The Team & Focus of the Role

This opportunity has arisen to support the development and growth of systems within Fisher German's growing utilities department. The role will work closely with our land referencing and Geospatial teams to support the development and onboarding of clients and teams to our new project management system. Supporting future growth opportunities that align with our roadmap for systems in the division, the exciting role will be pivotal in our decision‑making process.

Fisher German hold and maintain datasets from across the division for projects we are working on for clients large and small. We have been developing a central project management system to migrate all of our historic systems and databases into, which incorporates GIS mapping. The new system is still undergoing development whilst we begin to migrate projects over to it. With this the need has arisen for someone to support both the development but also migration process for this alongside providing user support and training.

This role will be quite varied and will require strong data and technical skills alongside being driven and proactive in helping to make this transition period run smoothly.
