/or 3-GIS (and legacy GE Smallworld) systems. You will play a key role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of network records, supporting both design and operational teams.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in GIS within a telecommunications or utilities environment, looking to deepen their expertise in fibre network inventory systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse spatial data to support fibre network planning and optimisation

• Utilise GIS tools such as ArcGIS, QGIS and related platforms to manage and interpret spatial datasets

• Develop and maintain mapping outputs, spatial models and geospatial datasets

• Support infrastructure routing, network design and spatial decision making

• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to deliver efficient fibre network solutions

• Maintain and update GIS datasets for fibre optic network infrastructure using ArcGIS, QGIS and/or 3-GIS platforms

• Capture, validate, and manage spatial and attribute data for network assets (cables, ducts, pits, splice points, fibres)

• Produce high-quality maps, schematics, spatial reports and outputs for internal and external stakeholders

• Ensure data quality, integrity, and compliance with company data models and standards

• Perform data imports/exports and support integration between GIS, design tools (e.g., Visio), and network inventory systems

• Support as-built documentation workflows, ensuring field updates are accurately reflected in GIS systems

• Assist in troubleshooting GIS data issues and improving data structures and workflows

Skills and Experience

• Degree in Geospatial Science, GIS, Engineering or related field

• Minimum of 3 years' experience required for this position.

• Experience working with GIS platforms (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS, 3-GIS)

• Strong understanding of spatial data analysis, GIS principles and mapping techniques

• Experience in telecommunications, infrastructure or network planning (preferred)

• Experience working with linear network datasets (e.g., fibre cables, conduits, network topology)

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage and validate large datasets

• Analytical thinking and problem-solving capability in technical environments

• Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with design, engineering, and field teams

• Proactive approach with a willingness to learn and improve systems and processes

Desirable

• Experience working in a telecommunications or utilities environment, particularly fibre networks.

• Familiarity with 3-GIS workflows, including fibre path modelling, splice management, and network tracing.

• Exposure to ArcGIS extensions or tools (e.g., Utility Network, Spatial Analyst).

• Knowledge of additional network inventory systems such as Smallworld or IQGeo.

• Experience with data automation or scripting (e.g., Python, SQL, ArcPy).

• Basic understanding of CAD/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Visio).

Why Join FibreconX

• Be part of a growing and innovative fibre infrastructure provider.

• Work with modern GIS and network inventory platforms (ArcGIS and 3-GIS) in a real-world telco environment.

• Collaborate closely with network design and delivery teams.

• Develop highly sought-after skills in fibre network GIS and data management.

• Supportive team environment with opportunities for career growth.
