[Hiring] Data I/O Technician @Journey

Role Description

The Data I/O Technician is responsible for managing day-to-day data movement—including receiving, checking, logging, and issuing data—ensuring that digital assets flow reliably between internal teams, external consultants, and partner agencies. This role supports scalable data hygiene and reduces downstream coordination errors.

This giga-project is a landmark destination city built around the philosophy of the “Power of Play,” integrating entertainment, sports, and culture at unprecedented scale within a liveable urban environment. Spanning a wide range of districts and planned to support 500,000 residents, it brings together world-class attractions, major global events, and diversified leisure offerings while contributing to broader national transformation ambitions.

This Next-Gen Visualisation programme supports this vision by establishing a scalable digital production ecosystem—including a continuously updatable Unreal Engine “Marketing Twin”—that enables consistent, high-quality storytelling across multiple stakeholders. This platform integrates asset governance, real-time workflows, and creative guidelines to ensure the digital representation of the city evolves in parallel with its physical development and can be used reliably by internal and external partners.
