NRARs Spatial and Data Analytics Team is seeking to appoint a skilled and innovative Senior Spatial Analyst (EXTRACTOR) to join our team for the proactive detection of potentially non-compliant water take through the state-wide integration of GIS, remote sensing, water licensing, water accounting and other datasets.

EXTRACTOR is an advanced, farm-scale water balance tool developed for NRAR. It enables the identification of properties where satellite estimates of annual water requirements (derived from crop evapotranspiration models, BoM climate data and estimates of on-farm storage volume flux) differ significantly from total metered water take. In this role, you will assess EXTRACTOR’s effectiveness through case study applications across the Northern and Southern Murray-Darling Basin.

Essential Requirements

Relevant Honours, Masters or PhD degree level tertiary qualification in Spatial Sciences, GIS, Remote Sensing, Science, Natural Resources or related disciplines or equivalent experience.
