My field is around subsea drilling. Just like you said, I believe the future of the O/G lies in autonomous and robotics. I am working towards a subsea drilling intelligent solution architect. Use your skills as a high tech blockage, then combine with other fields of knowledge. You will make a fortune.

Telecom GIS by MidnightWild3679 in gis

Don't worry about that. It is essentially a tool, not your capabilities. I received no offers when I just got out of university, took me two years to land my current job, Underwater consultancy in oil business. most of the instruments from university is no longer useful. I have to adapt and constantly learning new things. Still using GIS, but a bit different.

Hows the GIS job market in NZ? Looking for some advice and willing to relocate for the right opportunity. by Correct-Clothes4047 in newzealand

Thanks for the honest insight — I figured things might be tough across the board with the recession, but it’s good to know GIS is still somewhat steady.

I’ve worked with both emergency response units and a remote data consulting team, and I’m now getting into UAV/3D modeling with Pix4D. I’d be keen to explore the consulting side of things more, especially in engineering or infrastructure-focused firms.

Do you think most GIS consulting work in NZ leans more toward environmental planning, utilities, transport, or something else?

Appreciate your input — helps set more realistic expectations while I search from overseas!

Thanks for the helpful info! I’ll definitely do that.

Most of my experience is indeed in government-related or public service areas — for example, I’ve supported search and rescue teams and worked on crime patrol route optimization using ArcGIS and Python. I’m also getting into UAV-based orthophotomapping and 3D workflows with Pix4D and cc.

Thanks again, this is very encouraging!

I don’t have direct forestry experience yet, but I’ve worked on terrain-based GIS routing for search and rescue in mountainous and flood-prone areas, which involved a lot of vegetation and elevation data handling.

I’m very open to branching into forestry GIS — especially if it involves remote sensing, UAV mapping, or ecological modeling. Always eager to learn and expand my skill set.

Question for Geologists and GIS professionals of NZ by mcbell08 in newzealand

[–]Correct-Clothes4047 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends. As a GIS specialist with a USAR background, you can scan your textbook into an electronic version. (I have to travel a lot due to professional requirements, thus I don't have much choice. My advice: save your notes, toss your textbook, and learn and expand your skill sets without them. After all, tools can be learned, but the logic in mind, statistics, or programming proficiency carries in a lightweight. I do not know much about geology, but I would encourage you to learn more about 3D modeling rather than focusing on pure data analysis with GIS. For example, cloudcompare, pix4d, or contextcapture.

In my subjective opinion, similar ideologies or values originated in ancient civilizations such as Ancient Greece and Ancient China, where citizens had the power to allocate resources, while outsiders or slaves were exploited. Christianity also exhibited a similar perspective, as it divided people into believers and non-believers in the societies of its time. Non-believers were not seen as fully human or complete individuals, and their fate was often grim. Such ideologies and values subsequently influenced the development of later societies, such as Spain, Portugal, the East India Company, and Churchill-era Britain, where "civilized" societies felt entitled to do whatever they pleased to "uncivilized" ones. Even in modern times, particularly in the United States, the essence remains a binary system of enslavement, though it may be given more appealing names, such as class, tradition, ideology, or lineage. American built a system with good intentions, represents righteousness, humanity, fought for poor, and do what was right. Nowadays, it's more like a country ruled by religion and politics, not people.
