CEMML is seeking detail-oriented and highly motivated GIS/CR Technicians to join a collaborative team that supports a large-scale Air Force survey, infrastructure development, and deployment program and equally large-scale ArcGIS Hub Premium site. This position offers the opportunity to work within a dynamic team environment while delivering impactful solutions for a nationally critical infrastructure program.

The GIS/CR Technicians will assist with creating and editing geospatial data, and developing data collection tools related to archaeological, historic, and cultural resources. The candidate must be familiar with and comfortable conducting activities such as walking long distances, excavating, screening, and driving in areas with rough terrain and where inclement weather conditions may occur.

This position will routinely interface with CEMML Cultural Resources Specialists, GIS Specialists, Air Force personnel, Tribal representatives, and other cooperators and contractors.

The GIS/CR Specialist will be expected to:
• Support field work surveys by providing on-site GIS technical support and troubleshooting.
• Actively participate in field work throughout remote and rugged areas
• Assist and support ArcGIS Online feature services and mobile tools (Field Maps, Smart Forms, Survey
123) for complex field data collection workflows.
• Assist with post-processing field data to ensure data integrity.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams.
• Troubleshoot GIS tool performance issues in the field to maintain system reliability.

The GIS/CR Technician is expected to provide in-person on-site support between March and October when field crews are deployed. The GIS/CR Technician is required to accompany field crews during 2-week field rotations occurring between March and October. The GIS/CR Technician will also remotely integrate with CEMML’s existing team of GIS, Natural Resources, and Cultural Resources Specialists located at CEMML headquarters in Colorado.
