Abley is a specialist professional services company with unrivalled abilities in spatial and data intelligence, software development, transportation planning and engineering. At Abley, our purpose is to inspire positive change, so our clients can make the right decisions.

Our location and technology team help organisations gain insights from their data, so they can improve efficiency, save money and make smarter decisions. We’re all about providing insightful advice so people can make informed decisions that benefit our communities.

Our transport team develop and deliver strategies and infrastructure that support safer travel, improved access and mobility. They’re big picture thinkers who also consider environmental, economic and personal wellbeing outcomes.

What you’ll be doing

That of course will depend on what profession your experience is in. Regardless of where your skills and experience lie, our technical roles are recognised internally and externally for their knowledge and skill. They are the core of the success of our business. Technical roles primarily develop and deliver technical solutions but also lead the business working with clients, identifying leads and delivering jobs.

For those with significant experience, you will use your detailed technical understanding of your area of expertise to lead and identify business opportunities principally within a designated business delivery team, but also wider. The technical roles also contribute to quality assurance of deliverables, and you will be identified as a ‘port of call’ for support and internal training within your specialist technical knowledge and skill.

What you’ll bring with you

Choosing the right person isn’t simply about results. It’s about relationships and fitting in well with our team. So, let’s make sure you’re the right person for us. You need to be:

A brilliant communicator– you’ll be chatting to people in-person, via email or video conferencing, and in meetings.
Be passionate about your area of expertise – Yes passion is one of our values and we want you to ooze passion.
Have incredibly high standards – this is where your eye for detail is so important and your aspiration to produce quality results comes in.
A builder of strong relationships–you will be supporting your colleagues, and attending client meetings, so it is incredibly important that you’re approachable, and can foster positive relationships.
Full of positive energy – we want people to feel energised, inspired and motivated to be around you, so bring your ‘glass half-full’ attitude to work.
Some technical skills – If you are a transport professional, we would expect you to have an engineering or transport planning qualification and at least five years’ experience in the transport industry. For spatial roles, you will have at least five years’ experience with Esri software products.
