This role can be based anywhere in NZ

Accenture Spatial team specialises on integrating spatial/GIS with most industries. Our work varies a lot as all our customers have different needs (local and global customers). We work closely with wider Accenture and our projects are very exciting and rewarding. We cover the globe - New Zealand, Australia, Europe, US and LATAM/Africa/Asia.

Esri is one of the key toolsets, but we do work on all GIS tools – it is customer’s choice after all. Our core team is highly experienced and willing to provide you strong mentoring and professional growth on our exciting industry.

Spatial is pretty new within Accenture  and with all things that are new, there is energy and excitement around what we're doing....it feels shiny and fresh and opportunities loom tall around us.

With all of the above in mind, we're looking for a Junior to mid-level Consultant/Specialist who is highly experienced in GIS (specifically Esri platforms) and who is happy to wear many different hats and span a variety of things. You're someone who's happy to embrace a challenge of doing 'everything' - which means, you are keen to engage and learn all things spatial. So, yes, we feel like a start-up - but without the usual business risk and uncertainty that comes when you're starting something up and competing with established companies. Accenture is  the benchmark in all markets and spatial is one of the markets you want to watch and see what we do.

We're looking for someone who is a hands-on go-getter willing to grow on consulting and engagement with customers. You'll be working not only on multiple projects, but also in a pre-sales capacity to influence prospective customers and, given this, you'll be someone who enjoys building relationships with prospective customers and who is able to provoke and articulate the commercial value of Spatial solutions in a variety of industries and market segments. You will be able to design GIS solutions with hands-on spatial programming capability, configuration and administering capability (web and mobile web apps/maps) and GIS analysis skills.

Finding people who have this broad capability is rare (no pressure!) ...given this, overseas candidates are encouraged to apply. As an Accredited Employer, we can assist with Visas.
