A Level student gets real-world experience in geospatial and mapping technology
Ben Johnson, currently studying A Levels at Harrogate Grammar School in Geography, Maths, German and Politics, has spent the last week with our data-processing teams. He has been interested in 3D mapping and CAD design for some time and wanted to obtain some more industry experience.
He’s been drafting vectors, annotating maps with different features and characteristics, as well as using PLS-CADD™ software to produce 3D models of power lines. Ben said “I’ve not really seen anything like this before and it’s been very interesting to see how all the processes fit together. It’s exciting to work with such sophisticated technology and the people have been friendly and helpful. The experience has been eye-opening, but fun as well.”
We wish Ben all the very best in his studies and hope he considers returning to work with our data processing teams again. If you’re interested in a career in geospatial and mapping technology with NM Group and want to find out more or view our current opportunities, visit our careers page.
