• Create, edit, maintain, and perform QA/QC on GIS datasets using ArcGIS Pro and open‑source GIS tools.

• Support municipal and county clients with day‑to‑day GIS operations, mapping, and data management activities.

• Manage and maintain geodatabases, large datasets, and GIS data publishing workflows.

• Work with Geo Server, databases, and web‑based GIS applications to support data access and visualization.

• Assist with GPS and survey‑related activities, including field data collection and data integration as needed.

• Develop maps, reports, and data products to support infrastructure, utilities, and local government projects.

• Provide technical support, training, and guidance to clients and internal users on GIS tools and workflows.

• Learn and support the administration of a proprietary Bright Spot Platform for GIS‑based data management.

• Coordinate with project managers, developers, and clients to solve GIS and data management challenges.

• Digitize data from various sources, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, hardcopy maps, and CAD files.

• Work with coordinate projections to align imagery, CAD, and GIS data accurately.

• Plan, capture, and post‑process GPS data to meet project accuracy and standards requirements.

• Develop geospatial databases, including designing schemas and implementing data standards.

• Acquire geospatial data from clearinghouses and agencies such as USGS and FEMA, as well as commercial sources.

• Plan, develop, document, and analyze geospatial databases to support planning, infrastructure, and operations.

• Create high‑quality cartographic products and maintain cartographic standards, templates, and symbology.

• Provide detailed written documentation, including metadata, instructions, standards, and specifications in a clear, concise, and well‑structured manner.

• Mentor junior personnel and provide technical leadership in the use and application of geospatial technologies.

• Lead a small team of 2–3 analysts and technicians when needed, ensuring quality and timely delivery of GIS products.

• Represent the organization at user group meetings, professional functions, and on‑site client engagements.

• Coordinate with application developers to determine optimal configurations and solutions for GIS applications and data services.

• Work independently when required, managing tasks and priorities to meet project goals.

• Participate in professional geospatial associations and activities to stay current with industry trends and best practices.

• Work within project and task budgets and schedules, ensuring deliverables meet quality and timeline expectations.

• Understand and follow company quality management policies and procedures in all GIS work products.

• Bachelor's degree in GIS, Geography, Geospatial Sciences, Planning, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• At least 2 years of GIS experience, including internships or co‑op roles.

• Proficiency with ArcGIS Pro, including GIS data editing and map production.

• Experience managing geodatabases, including domains, subtypes, feature datasets, and feature classes.

• Advanced knowledge of GIS data and network topology and the ability to create and execute complex geospatial tasks.

• Strong experience with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and applicable GIS standards such as SDSFIE.

• Exposure to databases, large datasets, and GIS data management workflows.

• Demonstrated ability to create map layouts using advanced cartographic techniques.

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy and quality control.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including…
