GIS and carbon modeling specialist

We’re building a large-scale reforestation & agroforestry project in the DRC under Gold Standard certification.

We’re looking for someone who is exceptionally strong in GIS and likes carbon modeling.

Please reach out to us if you:

• Can run Google Earth Engine without googling it
• Can defend a land-use classification to a verifier.
• Understand spatial accuracy, stratification, and why it matters for additionality.
• Build carbon models that actually reflect what’s happening on the ground.
• Still keep your sense of humour when Excel, QGIS and GEE misbehave.

You will own the scientific, spatial, and carbon integrity of our Gold Standard ARR project in the DRC. This is a high-ownership role. You won’t just “do GIS.” You’ll shape how the project stands up to scrutiny.

You’ll work at the intersection of:

🛰 GIS & remote sensing

📊 Carbon curve modeling & biomass estimation

🌳 Field inventory data & tree growth monitoring
