Robert Rhoades

Robert Rhodes has been working for T-Kartor USA since October 2018. He started in the Geospatial Analyst I position and has since moved to Geospatial Analyst III. 

Robert majored in Environmental Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia and completed a GIS certificate, sparking his interest in geospatial. He believes that creative problem-solving is at the heart of this industry, learning to manipulate the program to solve problems in new ways.  

After hearing about the Geospatial Analyst role at T-Kartor from a recruiter, Robert shifted from the service industry to geospatial. His educational background and T-Kartor's training program made for a smooth transition.

As he continues to rise through the ranks, he picks up new skills in each role to add to his repertoire. 

Robert enjoys the open and friendly atmosphere at T-Kartor. He credits this environment for the smooth transition from office to remote work in March 2020, adding that this helpful culture has continued through remote work.

Beyond the industry skills Robert has gained at T-Kartor, he has also learned much about professional communication and relationships. Whether discussing projects with his managers or giving pointers to new hires, Robert uses the skills he has learned to create meaningful and professional connections.

Robert encourages new hires, or anyone interested in working at T-Kartor, not to be afraid to ask questions; this is the best way to learn in this ever-evolving industry. 

Robert is eager to see the growth of the geospatial industry on a global scale and in St. Louis. His projects focus primarily on the defense sector, and he sees the expansion of geospatial in this field on the horizon. 

In college, Robert combined his geospatial skills with his interest in environmental science, making maps that showed climate increases across the United States.

Robert enjoys gaming, camping, and hanging out with his friends outside of work.
