Siemens Mobility is dedicated to pioneering the future of transportation. Our dynamic team is always exploring new ways to drive innovation and efficiency in rail. We are searching for forward-thinkers who are eager to challenge themselves and make a tangible impact. If you are passionate about creating sustainable and intelligent transport solutions, we want you on our team.

We have an exciting opportunity to join Siemens Mobility as a Lead Project GIS Engineer in our Rail Infrastructure business and based at The Lantern, London.

In this role, you will contribute to the configuration, development and ongoing optimisation of Siemens’ Geospatial Information System (Esri ArcGIS) across multiple programmes. This includes ensuring that all GIS solutions, datasets and workflows are fully aligned with project requirements, industry standards and digital governance frameworks.

You will support the integration of Siemens’ ArcGIS environments with wider digital ecosystems, including visualisation platforms, asset information systems and EDMS/CAD management systems such as Project Wise.

As the GIS Engineer, you’ll be responsible for preparing, validating and delivering GIS outputs and datasets in accordance with contract requirements, ensuring all information is verified, quality‑assured and suitable for issue to clients or onward use within project CDEs.

In addition, the GIS Engineer will provide technical support, guidance and training to project teams and stakeholders on the effective use of ArcGIS tools and applications.
