GIS Consultant working on HS2
"Hi, I'm Adil,
I have worked within the humanitarian, energy, public and most recently infrastructure sectors where I used many forms of geospatial technology.
Since 2020 I have been part of the GIS team at Arcadis where I am the hub manager for the Calvert section on HS2. I am responsible of all GIS deliverables on the hub and to ensure engineering detailed design data is compliant. I work closely with engineers within the geotechnics and tunnelling discipline."
