GIS Technician

Role Summary

At Flywheel Energy, we’re driven by financial discipline and operational excellence. We are seeking a detail‑oriented GIS Technician to support the day‑to‑day geospatial operations that keep our exploration, production, and pipeline teams informed and moving. This is an entry‑level to early‑career role focused on hands‑on GIS work: digitizing infrastructure, managing spatial databases, integrating field data into corporate systems, and producing the maps and records that field crews, management, and regulators rely on.

• Create, update, and maintain standard operational maps for field crews, management, and regulatory reporting using established templates and company standards.
• Produce clear, accurate map products supporting exploration, pipeline routing, land operations, and daily operational logistics.
• Apply consistent symbology, labeling, and layout standards across all map deliverables to ensure professional, readable outputs.
• Respond to ad-hoc map requests from cross‑functional teams within established turnaround timelines.
• Maintain an organized, version‑controlled library of map products for easy retrieval and reuse.

• Digitize infrastructure features including wells, pipelines, roads, and facility footprints from source documents, imagery, and field sketches.
• Input GPS coordinates, survey data, and associated attributes into the corporate geodatabase with accuracy and consistency.
• Georeference scanned maps, plats, and legacy documents to align with current spatial reference frameworks.
• Convert field data from GPS units, mobile collection apps, and survey instruments into GIS‑ready formats for integration into corporate systems.
• Maintain attribute completeness and accuracy across all digitized feature classes.

• Manage and maintain spatial datasets within the corporate geodatabase, ensuring data is current, organized, and accessible.
• Check spatial datasets for digitizing errors, missing attributes, topology violations, and overlapping features; resolve issues or elevate as appropriate.
• Archive older project maps and spatial layers, maintaining a clean and easily navigable directory structure for the GIS team.
• Apply and follow established naming conventions, folder structures, and metadata standards for all GIS files and datasets.
• Support data migration and normalization tasks during acquisition onboarding under direction of the GIS Team Lead.

• Fill out standardized metadata records detailing when spatial data was created, its source, coordinate system, and accuracy.
• Document data lineage, processing steps, and QA/QC outcomes for all datasets produced or modified.
• Maintain up‑to‑date project logs and work records to support team transparency and audit readiness.
• Assist in developing and following standard operating procedures (SOPs) for routine GIS tasks.

• Ensure GPS, survey, and field‑collected data integrates cleanly into corporate GIS systems with proper projection, attributes, and quality review.
• Collaborate with field, engineering, and land teams to understand spatial data needs and translate them into GIS deliverables.
• Support environmental permitting, right‑of‑way mapping, and regulatory filing requirements through timely and accurate spatial data.
• Assist with spatial analysis tasks such as proximity studies, buffer analysis, and acreage calculations as directed.
• Participate in GIS team projects supporting pipeline routing, asset development, and operational planning.
