Job Title: Graduate GIS Analyst
Zoe Cross is a graduate GIS analyst at Skanska, currently supporting the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet Improvement Scheme. She holds a Geography BSc from Lancaster University, graduating in 2025, where she developed a strong foundation in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through specialised GIS modules and project work. Her placement year as a spatial data analyst at Sainsbury’s expanded her experience with diverse spatial datasets and analytical tools, including ArcGIS and Alteryx, strengthening her spatial data processing and visualisation skills.
At Skanska, Zoe has broadened her expertise by working with ArcGIS Experience Builder and Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), building workflows that transform and analyse complex geospatial information to produce accessible visualisations. Her current work focuses on supporting environmental and waste and resource management teams, producing end-to-end solutions. This experience led her to develop Skanska’s Made Ground Insight Model, a Digital Geospatial Model designed to enhance data accuracy, efficiency, and insight within construction-focused environmental workflows.
