• Manage enterprise GIS systems including geodatabases, servers, applications, and spatial data infrastructures supporting major road networks.
• Conduct periodical GIS audits to verify spatial data accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with MOTLS standards.
• Oversee spatial data quality assurance including validation, error detection, correction workflows, and metadata governance.
• Develop GIS policies, procedures, and data governance frameworks to standardize and secure all GIS operations.
• Review and approve GIS datasets, maps, geodatabases, and analytical outputs submitted by contractors for road construction and maintenance projects.
• Integrate GIS with MOTLS systems such as asset management platforms, pavement management systems, and road maintenance dashboards.
• Perform advanced spatial analysis to support route optimization, safety assessments, traffic studies, and infrastructure planning.
• Lead GIS workshops, staff training, and capacity‑building programs to enhance technical competency and promote a strong GIS culture.
• Ensure compliance with MOTLS and international GIS standards such as ISO 19115, ISO 19157, OGC standards, and ESRI best practices.
• Prepare high‑level GIS reports and dashboards for MOTLS leadership, including spatial performance indicators and analytical summaries.
• Support digital transformation initiatives by recommending new technologies, automation tools, and system enhancements.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying gaps, optimizing workflows, and promoting innovation in GIS operations.

• Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geography, Geomatics, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
• Minimum 15 years of professional GIS experience.
• Strong academic foundation in spatial data science, remote sensing, geospatial analysis, cartography, geodesy, and database management.

• GISP (GIS Professional) certification.
• ESRI Technical Certifications such as ArcGIS Desktop Professional, Enterprise Geodatabase Management, or ArcGIS Enterprise Administration.
• ISO/TC 211 training related to geographic information standards.
• Remote sensing certifications (ERDAS, ENVI) are an advantage.
• Project management certifications (PMP, PRINCE2) are beneficial.

• Strong leadership in managing enterprise GIS environments and multi‑user geodatabases.
• Advanced spatial analysis skills including network analysis, spatial modeling, geostatistics, and transportation GIS.
• Expertise in data governance, metadata management, and quality control for zero‑error spatial data.
• Proficiency in integrating GIS with asset management and road maintenance systems.
• Technical proficiency in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, geodatabases, Python automation, remote sensing tools, and GPS/GNSS data processing.
• Strong communication and reporting skills for preparing high‑level GIS reports and dashboards.
• Strategic problem‑solving capability with the ability to propose long‑term GIS improvements.
• In‑depth understanding of road networks, asset management, utilities, and transportation GIS workflows.
