GIS Technician

Job Description

Our client is a leading utility organization within the energy industry, with a strong presence in the Mid-Atlantic region. Ongoing initiatives across the utility sector—Grid Modernization, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and Distribution Automation—are driving the need for increased network bandwidth, capacity, and resilience. To support this growing demand, utilities are implementing more redundant and resilient communication backbones to ensure reliable connectivity across networked devices.

Historically, the organization’s primary focus has been on power delivery rather than internal communications networks.

• Communication:
  • Strong ability to collaborate across teams and communicate with internal and external stakeholders to gather necessary information.
• Attention to Detail:
