10 dream jobs GIS

1. Telvent - According to twitter activity, I've noticed that Telvent has a TON of opportunities that have been tough to fill, in particular, they have a number of positions available in the Geo hotbed of Norther Colorado (Fort Collins).  Honestly, I haven't really seen many of their positions posted on some of the common Geo boards so perhaps that's where their HR folks are coming up short! Rather than spending all their efforts on Monster and/or Dice.com perhaps they should look at some of the niche boards! See their job board HERE
   
2. Ubisense - Here's an opportunity you may not have heard of unless you happen to follow Peter Batty @pmbatty and his blog. Peter's company, Ubisense, is searching for a developer for a Ubisense World project. Knowing Peter only you Geo Rock stars need apply! Check out Peter's Geothought blog for details
