Geospatial Data Analyst | Melbourne, Hybrid | Earth Sciences, Earth Observation, Ground Monitoring, Data Quality & Interpretation

I’m partnering with a globally recognised geospatial and earth observation organisation that is expanding its analytical capability in Australia.

They are seeking a Geospatial Data Analyst with a strong Earth Sciences foundation to join their Melbourne-based team, working across complex ground-based projects.

This role sits at the intersection of remote sensing, geoscience, and applied data analysis. You’ll work with large-scale satellite-derived datasets, apply rigorous validation processes, and interpret results within a physical earth systems context. Outputs are delivered to clients through clear visual products, technical documentation, and presentations that translate complex subsurface behaviour into actionable insight.

Geospatial Data Analyst Responsibilities

• Analyse satellite-derived deformation and earth observation datasets to detect, validate, and interpret ground movement trends.
• Apply structured validation and review processes to ensure analytical outputs meet internal technical standards.
• Interpret spatial patterns through a geoscientific lens, considering geological, geotechnical, and environmental drivers.
• Work closely with geographically distributed technical teams to refine analytical approaches and improve data reliability.
• Produce client-ready technical reports, visual outputs, and presentations that clearly explain findings and implications.
• Contribute to project planning and delivery, balancing analytical depth with commercial and time constraints.
• Support proposal development, technical discussions, and external engagements where specialist input is required.
• Improve analytical efficiency through scripting or automation to streamline repeatable workflows.
• Source, organise, and maintain supporting spatial and earth science datasets relevant to ongoing studies.

Geospatial Data Analyst Requirements

• Tertiary qualification in Geology, Geophysics, Geotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Earth Sciences, or a closely related discipline (essential).
• Hands-on experience working with remote sensing datasets focused on surface or subsurface movement.
• Strong understanding of physical earth processes, including soil and rock behaviour, deformation mechanisms, or geodynamic systems.
• Experience translating complex technical analysis into structured written outputs and visual materials for varied audiences.
• Practical experience managing analytical tasks across multiple projects or deliverables.
• Exposure to GIS platforms for spatial analysis and data interrogation, beyond basic mapping.
• Working knowledge of scripting or programming (e.g. Python) for analytical support or process improvement.
• Background or project exposure within sectors such as mining, infrastructure, energy, or geohazards.
• Comfortable operating in a client-facing or stakeholder-engaged environment.  

This is a fulltime position in Melbourne. If interested, please apply with your most up-to-date CV & I’ll be in touch!
