I'm looking for roles where GIS is a core analytical tool for urban and transport planning, not a peripheral support function — positions like GIS Specialist, Transport Planning Consultant, Urban Mobility Analyst, or Spatial Data Lead, where I'm directly responsible for spatial analysis that feeds into planning decisions
