Develop and utilise remote sensing products to support operational programs, at a national scale . Work on the development of methodologies to identify change in vegetation . Work in a motivated and professional team to assist in the protection of Australia's unique flora and fauna . Who we are Join Environment Information Australia in the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, producing key environmental information on our natural assets, and championing the use of a range of data and information in decision-making to protect Australia's natural environment, now and into the future. Working in the Environment Data and Analysis Branch you will be part of a team that provides geospatial capability and supports the Department through the delivery of spatial data and analysis for evidence-based policy and decision making. The Remote Sensing Team provides advice and support in the use of remote sensing data across the department, including management of the satellite image repository. A major focus of the team is the development and utilisation of remote sensing products to support operational programs within the department. This includes vegetation change detection to assist in the protection of Australia's unique animals, plants, habitats, and places. This is an exciting opportunity, offering the chance to use and further develop your remote sensing skills on applications at a national scale. The job We are looking for dynamic, highly motivated remote sensing analysts who will, as part of a multi-disciplinary team. You will: provide leadership and project management in the development of automated vegetation change detection processes using remotely sensed data, investigate innovative technical approaches to improve efficiencies in the use of remotely sensed data for applications at a national scale, provide project leadership and well-developed communication skills to develop robust workflows that support decision making and reporting, undertake expert interpretation of remotely sensed data to produce scientifically defendable results, provide expertise to the team in the management of remotely sensed data, including metadata management, and publishing and sharing data appropriately, proactively maintain positive working relationships with data providers and stakeholders. Knowledge and experience Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the production and manipulation of remotely sensed data using Remote Sensing and GIS software programs and languages, such as Python. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the analysis of remotely sensed data, including the interpretation of results. Knowledge and experience in validation of the spatial data to produce scientifically defendable results. Understand the development life cycle of remotely sensed data products, from preprocessing, analysis and documentation, metadata and publishing. Knowledge and/or experience in two or more of the following will be an advantage: Geospatial analysis through the compilation and modelling of a range of environmental datasets. Experience in using high performance computing infrastructure to undertake processing and analysis of remotely sensed data. Experience in modelling and analysis of time series satellite imagery. Experience developing scripts for analytics, modelling and/or visualisation purposes to deliver insights. Skills and capabilities Demonstrated understanding of geospatial data and experience using Remote Sensing and GIS software and systems (e.g., ESRI suite, Python). Strong conceptual and analytical skills, including the ability to assess complex information and contribute to the design and development of innovative, sustainable solutions. Capable of working under limited direction to solve problems and deliver high quality geospatial products and services. Project management and organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise workloads and take responsibility to deliver projects to completion. Demonstrated ability to work within teams and foster collaboration, and the ability to develop productive working relationships with a range of stakeholders. Well-developed workplace communication skills - oral, written and presentation - including the ability to engage with internal and external stakeholders, convey clear information to non- technical audiences and capture/define user needs. Desirable qualifications Degree or Diploma in Remote Sensing, Spatial Sciences, GIS, Geography, or related field, and/or an equivalent level of skills, knowledge, and experience in a professional spatial role. Flexible employment arrangements are available with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water nrmjobs.com.au/job/20026505
