Senior GIS Manager (Facilities | BIM–FM Integration)

On-site - Arlington, VA (project and client needs may require occasional travel)

The Senior GIS Manager will lead our geospatial strategy for facility-centric work—designing and operating GIS programs that integrate with BIM deliverables and Facility Management (FM) platforms. This role is ideal for a hands‑on GIS leader who can build scalable data governance, enable BIM–GIS workflows, and translate facility and asset data into actionable systems for owners.

• Lead Ayoroa Simmons’ GIS program for facilities, including standards, governance, and delivery quality across projects.
• Architect and manage enterprise geospatial data environments (e.g., Esri ArcGIS Enterprise/ArcGIS Online, geodatabases, services, and user access).
• Design and implement BIM–GIS integration workflows that connect Revit/Navisworks outputs, asset data, and spatial context for owner/operator use cases.
• Enable FM integration patterns (asset hierarchies, space/room data, work order and lifecycle attributes) to support platforms such as IBM Maximo, ARCHIBUS, Planon, or similar.
• Develop repeatable data pipelines for facility mapping, space management, and asset attribution (including ETL/ELT processes using tools like FME, Python, and APIs).
• Collaborate with reality capture and Scan-to-BIM teams to align point clouds, as‑builts, and spatial reference frameworks for accurate facility datasets.
• Establish QA/QC processes for spatial accuracy, schema compliance, metadata, and lifecycle maintainability of client deliverables.
• Coach and mentor GIS analysts and cross-discipline staff; document workflows and support internal training to scale capability.

• 10+ years in GIS delivery with 2+ years leading teams, programs, or enterprise implementations (title level flexible based on scope).
• Expert‑level proficiency with Esri ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and/or ArcGIS Enterprise (services, permissions, publishing, and governance).
• Demonstrated experience integrating GIS with at least one of the following: BIM workflows, FM/CMMS/IWMS, asset management, or digital twin initiatives.
• Strong understanding of geospatial data modeling (feature classes, domains, subtypes), spatial reference systems, and data QA/QC.
• Working knowledge of automation and integration methods:
  Python, REST APIs, and/or ETL tooling (e.g., FME).
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders (owners, FM teams, BIM/VDC teams, and project managers).

• GISP certification and/or Esri Technical Certifications.
• Familiarity with facility data exchange concepts such as COBie, IFC, and asset attribution strategies for operations.
• Experience with indoor GIS, space management, and campus/portfolio‑scale facility mapping.
• Knowledge of BIM coordination tools such as Navisworks Manage and CDE workflows.
• Exposure to reality capture deliverables (point clouds, registration workflows) and alignment practices.
• Understanding of information management standards (e.g., ISO 19650) and data governance frameworks.

• Work at the intersection of GIS, BIM, reality capture, and facilities operations, solving real owner challenges—not just producing maps.
• Build a modern, repeatable GIS capability inside a BIM‑first firm with a strong reputation for precision and innovation.
• Access to advanced tools and workflows, with support for professional development and certifications.
• A collaborative, people‑first culture that values clear…
