GIS Officer

Council has an assets management system (BizeAsset) which is closely linked to the GIS.

Our current GIS Officer is off to Wellington, but he leaves BizeAsset in excellent shape.

We need to make sure it stays that way, but is also developed further, so that the information held in the system can be used to help staff in their asset management roles.

So!
If you:
.  Have experience of working with databases and manipulating the data
.  Are a self starter

Why not take on the challenge of improving on our existing use of BizeAsset?

An understanding of GIS would be advantageous. Full training will of course be given on the BizeAsset system if it is new to you.
