Implementation Specialist (GIS)

About Neara

Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara. We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics-enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents. This helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure. By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments, and build a more resilient global energy future. Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe.
