You work in Esri ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online and QGIS, with data in PostgreSQL + PostGIS or SQL Server Spatial. You read DWG/DXF drawings from AutoCAD Civil 3D / Map 3D, write queries in Python (ArcPy, PyQGIS, GeoPandas, Shapely) and SQL, and use Sentinel-2 / Landsat imagery plus LiDAR point clouds for base maps. Daily tasks: georeferencing scanned cadastral maps to systems such as WGS 84 or EPSG:27700, digitising parcel boundaries and zoning areas, cleaning sliver, overlap and dangle errors in attribute tables, running proximity models such as 500-metre walking buffers around transit stops, and producing map layouts for council meetings. Around 15% is concept 3D modelling, 85% is cleaning, table editing and fixing datum mismatches.
