Job Purpose

Your role is to design, develop, and deliver the integration of the Geographic Information System (GIS) network model into the Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to support LV Management projects and operational visibility of the low‑voltage network.

The role focuses on GIS–ADMS model integration, data quality, data mastery, and adaptor technologies, ensuring that GIS data is fit for purpose, accurately represented within ADMS, and maintained through robust governance and automation. You will play a critical part in enabling enhanced LV monitoring, analysis, and control, supporting operational efficiency, innovation, and future network management capabilities.

You will work with LV Management programmes, control systems engineers, GIS teams, and third‑party vendors to ensure reliable, scalable, and repeatable delivery of GIS model integration into live operational systems.

Principal Accountabilities

GIS–ADMS Integration Delivery

• Design, configure, and deliver the integration of GIS network models into ADMS platforms to support LV Management use cases.

• Implement and maintain GIS adaptor technologies to ensure accurate model exchange between GIS and ADMS.

• Support end‑to‑end delivery from data extraction and transformation through to ADMS model validation and operational acceptance.

Data Management and Data Quality

• Develop data management and data quality routines to ensure GIS data is complete, consistent, and suitable for operational use within ADMS.

• Resolve data defects affecting LV network representation, working collaboratively with GIS and business data owners.

• Establish data validation, reconciliation, and exception‑handling processes to maintain ongoing model integrity.

Data Mastery and Model Governance

• Apply data mastery principles to guarantee a single, trusted representation of LV network assets across GIS and ADMS systems.

• Help develop governance frameworks covering data ownership, change control, and lifecycle management of integrated models.

• Contribute to the definition of standards and best practice for GIS‑to‑ADMS model integration across LV Management projects.

Coding, Scripting, and Automation

• Develop scripts and utilities to automate data processing, validation, and integration tasks.

• Support continuous improvement by reducing manual effort and increasing repeatability and reliability of GIS–ADMS integration processes.

• Help with the build, deployment, and configuration activities in development and test environments where required.

System Support and Change Management

• Provide technical support for GIS–ADMS integration components within the wider control systems landscape.

• Participate in change and release management activities to ensure safe and controlled deployment of model updates into operational systems.

• Support incident investigation and root‑cause analysis related to GIS or ADMS model issues affecting LV operations.

Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement

• Work with LV Management teams, Control Engineers, GIS specialists, and external suppliers to deliver agreed outcomes.

• Translate business and operational requirements into clear technical integration solutions.

• Produce clear technical documentation covering integration design, data rules, and operational processes.

Nature and Scope

Your role will focus on the delivery of GIS model integration into ADMS to allow enhanced LV network visibility and management.

The post holder operates across project delivery and operational support, ensuring that integrated GIS and ADMS models are accurate, resilient, and aligned with LV Management goals. You will contribute directly to the organisation's ambition to improve low‑voltage network insight, automation, and decision‑making through high‑quality data and system integration.

You will collaborate with other teams and external partners and plays an important part in promoting innovation while maintaining the stability and integrity of operational control systems.

Qualifications

You should hold a degree or equivalent industry qualifications. In addition, the candidate will be expected to demonstrate drive and experience in the following areas:

Essential

• Experience in GIS systems and GIS–ADMS integration within a utilities or distribution network environment. Experience with ADMS systems operation.

• Knowledge of GIS adaptor technologies and data exchange standards including CIM.

• Experience with data management, data quality, and data mastery for large network models.

• Experience of LV network modelling and its application within ADMS or related operational systems.

• Proficiency in coding and scripting (e.g. Python, SQL, Magik or similar) to support automation and data processing.

• Ability to analyse complex technical problems and deliver practical, robust integration solutions.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and non‑technical partners.

Desirable

• Experience with GE Smallworld or equivalent GIS platforms.

• Experience working with ADMS, DMS, and OMS in an operational control systems environment.
