The Pima County Information Technology Department is seeking a highly motivated, thorough and disciplined individual with strong Geographic Information Systems (GIS) knowledge and skills for a GIS Analyst I. This position is part of the GIS Solutions team, which operates in a multi-disciplinary environment and provides GIS services to numerous County departments. Customer service is an integral component of this position as it may require interacting with County staff (in all positions).

This position may be involved in a wide variety of GIS projects and data/application development work, using Esri data models and tools such as Enterprise Geodatabases, the ArcGIS Enterprise suite, with focus on ArcGIS Pro, Story Maps, Dashboards, Experience Builder, internal and external web-based tools and applications, and mobile applications and data workflow management tools.

This person's projects may include the following areas of focus:

• Enterprise geospatial data management and dissemination, such as traditional vector GIS layers, raster data, imagery, basemaps, web mapping systems, and reporting tools such as dashboards.
• The implementation, development, and management of the GIS infrastructure and data.
• Performing spatial analysis in a multi-disciplinary work environment, and producing products from the results, such as online or traditional maps using cartographic skills, reports, or other types of apps that visualize and/or report the results.
• Process automation using scripting tools and scheduled data processing jobs, including the migration of legacy code to modern languages such as Python and Arcade.
• Some familiarity/experience working with raster data and utilizing imagery is a benefit. Flying/familiarity with drones is a plus.
