This role is ideal for a candidate with exceptional attention to accuracy and precision, a deep understanding of geospatial data and its applications and a commitment to technical excellence. Key Responsibilities Manage and continuously improve the bp CRS Catalogue and associated system of record/platform, including executing and reviewing geodetic object change requests, maintaining auditable records and serving the catalogue to required applications and systems.

Efficiently derive and implement new geodetic objects including custom CRS and transformations to facilitate data loading and accurate data acquisition, including collaborating with vendors, partners and government agencies where required.

Serve as a technical expert on geodesy and earth geometry across the organisation by responding to support requests and proactively finding opportunities for oversight. Ensure geodetic and geospatial integrity in data and operations by investigating and determining accurate geodetic parameters for datasets with unknown or uncertain attributes.

Hold decision-making authority for go/no-go determinations regarding geodetic integrity within the Geoscience computing portfolio, particularly when changes or upgrades are proposed.

Develop and contribute to Geospatial and other Technology source code where coordinate operations are being undertaken, ensuring geodetic integrity is maintained and adequate testing is executed.

Design and implement geodetic APIs that reference data from the system of record, emphasizing modularity, scalability, and automation.

Perform specialised quality control and verification of positioning and location data across geospatial and remote sensing vector and raster datasets, as well as seismic, wells, gravitational, and other geoscience data.

Implement, and contribute to the sustainment of, bp practices and specific procedures for geospatial data management, as well as general standards for Geospatial data quality and metadata.

Deploy and contribute to accurate and reliable Geospatial Data Science techniques to extract reliable business insights from Geospatial data. Proactively seek opportunities to enhance data insights, streamline workflows, and automate processes to improve efficiency

Assist in Geospatial activities, providing input to ETL, analysis, and visualisation workflows for a wide variety of use cases and data types on SDE and services within Enterprise Portals, adhering to established procedures for data management.

Continuously challenge conventional approaches, solve problems creatively, and drive innovation. Develop innovative solutions to improve geodetic processes, workflows, best practices, and service delivery. Pilot and implement new technology and techniques to enhance data quality and service outcomes.

Develop and deliver training sessions and knowledge-sharing workshops for users and collaborators, focusing on geodetic principles, tools, and data.
