• Good understanding of geodetic principles, coordinate reference systems, map projections, geospatial data management and spatial data processing.

• Experience with GIS and geospatial data analysis.

• Experience or knowledge in one or more areas such as reference frames and datum development, GNSS, gravity and geoid modelling, land motion monitoring, geodetic adjustment, terrestrial surveying/instrumentation, remote sensing, or related geodetic disciplines would be an advantage.

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and MATLAB, as well as geospatial data processing and visualisation tools, would be an advantage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.

• Relevant experience in geomatics, geospatial or related fields would be advantageous. Candidates with 2–4 years of relevant experience are preferred, although fresh graduates with a strong technical foundation are also welcome to apply.
