Working With Us

You’ll find us in Silicon Fen where we’re proud to have been part of the Cambridge Cluster of technology companies since 1969. Based on the prestigious Cambridge Business Park in the heart of one of the most established technology hubs in Europe, our modern head office is set in landscaped grounds and easily accessed by public transport, bike or car. We’re just a 10-minute walk from Cambridge North Station, on the Cambridge Guided Bus Way and offer plenty of free cycle and car parking including access to electric car charging points.

Whether supporting humanitarian relief, social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic or managing flood defences, our team delivers results that make a real difference to people’s lives. Our motivation is rooted in our desire to help users realise the power of their data to make better decisions that benefit us all – from enabling the emergency services response, to ensuring the safe supply of water and gas.

We know that, together, we can make our world better. That’s why we’re pleased to support our people who each year volunteer their time, energy and skills for global good causes. The Missing Maps Project, which aims to map the most crisis-prone parts of the world, and the humanitarian mapping charity, MapAction are two organisations that are particularly close to our hearts. We’re also enthusiastic fundraisers and regularly participate in Sport Relief and Christmas jumper day. More recently, our team raised money to mark 72 years of the NHS.

As a business born and bred in Cambridge, we also want to give something back to our community. Organising head office events in partnership with local businesses and entrepreneurs is just one example of our commitment to our home city.

• Are you a team player who can also work on their own initiative? 
• Can you demonstrate flexibility, agility and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving? 
• Are you approachable, smart and self-motivated with good communication skills and a focus on customers? 

If you can answer yes to these questions, you could be a good fit for 1Spatial.  

We’re on the lookout for people who are committed to continuous improvement, and are particularly proud of our people who have worked their way up through the organisation as their skills and knowledge have progressed.

To help you unlock your potential, we offer a wide range of training and development opportunities. You’ll also benefit from a personal development allowance which can be used to invest in training of your choice.

Some of our positions require a knowledge of spatial technologies and data. For others, such as those in our development team, we are more interested in your design, software and testing skills as we can teach you all you need to know about location data for these roles.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, looking for an apprenticeship or simply want to take the next step in your career, please take a look at our open positions. You can also email us a copy of your CV at recruitment@1spatial.com.

We’ll get in touch when something suitable comes up.

From the moment you set foot in our friendly open plan offices, you’re guaranteed a warm welcome from the whole team, as well as an invitation to our monthly Friday Sundowner social get togethers. In fact, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get to know your colleagues through our regular social events – from company briefings to Lego building competitions, BBQs to cultural celebrations, yoga to running, cycling and sports groups.

Taking the time to be kind to yourself is something we urge everyone to do. As part of our commitment to your well-being, we provide mental health awareness training, mental health first aiders and events to help you take time out from your working day. We’re also focussed on further improving our equality and diversity initiatives to ensure an inclusive, welcoming working environment for all.

You’ll also be joining an organisation with an international outlook! As a global company with offices in Australia, Belgium, France and the USA, we offer great opportunities to collaborate and work with colleagues in other 1Spatial locations, giving you a world of development opportunities to explore.

Whilst many of our people continue to work from home, we’ve implemented a series of activities to support them, including flexible working arrangements for everyone, regular opportunities to check in virtually with colleagues, online social forums, pub quizzes, and an Employee Assistance Programme.

It’s an exciting time to be part of the UK data sector, and the geospatial area in particular. Location data continues to underpin social, economic and environmental benefits and this is set to significantly increase in the future thanks to national policy objectives, as well as global initiatives such as the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s National Data Strategy reports that the UK is already a leading digital nation with the largest data market in Europe. It complements the UK’s Geospatial Strategy, 2020 to 2025 published by the Geospatial Commission which provides a path for unlocking the significant economic, social and environmental opportunities offered by location data that will boost the UK’s global geospatial expertise.

By joining 1Spatial, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the realisation of these and other important government initiatives that will enable the continued evolution of data infrastructures by making geospatial data easier, not harder, to work with.
