Verst Carbon is recruiting short term consultants and field personnel for a nature based project in Kenya, spanning terrestrial carbon inventory work and a blue carbon component at marine and coastal sites. All seven positions in this recruitment are part time, assignment based engagements, expected to commence at different points between September and December 2026. This means the work is scoped as a defined assignment rather than continuing employment, and start dates vary by role. GIS and Data Officers support the management, organisation and analysis of spatial and field data generated through the nature based project, helping ensure project information is accurately captured, organised and prepared for technical analysis and reporting.
All seven positions in this recruitment are part time, assignment based engagements, expected to commence at different points between September and December 2026.
This means the work is scoped as a defined assignment rather than continuing employment, and start dates vary by role. Establish the following with Verst Carbon before you commit:
This role sits behind the field teams rather than in front of them. Carbon project data arrives from multiple sites in varying condition, and this role turns it into something analysable: spatial layers tied to project boundaries, clean datasets, and maps and summaries the technical team can work from. Attention to data quality issues before they reach analysis is a large part of the value.
Candidates with a geospatial, geography, environmental science, surveying or data background, comfortable working with spatial datasets and mapping tools, and methodical about data organisation and version control.
